Pharmaline is a unique, genuinely smoothbore PTFE-lined hose product, based on a patented PTFE hose liner tube design. Pharmaline is designed to overcome the very poor flexibility of currently available similar smooth bore products. Pharmaline N includes a grade 316 stainless steel wire braid for additional strength and resistance to high internal pressures.
The only products which can match the flexibility of Pharmaline are convoluted PTFE lined hose products, sometimes misleadingly referred to as “smoothbore” or “smoothflex” even when the bore is actually convoluted.
Pharmalex is a lower pressure, lighter duty alternative to Pharmaline. Pharmalex is the same as Pharmaline, but without any wire braid, and with a transparent silicone rubber cover.
Phamialine is designed for use in high purity pharmaceutical, biotech, chemical and foodstuffs application areas, where ease of cleaning the hose is required, both intemal and external. It is also very suitable for use in other general industrial applications, particularly those where hot fluids or gases are being passed, and if there is any risk of bums due to accidental touching of the hose- for example. hot oil or steam transfer applications.
Pharmaline can be used to replace silicon rubber hoses, particularly where much better chemical resistance, and ease of cleaning the PTFE hose liner is an advantage.
Unlike silicon 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.
* Maximum Working Pressures vary with temperature as in graph below
** These sizes will be revised from 1st september to have slighty larger actual bore and OD dimensions, and to have a helix wire
