Can Chemical resistant hose, also for food substances TYGONÂ® 2375 be sterilized with ethylene oxide or radiation up to 2.5 Mrad without affecting food safety?

Chemical resistant hose, also for food substances TYGONÂ® 2375 can be sterilized with ethylene oxide or by radiation up to 2.5 Mrad without compromising food safety, provided the sterilization is performed according to validated procedures and within the stated radiation limit. The product description explicitly states possible sterilization with ethylene oxide or radiation (up to 2.5 Mrad) and confirms compliance with food-contact regulations (EU 1935/2004 and 10/2011, FDA 21 CFR 177.1520, NSF-51) and REACH. Its polyolefin composition, glassy smooth pore-free inner surface, low absorption/adsorption and absence of plasticizers minimize risk of migration, taste or odor changes after approved sterilization. Ensure sterilization parameters (dose, temperature, aeration for EtO residual removal) follow supplier guidance and regulatory limits; validate for your specific use and substances to confirm no adverse effects on safety or organoleptic properties.

Is Chemical resistant hose, also for food substances TYGONÂ® 2375 compatible with all common food-grade sanitizers and disinfectants?

Chemical resistant hose, also for food substances TYGONÂ® 2375 is resistant to acids, bases, salts, alcohols and ketones and is stated as resistant to chemical cleaning and disinfecting agents. Its glassy, poreâfree inner surface and low absorption minimize contamination and odor/taste transfer, and it meets EU 1935/2004, EU 10/2011, FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 and NSFâ51 requirements. Possible sterilization: ethylene oxide or radiation (up to 2.5 Mrad). However, compatibility with specific foodâgrade sanitizers/disinfectants depends on their exact chemical composition and concentration; hydrocarbons are not recommended. For confirmation, test or consult manufacturerâs chemical compatibility data for the specific disinfectant and use conditions.

Does Chemical resistant hose, also for food substances TYGONÂ® 2375 leach any substances into acidic or alcoholic fluids over repeated use?

Chemical resistant hose, also for food substances TYGONÂ® 2375: based on the product description, this hose is formulated to be free of plasticizers, made of polyolefin, and certified for food contact (EU 1935/2004, EU 10/2011 where applicable, FDA 21 CFR 177.1520, NSF-51). It is resistant to acids, bases, salts, alcohols and ketones and shows very low absorption and adsorption, with a glassy, pore-free inner surface that minimizes deposition and facilitates cleaning. These features greatly reduce the risk of leaching or transfer of taste/odor into acidic (e.g., fruit juices) or alcoholic (e.g., wine) fluids even with repeated use. The hose complies with REACH and does not contain hazardous/prohibited substances; it can be sterilized (ethylene oxide or radiation up to 2.5 Mrad) and is resistant to chemical cleaning agents. Limitations: not recommended for hydrocarbons, and food-contact safety applies for conditions/substances covered by the certifications. In summary: under intended use (acids, alcohols, standard cleaning/disinfection, and within temperature/pressure limits) TYGONÂ® 2375 is designed to minimize leaching and preserve taste/odor over repeated use, but ensure use within certified conditions and avoid incompatible hydrocarbons.

Colorless, transparent, flexible hose completely free of plasticizers for chemical and food applications – requiring high chemical resistance due to the nature of the substances (e.g., wine – alcohol, acids – orange juice) or used cleaning and disinfecting agents. Resistant to acids, bases, salts, alcohols, and ketones, with very low levels of absorption and adsorption. This minimizes the risk of changing the properties, taste, and smell of the fluid even with repeated use of the hose. The glassy smooth, pore-free inner surface prevents the deposition and adherence of contaminants inside the hose and facilitates cleaning. Resistant to chemical cleaning and disinfecting agents. Not recommended for hydrocarbons. Meets hygiene and food contact requirements: European 1935/2004/EC and 10/2011 EU (for conditions and substances according to certification), American FDA 21 CFR 177.1520, NSF-51. Possible sterilization with ethylene oxide or radiation (up to 2.5 Mrad). Compliant with REACH – does not contain hazardous and prohibited substances. Proper incineration of used hoses does not release hazardous substances (e.g., hydrochloric acid). The hose is used for both food substances (e.g., wine dispensing) and chemical applications: detergent installations, ink dispensing, acid filling for batteries, chemical analyzers. Full hose roll length 15 m (for internal diameter 25.4 mm – 7.5 m). The specified working pressure is defined relative to the burst pressure with a safety factor of 1:5. Material: polyolefin. Operating temperature: from -75°C to +54°C. Brittleness temperature: -75°C. Hardness: 75° Shore (A). Density: 0.90 g/cm³. Note: Product packaged in the Clean Room of Tubes International (CLEAN ROOM) adhering to strict standards. Return of the product after opening the packaging is not possible.
