This article had degenerated into a sales pitch for the product. I am going to try to revert some of the most egregious promotional stuff. – ukexpat (talk) 16:32, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- ...though it does appear to be some pretty nifty stuff, even from a neutral perspective... see the citation I just entered KDS4444Talk 10:18, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
- I didn't see the old version, but I'm disappointed there is essentially zero discussion of what it actually is or how it's made. Claiming something to be essentially inert to chemical attack is a big claim to make. And people, like me, are trying to weigh up buying it for handling severely corrosive materials against true fluoropolymers. The fact Tygon is lined with PFA when high chemical resistance is required demonstrates that, whatever it's made from, it's not on the same level with the others with regards to this. It does look a lot like a list of their products, still. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.24.47.178 (talk) 09:23, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
Article name
editI think this article should be moved to either Tygon (as with similar articles about brand names) or to Tygon tubing (over the existing redirect). Thoughts please? – ukexpat (talk) 16:17, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- Sounds good to me. I think Tygon works with a redirect from Tygon tubing. ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:32, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
As Tygon is a brand name of Saint-Gobain for a special product with special properties it should be keept for info.\Daniel Stern —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.8.92.154 (talk) 13:14, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Not very informative
editI don't mind a bit of a sales pitch, but this article is not even informative. What is this stuff made from? It could be polymerized horse urine for all we know. What are it's general weaknesses? What is it's relative cost and flexibility compared to nylon, Teflon or silicon carbide pipe for that matter? What is the total yearly volume made by all companies? If this stuff is so resistant to chemical attack, does it ever break down in landfill?
