BRAIDED TPE HOSE

Braided Thermoplastic Elastomer Tubing for Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Applications

Braided silicone alternative tubing engineered for high-purity fluid under pressure with biocompatibility for demanding biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.

Braided Flexelene 135C has been developed to meet the critical demands of bioprocess, medical and laboratory applications.  This newly formulated TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) tubing is an excellent alternative to silicone.

FLXCBR135C tubing is durable and an excellent choice for use in high pressure applications.  Sterilized by Ethylene Oxide (EtO), Gamm resistance to 45 kGy, Autoclave to 135°C, temperature range -44°C to 135°C, RoHS Compliant, Shore A 68 Hardness.

Manufactured for ultra-pure fluid transfer and meets a diverse range of pharmaceutical, medical and bioprocessing applications.  Braided Flexelene 135C meets the requirements of USP 661, CFR, USP VI, ISO 9001 and 13485 and other special test requirements.

Typical Applications Pharmaceutical and biotech processing Single-use systems High volume ultra-pure fluid transfer Media processing Sterile filling Laboratory use Skid transfers Processing lines Features and Benefits Superior Bio Compatibility No Halogens or Phthalates High pressure Rating Extremely Flexible Ultra-low Extractables/Leachables Non-pyrogenic Material Non-Animal Derived Ultra-pure Medical Grade Excellent resilience and bend radius.
