Special Masterflex Tubing for Challenging Applications

Masterflex® PharMed® BPT Tubing

Demanding or unique applications require specially formulated tubing. Masterflex® has a pump tubing that will meet the challenge. It is used in chemical processing, research, water treatment, pharmaceutical, biotech, and industrial applications as well as many others.

Consult the list below for special tubing descriptions.

C-Flex ULTRA Pump Tubing is notably advanced when compared to previous generations of C-FLEX. It offers five to ten times the pump life with much lower spallation. The lower spallation virtually eliminates the buildup of residue on the pump head rollers. C-Flex ULTRA offers the excellent chemical compatibility of an SBS-based thermoplastic elastomer formulation.

Exclusive Chem-Durance® Bio Pump Tubing provides excellent chemical resistanceand pumping life and meets USP Class VI standards. A plasticizer-free liner helps reduce spallation. The thermoplastic outer jacket provides more durability—especially under higher pressures.

Viton® Pump Tubing for the chemical resistance of Viton combined with FDA compliance for food andbeverage applications.

PTFE Pump Tubing is chemically inert, will not absorb or leach into fluid, and can withstand pressures up to 6.8 bar (100 psi).

High-Pressure Pump Tubing: Need to pump under pressure? Masterflex High-Pressure PharMed® BPT and Norprene® tubing can withstand up to 10.2 bar (150 psi) continuously. PTFE pump tubing also operates up to 6.8 bar (100 psi) (page 1492), while GORE® Style 100SC and Style 500 pump tubing exhibit long life at up to 4.1 bar (60 psi).

GORE® High-Resilience Pump Tubing—Style 100SC and Style 500 offer a long life at continuous pressures—up to 4.1 bar (60 psi). Both formulations have excellent flow stability with minimal break-in period while also having the benefits of being spallation free and with low gas permeability. The Style 500 formulation has the added benefit of offering excellent chemical compatibility with many inorganic and organic chemicals. These tubing formulations are specifically targeted at industrial applications.

GORE® High-Resilience Pump Tubing—Style 400 is a unique composite of expanded PTFE (EPTFE) and Viton® type F fluoroelastomer (FKM), making it resistant to a wide range of chemistries. Multilayer construction enables tubing to maintain a stable flow rate for hundreds of hours while pumping aggressive media. It is resistant to aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols (including methanol), steam, and concentrated acids. Primarily for industrial applications, it is designed for long life up to 4.1 bar (60 psi) continuously.
