 Bioprocessing hose features flexible design
Saint-Gobain’s Sani-Tech Ultra-HP hose is designed for the life-sciences market. Its USP Class VI-compliant hose materials include reinforced layers of Sani-Tech Ultra silicone bonded to an ultra-smooth PharmaFluor FEP inner liner to ensure optimal flow and ease of cleaning. This hose is lightweight and extremely flexible. Its applications include bioprocessing, load cells, and product transfer.
The Sani-Tech Ultra-HP hose is available in 12-ft. lengths, and is constructed with multiple layers of reinforced Sani-Tech Ultra platinum-cured silicone. It contains a smooth inner bore for improved cleaning and sanitization, a fluoropolymer liner to minimize the binding of biological materials, and high-purity materials with a low count of total organic carbons, extractables, and leachables. Additional features include a broad chemical resistance, a simple assembly procedure, and a temperature rating of –65 ºF (–54 ºC) to 350 ºF (177 ºC).
