Silicone High Purity Hose and Tubing

product details

Alternative Products

Pharmalex is a lower pressure, lighter duty alternative to Pharmaline. Pharmalex is like Pharmaline, but without a wire braid, and with a transparent silicone rubber cover.

Applications

Pharmaline is designed for use in high purity pharmaceutical, biotech, chemical and foodstuffs application areas, where ease of cleaning the hose is required, both internal and external. It is also very suitable for use in other general industrial applications, particularly those where hot fluids or gases are being used.

Advantages over conventional hose designs

Pharmaline can be used to replace silicone rubber hoses, particularly where much better chemical resistance, and ease of cleaning the PTFE hose liner is an advantage.

Unlike silicone rubber hose, pharmaline can be steam sterilised and number of times, without degradation of the hose liner. Pharmaline can be used to replace conventional smoothbore PTFE lined hoses in applications where much better flexibility of pharmaline is an advantage.

Pharmaline is smaller in O/D and lighter in weight then its nearest rival product because the construction does not include any glass fibre filler layers. The PTFE weight per unit length, however is higher.

Pharmaline N design provide superior alternative to silicone rubber hose and tube for use in Pharmaceutical, Biotech and Fine Chemical manufacturing and research plants. The excellent chemical resistance of the PTFE liner and the ease of cleaning and resistance to steam sterilising represent important advantages in many applications.
