Saint-Gobain’s New C-Flex® ULTRA Pump Tubing for Biopharmaceutical Applications Outperforms the Competition

June 15, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

CLEARWATER, Fla., June 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Saint-Gobain
Performance Plastics has expanded its line of thermoplastic
elastomer (TPE) tubing with the addition of new C-Flex® ULTRA
pump tubing, a product designed specifically to perform in
demanding biopharmaceutical applications such as pumping,
single-use assemblies, process filling and sampling.

Produced from C-Flex® resin that has been validated by
pharmaceutical manufacturers for more than two decades, C-Flex®
ULTRA pump tubing exceeds the industry’s requirements for a
flexible, clear, weldable and sealable pump tubing for fluid
processing applications. C-Flex® ULTRA has also consistently
outperformed every known competitor in extensive testing conducted
by independent organizations. Three particularly important
performance parameters stand out.

  • Pump life – C-Flex® ULTRA was still pumping after
    1,400 hours of continuous operation (at 600 rpms with 15 pounds of
    back pressure).
  • Spallation – C-Flex® ULTRA delivers lower spallation
    during the pumping process than any other TPE or silicone
    formulation.
  • Surface smoothness – While other TPE tubing is plagued
    with surface tackiness, C-Flex® ULTRA’s smooth outer surface
    does not gum up pump heads, reducing downtime for cleaning and
    resulting in far less wear and tear on these crucial pump
    components.

C-Flex® ULTRA complies with USP Class VI standards and is
manufactured by Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics under strict cGMP
guidelines. The tubing’s unique, patented TPE formula is
significantly less permeable than silicone, has low platelet
adhesion and protein binding characteristics, and provides
excellent clarity for easy viewing of fluid. It is BPA-free,
phthalate-free and animal derived component-free (ADCF);
non-pyrogenic and non-cyt
