Bioflex in Comparison with Convoluted PTFE Hose |
|
|
- Hygienic Cleanability - much better, due to no internal convolutions.
- Flow Rates - more than 2x higher.
- Pressure Ratings - more than 1.5x higher.
- Gas Permeation Resistance - more than 3x better.
- Self Draining - 100% self draining when at an angle (The Internal Convolutions in Convoluted Hose retain fluid).
Bioflex in Comparison with Conventional Smoothbore FEP, PFA or PTFE Lined Rubber Hose
- No Adhesives - No toxic adhesives used in the Bioflex construction, eliminating the possibilities of Process Fluid contamination in service.
- Flexibility - Much better flexibility, particularly sizes 1" and above.
Bioflex in Comparison with Silicone Rubber Hose
- Hygienic Cleanability - much better, due to the non-stick PTFE liner.
- Chemical Resistance - considerably improved, particularly to strong oxidising acids and bases.
- Temperature & Pressure Ratings - much higher temperature and pressure capability.
- Steam Resistance - permanently resistant to steam sterilising (unlike silicone hose, which has a limited life).
