4-Ply, wire-reinforced, mandrel-wrapped, silicone suction hose.
Low volatile grade, platinum-cured silicone hose for critical pharmaceutical, biomedical, cosmetic and food processing applications. The core is then slipped onto a mandrel and wrapped with polyester mesh fabric, 316 stainless steel reinforcing wire and additional silicone. It is cured into a homogeneous hose to enhance its pressure and vacuum capabilities. APSW has undergone extensive physical, chemical and biological testing and meets USP Class VI, FDA CFR 177.2600, ISO 10993, European Pharmacopoeia 3.1.9 and 3-A standards.
APSW is not intended for implantation and is not to be used for continuous steam applications.
