Versilon™ F-5500-A

Dry Cleaning Fluid Line & Solvent Recovery Tubing
Versilon™ F-5500-A, peristaltic pump tubing from Saint-Gobain provides excellent resistance to corrosive chemicals, oils, fuels, solvents, and most mineral acids. It is highly flexible and resilient, making it the ideal choice in peristaltic pumping of extremely corrosive materials.
Made of a proprietary fluoroelastomer, Versilon™ F-5500-A tubing has both the physical and chemical characteristics that make it ideal for severe fluid handling environments, such as dry cleaning fluid lines and solvent recovery systems, where other flexible tubes fail.
Versilon™ F-5500-A tubing can be used in continuous service with temperatures as high as 400°F (204°C). Its opaque black color helps protect light-sensitive materials being transferred and will not prematurely crack and age when exposed to ozone, sun and weather. A food grade tubing formulation is available upon request.
