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
Tubing does not easily crack or deteriorate, even in physically demanding applications.
Norprene® Food Process Tubing consistently outperforms general purpose rubber
tubing in a wide variety of applications. It will not weaken or crack following years
of exposure to heat and ozone. Norprene® Food Process Tubing is extremely abrasion
resistant and bends easily to simplify custom component assembly.
Simplifies Cleaning and Sterilization
Norprene® Food Process Tubing is ideal for use in clean-in-place and steam-in-place
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
with FDA 21 CFR, 177.2600 criteria, 3-A Sanitary Standards and NSF Standard 51, which
are applicable in many food contact applications.

Typical Applications
Certain applications require using pressures that only reinforced tubing can
withstand. For those applications, Norprene® Pressure Tubing is now available.
It has the same desirable properties as Norprene® Food Process Tubing with an
additional reinforcement embedded within its walls to withstand elevated pressure.
(Refer to the Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics data page on Norprene® Pressure
Tubing for complete details.)
Excellent Chemical Resistance
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. Refer to
the comprehensive Tygon® Tubing catalog for a complete listing of common chemicals
and their relative affect on Norprene® Food Process Tubing.
