Tygon® Ink 1000

Ultra Chemical Resistant Tubing for UV Ink Transfer Applications
For UV inks in particular, UV blocking properties is an industry standard. Tygon® Ink 1000 tubing from Saint-Gobain has shown over an accelerated testing period that it can maintain the ink integrity with our patented technology, making it an ideal candidate for the UV market.
In the ink transfer space, chemical compatibility and flexibility are two of the most important criteria for ensuring satisfactory performance. Tygon® Ink 1000 was engineered to deliver premium performance in environments where UV inks are used such as digital printing and 3D printing applications. This product has been tested with a variety of diluents (IBOA, VMOX, HDDA, etc.) and has shown excellent chemical resistance properties over an extended testing phase.
