A new formulation of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) has been developed for fluid transfer in the biopharmaceutical industry.

AdvantaFlex biopharm tubing - pump tubing AdvantaFlex addresses the need for a flexible, translucent, sterilizable, heat sealable, and weldable biopharmaceutical tubing for fluid processing. AdvantaFlex maintains its physical properties following gamma irradiation and autoclave 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.
