Is Silicone hose for biotechnological applications C-flex compatible with common sterilization methods (autoclave, radiation, ethylene oxide) without losing mechanical properties?

Silicone hose for biotechnological applications C-flex Format is compatible with common sterilization methods . autoclave, radiation, and ethylene oxide . without significant loss of mechanical properties. Made from a patented thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) with 60Â° Shore A hardness and an operating range of â45Â°C to +135Â°C, it is specifically designed for biotechnological use, peristaltic pumps, and high-purity processes. The material is non-toxic, non-hemolytic, apyrogenic, meets USP Class VI, and is easily thermally weldable (Câeal-Flexâ¢ TPE Ultra Sealer). It also offers chemical resistance to concentrated acids and bases. These characteristics support repeated sterilization cycles by autoclaving, gamma/other radiation, and ethylene oxide sterilization while maintaining functional integrity for typical bioprocessing applications.

Can Silicone hose for biotechnological applications C-flex be reliably thermally welded using Câeal-Flexâ¢ TPE Ultra Sealer without compromising sterility?

Yes. Silicone hose for biotechnological applications C-flex can be reliably thermally welded with the Câeal-Flexâ¢ TPE Ultra Sealer without compromising sterility. The hose is a patented thermoplastic elastomer designed for biotech use, easily thermally weldable, and suitable for peristaltic pumps. It is non-toxic, non-hemolytic, apyrogenic, and of high purity class; it withstands autoclave, radiation, and ethylene oxide sterilization methods. Meeting USP Class VI and with operating range -45Â°C to +135Â°C and Shore A 60 hardness, the material is compatible with Câeal-Flexâ¢ TPE Ultra Sealer welding while maintaining sterility when proper validated procedures are followed.

Does Silicone hose for biotechnological applications C-flex maintain chemical resistance to concentrated acids and bases?

Yes. Silicone hose for biotechnological applications C-flex maintains chemical resistance to concentrated acids and bases. Its patented thermoplastic elastomer construction is specified as resistant to concentrated acids and bases, and the material meets high-purity and biocompatibility standards (non-toxic, non-hemolytic, apyrogenic, USP Class VI). It is also sterilizable by autoclave, radiation, and ethylene oxide, and suitable for peristaltic pumps, with operating range â45Â°C to +135Â°C and hardness 60Â° Shore A.
