Is Universal soft laboratory hose VERSILONâ¢ E-1000 compatible with peristaltic pumps using low-torque or battery-powered motors?

Yes. Universal soft laboratory hose VERSILONâ¢ E-1000 is compatible with peristaltic pumps using low-torque or battery-powered motors. Its exceptionally soft, low-hardness (40Â° Shore A) PVC construction requires minimal compression force, reducing load on the pump drive. The hose remains flexible at low temperatures (down to -55Â°C), resists kinking and twisting, and offers longer service life in peristaltic applications than typical silicone hoses. Note sterilize only with ethylene oxide; ensure operating temperature does not exceed +52Â°C and observe the specified working pressure relative to burst pressure (safety factor 1:5).

Can Universal soft laboratory hose VERSILONâ¢ E-1000 be sterilized by methods other than ethylene oxide?

Universal soft laboratory hose VERSILONâ¢ E-1000 cannot be sterilized by methods other than ethylene oxide. The product description specifies sterilization only with ethylene oxide; other common methods (autoclaving/steam, dry heat, gamma or electron-beam irradiation, hydrogen peroxide plasma) are not indicated and may damage the PVC material or alter its properties (softness, flexibility, chemical resistance, maximum operating temperature). Use ethylene oxide sterilization only.

Does Universal soft laboratory hose VERSILONâ¢ E-1000 meet FDA and REACH standards for food contact?

Yes. Universal soft laboratory hose VERSILONâ¢ E-1000 meets FDA requirements for food contact and is also compliant with REACH. The hose is DEHP-free PVC formulated for food-contact compliance; sterilize only with ethylene oxide.

Additional information

Material	PVC – polyvinyl chloride
Maximum operating temperature [°C]	52
Vacuum resistance	yes
Standard length [m]	15, 3, 50

Colorless, transparent, exceptionally soft and flexible, universal laboratory hose free of phthalates (DEHP). An excellent solution for complex laboratory equipment installations requiring small bend radii and multiple curves. This ultra-soft hose is resistant to twisting and kinking and remains flexible at low temperatures (down to -55°C). Due to its softness, it does not require high forces for compression, making it an ideal solution for peristaltic pumps with low torque or battery-powered. It has a longer lifespan in peristaltic pump applications compared to typical silicone hoses, while also possessing good chemical resistance to a range of corrosive media (acids, bases, salts, alcohols). Compliant with FDA requirements for food contact and REACH. Sterilization only with ethylene oxide. Full hose roll length: 15 m. The specified working pressure is defined relative to the burst pressure with a safety factor of 1:5. Material: PVC (special, DEHP-free). Maximum operating temperature: +52°C. Brittleness temperature: -55°C. Hardness: 40° Shore (A). Density: 1.1 g/cm³. Note: Product packaged in the Clean Room of Tubes International (CLEAN ROOM) adhering to strict standards. Return of the product after opening the packaging is not possible.
