The only choice for phthalate-free flexible tubing
Non-DEHP Tubing for Laboratory, Food & Beverage
and Vacuum Applications
Saint-Gobain is proud to be among the first companies to offer sustainable, flexible
tubing products. The bio-based Tygon S3 line combines high performance with an
eco-friendly tubing design. Crystal clear and flexible, long-lasting and crack-resistant,
Tygon S3 E-3603 non-DEHP tubing delivers the same superior performance you have
come to expect, and in a formulation that contains a bio-based plasticizer.
Tygon S3 ™ E-3603 is manufactured under tightly controlled standards to ensure
consistency and reduce variability in your application. It is non-toxic, non-
contaminating, and the glassy-smooth inner bore helps prevent buildup and facilitates
cleaning. Coils are marked at 1-foot (30.4 cm) intervals for easy measuring.
Engineered to Last
Tygon S3 ™ E-3603 Tubing is formulated to resist flex-fatigue and abrasion. As a tubing
for instrumentation connection, vent, drain and other general laboratory applications, Tygon S3™ E-3603 Features/Benefits
