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
Cole-Parmer PharMed BPT Biocompatible Peristaltic Pump Tubing, 5/16" ID x 7/16" OD, 25 Ft; Saint Gobain AY242022
Biocompatible inner bore is perfect for sensitive bioprocess fluids
The biocompatible fluid surface and exceptional flex life makes this tubing ideal for transferring sensitive bioprocessing fluids in cell harvesting, media processing, vaccine manufacturing, aseptic filling, and diagnostic testing applications.
The PharMed BPT tubing withstands repeated CIP and SIP, simplifying cleaning and sterilization. Tubing can be used with most commercial cleaners and sanitizers; autoclave up to five cycles or use gamma irradiation without affecting overall service life.
Tubing features exceptional flex life characteristics and wear properties to outlast silicone in peristaltic pumps and help minimize downtime due to tubing failures. Low permeability characteristics provide protection for sensitive fluids from gas ingress. Opaque tubing protects light-sensitive fluids from visible and UV lights.
