Extron "Tuff-Tube" corrosion-resistant, high' pressure tubing is manufactured of rigid Geon by Extron Corporation, Knoxuille, Tennessee, and is used for process plant application like the one shown here. Sizes range from 1/4" thru 3/4" O.D. B.F.Goodrich Chemical Company supplies the Geon rigid vinyl.

Small process and instrument air lines of rigid Geon cut both the cost and corrosion Corrosion — and cost — are frequent problems in the miles of small process, sample, purge and instrument air lines in chemical operations. One way to beat corrosion—and cut maintenance—is to buy lines of high-priced metals. Now there is a way to get tubing with necessary high pressure properties without going to expensive metals. This tubing is being made of rigid Geon vinyl. Rigid Geon is ideal for this kind of operation. It resists most chemicals, hydrocarbons, oxidation or

atmospheric conditions. At the same time it provides impact resistance and tensile strength far beyond this application's needs. Besides being reasonable in cost, rigid Geon tubing is easy to install, light in weight. It comes in different sizes and has color compounded in for installations where color-coding may be desirable. Here's another example of how Geon improves a product, sometimes opening whole new markets or areas of application. For more information, write D e p a r t m e n t NI-1.
