Is the Hose for acids and alkalis, anti-static MANICHEM MARBLE safe for food contact and compliant with EU and FDA regulations at temperatures up to 50Â°C?

Hose for acids and alkalis, anti-static MANICHEM MARBLE Format . Based on the provided description, the inner MARBLE UPE layer is stated to "comply with food hose requirements" and the hose is declared compliant with relevant standards for food contact: EU regulations 1935/2004/EC, 2023/2006/EC (GMP), 10/2011/EU and FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 (c), plus national D.M. 21/03/73. The hoseâs operating temperature range is -35Â°C to +100Â°C, so use at 50Â°C falls within that range. However the text also explicitly advises that confirmation of resistance and application conditions requires contact with Tubes International, especially for temperatures above 50Â°C. Therefore: technically the construction and declared standards indicate suitability for food contact and regulatory compliance and the temperature 50Â°C is within the hoseâs rated range, but final confirmation for specific food-contact use and chemical resistance at or near 50Â°C must be obtained from Tubes International before use.

Can Hose for acids and alkalis, anti-static MANICHEM MARBLE be used in explosion-hazard zones (ATEX) and dissipate electrostatic charges safely?

Hose for acids and alkalis, anti-static MANICHEM MARBLE Format: Yes. The hose features antistatic inner UPE and outer EPDM layers (R < 10^6 Î©) and is manufactured to EN 12115:2011 (type Î©/T, fully antistatic R < 10^9 Î©), which ensures dissipation of electrostatic charges through the hose wall and permits use in all ATEX explosion-hazard zones (0, 1, 2, 20, 21, 22) when installed correctly. For safe ATEX application, follow required installation: use smooth spigot fittings matched to hose diameter, clamp sleeves or band clamps, and avoid damaging the UPE inner layer. Confirm chemical compatibility and conditions (especially above 50Â°C) with Tubes International before use.

Can Hose for acids and alkalis, anti-static MANICHEM MARBLE be cleaned and sterilized for pharmaceutical/cosmetic use without damaging the UPE inner layer?

Hose for acids and alkalis, anti-static MANICHEM MARBLE Format. yes, the hose can be cleaned and sterilized for pharmaceutical and cosmetic use in most standard procedures without damaging the UPE (UHMWPE) inner layer, with the following important caveats: - The MARBLE UPE inner layer is chemically resistant to most acids, bases and many aggressive chemicals and is specifically stated as suitable for food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical contact (compliance: 1935/2004/EC; 2023/2006/EC GMP; 10/2011/EU; FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 (c); D.M. 21/03/73). Its low friction surface and resistance to medium deposition facilitate cleaning. - Compatible cleaning/sterilization methods: typical chemical cleans (acid/alkaline detergents within the materialâs resistance range), aqueous sanitizers, and standard CIP procedures at moderate temperatures are acceptable. Mechanical cleaning is aided by the smooth UPE surface. - Temperature limit: do not exceed recommended operating/chemical resistance temperatures. Manufacturer notes require consultation for use above 50Â°C. clearance from Tubes International is needed for higher-temperature sterilization (e.g., prolonged steam at high temperatures). - Mechanical care: avoid sharp-edged fittings or over-tightening that can cut or damage the UPE layer. Use smooth spigots precisely matched to hose ID and clamp sleeves/band clamps as specified. - Antistatic and safety properties: antistatic inner/outer layers and EN 12115:2011 / ATEX compliance remain effective if cleaning does not alter conductive paths; follow recommended agents that do not leave insulating residues. Recommendation: proceed with standard pharmaceutical/cosmetic cleaning and sterilization within the hoseâs chemical and temperature limits, and contact Tubes International for written confirmation and guidance if processes involve temperatures above 50Â°C, aggressive agents outside the specified resistance, or validated sterilization cycles.

Strong suction and discharge hose with an inner layer made of chemically resistant polyethylene with ultra-high molecular weight (UPE, UHMWPE), black and white MARBLE type, smooth, antistatic (R<10⁶ Ω). The inner layer is resistant to most acids and bases as well as many other aggressive chemicals (at elevated but not very high temperatures), making the hose widely used in the chemical and petrochemical industries. The MARBLE type UPE inner layer also complies with food hose requirements, features a low friction coefficient during flow, and prevents medium deposition on the walls. This significantly facilitates cleaning and allows for use in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food industries as well. Reinforced with synthetic cord and steel spiral. The outer layer is made of chemically resistant EPDM rubber, antistatic (R < 10⁶ Ω), abrasion-resistant, ozone-resistant, and weather-resistant. Compliant with EN 12115:11 requirements (type Ω/T, fully antistatic (R < 10⁹ Ω) – ensures the dissipation of electrostatic charges through the hose walls, allowing use in all explosion hazard zones. Standards and requirements: Chemical hoses: EN 12115:2011 (type Ω/T). Food industry, contact with food (inner layer): 1935/2004/EC, 2023/2006/EC (GMP), 10/2011/EU, FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 (c), D.M. 21/03/73. Explosive atmospheres: ATEX directive (zones: 0, 1, 2, 20, 21, 22), EN 50014/ IEC 60079-0. Installation: use smooth fittings with a spigot (“tail” to the hose) without sharp or high ribs that could cut or damage the UPE inner layer when tightened. The spigot diameter should be precisely matched to the hose diameter to ensure tightness. Installation with clamp sleeves or band clamps. Inner layer: white-black UPE polyethylene. Confirmation of resistance and application conditions requires contact with Tubes International, especially for temperatures above 50°C. Inner layer: white-black UPE polyethylene. Reinforcement: synthetic cord, steel spiral. Outer layer: black EPDM rubber. Working pressure: from 12 bar to 16 bar – depending on the hose diameter. Operating temperature: from -35°C to +100°C.
