Advantaflex TPE Tubing
dvantaFlex TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) tubing addresses the need for a flexible, translucent, sterilizable, moldable, heat sealable, and weldable biopharmaceutical 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. Full BPOG standardized extractables test protocol has been performed by a fully-accredited, third-party test lab.
