C-Flex® TPE Braided tubing for high pressure application.

C-Flex® Braided tubing is specifically designed to meet the critical demands of high pressure fluid processing applications in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical for fluid process.

The Material Difference

C-Flex® Braided is produced using the C-Flex® 082 translucent ADCF (Animal Derived Component Free) material formulation, a TPE material commonly approved for use in many biopharmaceutical applications. Reinforcement is provided by a polyester fiber that provides increased pressure rating and improved bend radius. It is compatible with steam sterilization and gamma-irradiation. C-Flex® Braided tubing is part of a family of TPE tubing offering the widest range of formulations and sizes in the industry including C-Flex® 082 and 374 translucent tubing for fluid flow visibility, and C-Flex® 072 opaque for peristaltic pump applications and transfer of light sensitive fluids.

Biocompatible

C-Flex® Braided tubing is manufactured from C-Flex 082 thermoplastic materials and tested to a variety of specifications.

Features / Benefits :
