Tygon vs Silicone. - Page 4

Jessfm · 05-03-2002, 05:45 PM

Damn this stuff is expensive in the UK- Im getting it in though (ocpc anyway), it might even work out cheaper next time to ship it in a 100m roll from the US.
Anyone got a working link ??

Cyco-Dude · 05-03-2002, 05:55 PM

ive looked around at USplastic and McMaster, and USplastic has better prices. are there any other places that sell this stuff @ low prices?

also, some-1 should find out what the difference is between the R-1000 (used for peristaltic pumps) and R-3603 (lab grade) formulations, becuase the 3603 is much cheaper than the R-1000 formulation, and looks to have the characteristics we're looking for.

1/2 ID 3/4 OD the good stuff

im waiting till im done with my case to sell anymore.. but how much did you want? its $3 a foot i think the price i set was.

ill probably endup buying another 50-100 foot roll if i get alot of people who want it and sell it cheaper then what you pay for buying a little section.. just need to know who wants what and need the $$ then ill cut it up and ship it out.

Jason-Pro · 05-03-2002, 09:07 PM

email me @ lpkretsch@powercom.net if you want any tygon. if i get enough who want it ill order maybe 100 foot roll. depending who wants what.

Cyco-Dude · 05-03-2002, 09:57 PM

gotta know if its R-1000 or R-3603 or some other formulation...

DDen is supposed to get some R-1000; i wonder how much they'll sell that for?

Jason-Pro · 05-03-2002, 11:46 PM

its the R-3603.

the R-1000 is like $15 a foot aint it?

Jason-Pro · 05-04-2002, 12:17 AM

oh the R-1000 is low psi. i just looked it up forgot which one it was.

that stuff only handles 10psi @ 73F who knows what it handles @ 100F+ dont know how hot water is comming outa a WB tho.

the R-3603 could handle err 25 psi @ 73 F i think.

i remembered that was why i ordered the 3603 instead of the 1000.

Cyco-Dude · 05-04-2002, 12:20 AM

from USplastic, the 1/2" ID, 3/4" OD R-1000 tygon tubing costs $3.73 per foot (must buy in 10-foot lengths tho).
the 1/2" ID, 3/4" OD R-3603 tygon tubing costs $2.91 per foot (must buy in 10-foot lengths as well).

stuff looks nice; i just wish i wouldve know about it befor. couldve saved the $14 i spent on silicone and got some tygon

(and i might still get some...maybe lol)

Jason-Pro · 05-04-2002, 12:25 AM

wonder why the R-1000 is more.. it cant handle as high as psi and cant bend as well.. must be mainly for chemical resistance stuff.just go with the R-3603. its better if you get it.

Cyco-Dude · 05-04-2002, 12:49 AM

actually the 3603 stuff is for lab. but yeah, im wondering the same thing as you.
the R-1000 cant take as high a PSI becuase its softer (and thus probably has a tighter bending radius). but even if you did sell your stuff for 10 cents more (o wow lol), id still save money (since i only need like 6 feet of the stuff). maybe you could price match

also, you could get 3/32" thick R-3603 for $2.13 in 10-ft lengths. i wonder how it conpares to 1/8" thick silicone in terms of bend radius? (cuz i got myself a somewhat tight bend lol)

Jason-Pro · 05-04-2002, 12:53 AM

the 3603 can bend 1 1/2 the 1000 can bend 1 3/4

i use elbows for tight bends... always. ive got 40 of em and ive got like 10 Ys and a few reducers. its nice to have em laying around.

i get all the cool clear ones from usplastics to. they are the polypro ones really nice and they grip tygon to good lol like i said be4 i actually had to cut the tygon off

Does tygon tubing block any UV? I read somewhere(dont know where) that dyelite isnt as bright as with vinyl.

zoson · 05-07-2002, 06:17 PM

I think I posted above that my dyelite doesn't appear very bright at all.
