What is a silicone hose assembly?
Flextech’s silicone lined hose assemblies are designed to meet the stringent purity, flexibility and reliability specifications depended upon by medical and pharmaceutical industries around the world. Manufactured to the highest standards including USP VI, EU Pharmacopoeia and FDA 21.FFR.177.2600 these silicone lined hoses are more than adequate for production and research in diverse sectors like biotechnology, life sciences, food and beverages.
The silicone liner provides a durable yet lightweight contact with air or liquid, with a range of reinforcement options for high pressure, anti-kinking or extra flexibility requirements. Select from close pitch steel wire or opt for the open mesh polyester braid layers found in our Pharmaceutical silicone lined hoses. The high level of reinforcement makes the silicone hoses resistant to temperature extremes, radiation, chemical attack, viral spores including Covid-19 and gases including ozone.
To maintain the highest standards both the cover and liner of these hoses are manufactured using platinum cured silicone products in a dedicated facility. This ensures there is nil cross contamination and the highest levels of purity. This results in a tasteless, odourless hose which will not impair the content of the hoses degradation over time such as yellowing will not occur.
