Plastic Tubing
Plastic tubing of various lengths and bores constructed of materials suitable for general laboratory, biopharmaceutical, food and beverage, medical, vacuum, low-pressure, high-pressure, cleanroom or environmental applications. Products may be chemical- or corrosion-resistant. Formulated for resistance to flex fatigue and abrasion, plastic tubing is more flexible and less permeable than rubber tubing.
How Is Plastic Tubing Used?
Flexible plastic tubing may be used as transfer lines for contamination fluid control, hydraulics, protective jacketing, vacuum pump and diaphragm pump feeds and discharges, refrigeration, water and fluid lines, food and beverage, instrumentation, research laboratories, agriculture, material handling, air and gas lines, chemical lines and pharmaceuticals.
Types of Plastic Tubing:
• PVC: lightweight and flexible, will retain its bore on bending and can be sterilized up to 121°C
• Silicone: ideal where a hard-wearing material is needed, including transfer of liquids or higher temperature environments
• LDPE: good for general low pressure and temperature, instrumentation, corrosive atmosphere, and food processing
• PTFE: has excellent chemical-resistant and temperature-resistant properties
• PE: flexible, lightweight, durable, and corrosion resistant, used for a wide range of liquid, gas, and fluid transfer applications
• FEP: clear, small-diameter tubing, the economical choice for chemical resistance and broad temperature exposure
• PEEK: high-performance polymer with mechanical and chemical resistance, and highly resistant to thermal degradation
AVANTOR MASTERFLEX (VWR LLC) Ismatec Pump Tubing, Gore STA-PURE Series PFL, 3.2 mm ID x 8 mm OD; 355 mm L
Applications: Chemical and pharmaceutical applications. Characteristics: High resilience and strength, low spallation and gas permeability. Opaque. Certifications: USP Class VI compliant, manufactured in Class 7 (ISO 146441-1) cleanroom, under cGMP certified to ISO 13485 and 15378. Temperature range: 0 to 150¿C (Series PFL) Sterilize: Autoclave, CIP/SIP Series PFL tubing is designed to withstand pumping aggressive chemicals with a composite structure made of platinum-cured perfluoroelastomer and ePTFE. Long-term testing showed pumping common organic solvents (acetic acid, acetone, and ethanol) at 10 psig did not reduce the pumping life of the tubing compared with pumping deionized water at the same pressure.
