NORPRENE Food Process Tubing FORMULATION A-60-F For critical processing applications in the food, dairy and cosmetic industries Features/Benefits Formulated for flexural resistance and high temperatures, Norprene Food Process Long flex life in peristaltic pumps Tubing does not easily crack or deteriorate, even in physically demanding applications. Temperature resistant Versatile Norprene Food Process Tubing from -75F to 275F Provides Long Life for Everyday Use Compatible with virtually all Norprene Food Process Tubing consistently outperforms general purpose rubber common sanitizers and cleaners tubing in a wide variety of applications. It will not weaken or crack following years Ozone and UV light resistant of exposure to heat and ozone. Norprene Food Process Tubing is extremely abrasion resistant and bends easily to simplify custom component assembly. Repeatedly autoclavable Chemically compatible with a Simplifies Cleaning and Sterilization wide range of fluids Norprene Food Process Tubing is ideal for use in clean-in-place and steam-in-place Meets FDA, 3-A and NSF criteria cleaning and sterilization systems. It is compatible with virtually all commercial cleaners and sanitizers and can be repeatedly autoclaved for up to five cycle times without affecting its overall service life. Norprene Food Process Tubing fully complies Typical Applications with FDA 21 CFR, 177.2600 criteria, 3-A Sanitary Standards and NSF Standard 51, which Cosmetic production are applicable in many food contact applications. Food and dairy processing Now Available to Withstand Elevated Pressure Hot beverage dispensing Certain applications require using pressures that only reinforced tubing can Water purification lines withstand. For those applications, Norprene Pressure Tubing is now available. It has the same desirable properties as Norprene Food Process Tubing with an Sanitizer delivery additional reinforcement embedded within its walls to withstand elevated pressure. Soap dispensing (Refer to the Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics data page on Norprene Pressure Pesticide/fertilizer delivery Tubing for complete details.) Ink and toner feed lines Excellent Chemical Resistance Chemical transfer Norprene Food Process Tubing provides superior resistance to many corrosive fluids when compared to general purpose rubber tubings. It has excellent acid and alkali resistance and is compatible with numerous oxidizing agents such as peroxide, hypochlorite and ozone. Norprene Food Process Tubing also shows good resistance to the animal and vegetable oils frequently found in food contact applications.

The values listed for working and burst pressures are derived from tests conducted under controlled laboratory conditions. Many factors will reduce the tubings ability to withstand pressures including temperature, chemical attack, stress, pulsation and the attachment to fittings. It is imperative that the user conduct tests simulating the conditions of the application prior to specifying the tubing for use.
