Since the 1940s, TYGON® Flexible Tubing has been recognized as the standard by which other tubing is judged. Each TYGON tubing is manufactured with its own special formula and all ingredients have been carefully qualified and specified regarding chemical composition, purity and toxicological safety. We use systems designed in accordance with ISO 9001 and Quality System Regulation principles, to guarantee quality processing conditions verified by in-process inspection.

The Acutech Engineered Plastics line offers one of the widest varieties of rigid engineered plastics available from a single source. Our extruded thermoplastic tubing, pipe, rod, bushing stock, specialty profiles, heat shrink tubing, as well as highly specialized proprietary custom products and services, meet industry applications such as chemical processing, pharmaceutical, instrumentation, and silicone wafer processing.

Our roll cover and tubing products provide expanded and heat-shrinkable tubing for pulp and paper mills. We also produce microwall sleeves for business equipment. Key to our success is our ability to extrude within tight customer specifications. In the business equipment industry, for example, we provide microwall sleeves on silicone-filled pressure rollers used in copiers and laser printers.

The development of tailored products for specific applications is a core strength of the Flexible Components product line, which includes both smooth bore and convoluted corrosion-resistant and ultra-pure hose assemblies manufactured with Chemfluor® fluoropolymer extruded tubing. Hose assemblies are available in a range of reinforced materials, including stainless steel, polypropylene and PVDF. Applications include biotech, chemical processing, high-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic systems, pump and vessel connections, mixing stations, tank/truck unloading and pharmaceutical.

For the pharmaceutical/biotech manufacturing market, we offer an extensive product line of silicone hose and tubing solutions, crevice-free custom-fabricated barbless manifold systems, peristaltic pump tubing, sanitary flexible hose assemblies, reusable fittings, and high-purity, and non-metallic piping systems including Sani-Tech™, TYGON®, Sil-Flo® and Flexible Components products. Our products have been tested and validated to meet critical regulatory standards.

Our industrial silicone products meet a range of applications including construction, HVAC, lighting, appliance, aerospace, electronic, electrical, chemical processing, document processing, food and beverage and environmental. Through our materials expertise and developmental capabilities, more than 1,200 standard silicone compounds are available to meet the individual needs of the end user. Norton® high performance tanks are rotationally molded in a variety of high-quality virgin resin materials - including polypropylene, PVDF, XLPE, HDPE and LLDPE - that make them ideal for use in demanding chemical and industrial applications.

Demanding applications require high-performance solutions. In the laboratory market, our TYGON®, Chemware®, Bytac®, Zitex®, CBM and Microsep® branded products—representing a broad range of tubing, fluoropolymer labware, surface protection, microporous fluoropolymer membranes, closures, seals, stoppers and septa caps—provide high value-in-use solutions for applications demanding exceptional chemical resistance and ultrapurity. Applications include separation sciences, sterile packaging and septa for vials and injection ports.

The patented design and product innovation of our food and beverage hose, tubing and couplers provide industry-recognized solutions for sanitary applications on the manufacturing end of dairy and liquid food processing. From hoses to couplings, flow indicators to hose supports, our ReSeal® and Sanitary Coupler hoses and fittings handle delivery from every vessel within the plant. These products are the preferred choice for fluid transfer in applications such as dairy and dairy-related food, milk haulers, and filling machine equipment manufacturers.

Synflex products are specified in a wide range of applications, including truck air brake assemblies, hydraulic systems, paint spray, carpet cleaning, fuel containment, packaging for fiber-optic bundles, and control systems for offshore sub-sea oil drilling.

On the dispensing side of beer and beverage fluid delivery, our Synflex hose, tubing and bundles transmit soft drinks and beer from tanks to the glass, protecting the purity and taste of every product while preventing cross-contamination of flavors. TYGON® beverage tubing, specially formulated for transferring a broad range of beverages including fluid juices and flavored teas, will not affect the taste or odor of any product carried through it. Python® insulated bundles are the perfect product when accurate, controlled temperatures are required to dispense soft drinks or draft beer.

Our Macromeric® Materials business is a recognized leader in the design and manufacture of specialty thermoplastic extrusion compounds. The roots of our thermoplastic formulations and compounding processes are in flame-retardant extrusion compounds and concentrates for wire and cable applications, meeting such industry standards as UL, IEEE, CSA, MVSS, and ASTM. The technology of the flame-retardant thermoplastic product line encompasses traditional halogen-containing systems, as well as environmentally friendly halogen-free systems, and has been expanded to include additional applications such as construction, consumer electronics, appliances, and transportation. Beyond the development and production of flame-retardant thermoplastics, the business is also dedicated to polymer modification, focusing on subjects including electrical conductivity and static dissipation. An emerging area of product development and production is related to alloying a variety of thermoplastic materials and functional additives.
