Our SVT-FLEX TRA tubing exhibits similar characteristics to silicone tubing, however silicone can have absorption issues with certain proteins and anti-oxidants and is extremely permeable to gases. These concerns are eliminated when using our TPE Tubes. 
Our TPE tubings are provide elasticity over a broad temperature range, withstand stresses of pump action over time, and, unlike silicone, are weldable and heat-sealable. More so, the new compounds include clear, translucent and opaque grades. In comparison with other TPEs, our TPEs shed lower levels of particles from the inner surface of tubing caused by repeated pump action.
“Due to its High Chemical resistance It is a first choice for applications including metering tablet-coating materials, pH control and media feed in fermentation and bioreactor metering, as well as pharmaceutical handling, dispensing, metering, transfer and filtration.”
The elasticity of these compounds allows tubing to keep pace with rapid pump action, and their durability enables it to retain its shape and remain intact over time.These TPE tubings are also compatible with a broad range of chemicals and are able to be sterilised by e-beam, gamma, and ethylene oxide.
