APAF-BP AdvantaFlex® Biopharmaceutical Grade TPE Tubing from AdvantaPure® NewAge® Industries

Description

A formulation of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) tubing for fluid transfer in the biopharmaceutical industry.

AdvantaFlex addresses the need for a flexible, translucent, sterilizable, moldable, heat sealable, and weldable bio- pharmaceutical tubing for fluid processing. AdvantaFlex maintains its physical properties following sterilization processes, resists kinking, remains translucent for visible product flow, and does not become gummy. Additionally, the unique properties of AdvantaFlex help it outperform similar tubing in peristaltic pumps.
