Aflex maintains its promise to the pharmaceutical world Print E-mail

Over the past 25 years, Aflex has always strived to produce and supply a range of PTFE hose products to cope with the demands of the pharmaceutical and biotech worlds.

We pride ourselves on only supplying products designed for the application. We take pride in our engineering ability and always being at the cutting edge of hose design - never compromising our quality.

We listened to what the market wanted, and this culminated with the production of the World’s No.1 PTFE Hose... BIOFLEX!

Now, because Bioflex and its sister products Pharmalex and Pharmaline stand alone as the World’s best PTFE hoses, other manufacturers have seen fit to disguise their existing product ranges, with one manufacturer quite blatantly offering convoluted hose, as smoothbore. The latest development is for a cheap imitation of Bioflex to be introduced to the market. Here are four examples to illustrate the differences between Bioflex and the competition’s hoses.

Example 1 - The bore.

Bioflex moulded under
heat and pressure
F Type - machine cut
Result: Deception. F Type smooth until the hose is flexed.

 

 

Example 2 - Permeability.

Bioflex compressed and
hot formed PTFE.
F Type - Thin wall tube
after machine cut
Result: Bioflex 3 times better permeation resistance than F Type.

 

Example 3 - Flexibility.

Result: A steel bar can attain the bend radius of Bioflex
but are you strong enough? The amount of energy that is
required to bend F Type hose is 2 times that of Bioflex!

 

 

Example 4 - End Fittings.

Bioflex - a full range of
tried and tested full flare
through fittings.
F Type - Poor imitation, no vacuum
resistance and has no durability
this hose will fail!

 

Bioflex is an engineered, quality product and carries FDA, USP VI, CE, ISO 9001 accreditation. The pharmaceutical and biotech world encompasses quality, safety, reliability and integrity.

Why compromise? Use only the best!

Pharmaline

Pharmaline

Pharmaline is designed for use in high purity Pharmaceutical, Biotech, Chemical and Foodstuffs application areas where ease of cleaning the hose is required, both internal and external.

It is also very suitable for use in other general industrial applications, particularly those where hot fluids or gases are being passed, and if there is any risk of burns due to accidental touching of the hose - for example, hot oil or steam transfer applications.
