In 1998, Aflex Hose fulfilled the most stringent demand yet.  Customers, worldwide, had always asked for the ultimate PTFE lined flexible hose.... one product which incorporates the advantages of both convoluted and smoothbore designs.  A product which is sufficiently flexible, like convoluted, yet which retains the advantages offered by smoothbore, like fast flow rate and cleanability.

After years of painstaking research and development, Aflex launched such a hose ...  Bioflex.

Bioflex is a smoothbore, highly flexible, PTFE lined hose.  Its design overcomes the disadvantages of conventional smoothbore and convoluted PTFE flexible hose designs, dramatically improving on many of their individual technical performance parameters.

The key feature of Bioflex PTFE hose is the PTFE liner design, which comprises integral rib sections which support the tube against kinking, vacuum and pressure, and highly compressed web sections which gives a smoothbore inner surface and excellent flexibility.

Another feature is the integral PTFE lined and flared end fitting design which is available for all standard end fittings on Bioflex Hose Assemblies.  This provides clean, full bore flow through the end fitting without any entrapment points - unlike conventional fittings, which introduce a bore restriction, also a crevice at the end of the fitting tail.  This PTFE lining also protects the end fitting from any corrosive media passing through the hose bore.

Today, Bioflex has become the established standard in process fluids applications all over the world and continues to be introduced into new application every day.
