Tygon is a form of rubber. It is highly resistant to chemicals. The metals won't do anything to it.

Clearflex has the same properties, but is available for a lower price (hint hint).

Note however that both of these have a fairly low max temp rating, around 74 degC.
[edit: max temp corrected]
The dye is pretty harmless stuff. If it reacts with anything, it would be the additive, where the additive would absorb or neutralize the dye.
