SUPRENE offers excellent flex fatigue resistance and good tear resistance, making it an ideal choice for peristaltic pump applications. The FDA material is suitable for a variety of clean uses and is autoclavable to ensure cleanliness.
Black industrial SUPRENE offers good resistance to U.V., ozone, chemicals, and other fluids. It will also handle applications where oil may splash onto the tubing and is well suited for outdoor use. /Asset/a4197.jpg
NEWTEX tubing is an exceptionally resilient material that has notable wear resistance, very low permanent set characteristics, and excellent flexibility at low temperatures.
NEWTEX will withstand repeated sterilization with autoclaving at 250ºF for 20 minutes. It will also endure limited sterilization with ethylene oxide or gamma radiation.
Since natural rubber NEWTEX has some protein trace (an allergen), synthetic NEWTEX (polyisoprene) made without protein can be supplied through minimum order. Synthetic NEWTEX can also be cured in straight lengths. Synthetic NEWTEX should also be considered for its translucency, as natural latex's amber color is quite dark.
Also available through special order is vacuum-rated, red-colored NEWTEX.
Note that NEWTEX may have multiple pieces per length of tubing. This is due to the material's manufacturing limitations. /Asset/a4214.jpg
ZELITE conforms to the applicable regulations of the FDA for use of articles intended for contact with food. The increased tensile strength of ZELITE Linear Low Density, over that of a low density polyethylene, enhances its resistance to splitting during use.
FEP-lined polyethylene, offering superior purity at a very reasonable cost, is available through minimum order. Medium-high and ultra-high density polyethylene material is available through minimum order. Medium-high and ultra high density polyethylene material is available through minimum order. /Asset/a4209.jpg
HYTREL-LINED PVC TUBING is designed to offer the flexibility and durability of PVC tubing with a liner of inert. DuPont Dow Elastomers' Hytrel for additional resistance to oils, high temperatures, and gas permeability. A patented process molecularly bonds liner and jacket to make a virtually inseparable product. This cost- saving co-extrusion permits HYTREL-LINED PVC to be substituted for conventional reinforced PVC hose in many applications.
The Hytrel polyester core offers internal resistance to chemical attack, abrasion, and contamination, along with a high degree of resistivity to adherence of particulates, making HYTREL LINED PVC exceptionally suited for use in air sampling applications.
HYTREL-LINED PVC TUBING'S black PVC jacket offers excellent resistance to abrasion and oils, as well as U.V. The pliable PVC also provides a degree of shock resistance and insulates the tubing from electronic interference.
HYTREL-LINED PVC TUBING is made of FDA- sanctioned ingredients for use with food contact surfaces. The tubing withstands repeated autoclaving with no separation of layers. /Asset/a4213.jpg
VITUBE's main attributes include exceptional chemical resistance at elevated temperatures. It has withstood continuous service temperatures of 600ºF for 48 hours and 500ºF for 1000 hours while maintaining its mechanical properties. However, care should be taken at these elevated temperatures. Tests should be performed to determine application suitability.
VITUBE possesses the high resiliency of an elastomer as well as the good mechanical properties of conventional synthetic rubbers. The heat and chemical resistance factors, however, usually go far beyond the range of other rubbers.
The 60A durometer compound is specially formulated for use in peristaltic pumps. All VITUBE formulations are produced with 100% DuPont Dow Viton fluoroelastomers (chemical name: fluorocarbon FKM) and are matte black in color. VITUBE contains no regrind material nor blends of other elastomers.
If accidental burning of VITUBE occurs, extreme caution should be taken due to Hydrogen Fluoride and other decomposition products. Avoid inhalation of vapors liberated at service temperatures above 392ºF.
If your application calls for harder VITUBE, 90A durometer is available. /Asset/a4212.jpg
PROLITE is a high-crystalline, polypropylene copolymer tubing. The compound used in its manufacture is NSF-61 listed and meets FDA requirements for food contact surfaces. It also meets the UL 94 HB burn rating.
PROLITE is frequently used in food processing and other industries for clean applications. It is a naturally white, semi-rigid product offering limited ability to bend. Since it is weldable, PROLITE may be joined directly, although it is typically joined by means of a push-to-connect fitting such as Newloc®.
Polypropylene is the lightest of all thermoplastic materials. It offers high strength-to-weight ratio, low surface friction, and excellent resistance to corrosion.
Based on its physical properties, PROLITE may be applied as a reasonably-priced alternative to fluoropolymer tubing in many applications. /Asset/a4211.jpg
PE-LINED EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) tubing is designed for use where high purity is required. It also offers excellent chemical resistance and non-toxicity, while maintaining good flexibility. A co-extruded product, PE-LINED EVA is made of a low density polyethylene liner with an EVA outer jacket. It is manufactured in a patented process (Patent No, 4061461) to ensure the highest bond quality possible.
PE-LINED EVA tubing meets Class VI requirements and is suitable for use in poultry and meat processing. PE-LINED EVA also meets or exceeds standards in National Formulary, Vol. 14 for containers for injectable (plastics).
This product is an excellent substitute for PTFE, at working temperatures below 100ºF, with cost savings of 50% or more. For working temperatures up to 180ºF and greater stress resistance, ask about irradiated PE-LINED EVA tubing. /Asset/a4210.jpg
