The World's first fully encapsulated, sanitary hose labelling system

Description The Puretag labelling system (patent pending) comprises a label or colour code on the inner braid, encapsulated by a transparent, platinum cured silicone or transparent EPDM rubber cover which is integrally vulcanised and fully bonded to the rubber cover on the hose without any adhesive. The encapsulation is flush with the external surface of the hose, to provide a streamlined design. Puretag labels and/or colour codes can be applied to all the Silicone Rubber and EPDM rubber covered Aflex Hose Products, including Pharmaline, Pharmalex, Bioflex SI or RC or FP Hose and Corroflon SI or FP Hose.

Puretag Advantages

• No 'Bulge' on the hose: The primary advantage over conventional rubber encapsulated labelling systems is that there is no bulge on the outside of the hose. Bulges on the hose can provide an obstruction when the hose is dragged against or through obstacles in application, and when the hose is externally cleaned.
• No Entrapment Zones: No crevices, and no unbonded opposing surfaces are present which could lead to entrapment zones on the external surface. Bond security tested by 100,000 cycles on a "Rolling-U" hose test machine.
• SIP, CIP and Autoclave Compatible: The Puretag system uses the same grade of Silicone or EPDM rubber as that used to form the hose cover. All the usual cleaning systems, usage conditions and approval ratings for the original hose are therefore unchanged.
• Customer Specific Information: Puretag labels can be colour coded, and apart from the usual data can also contain extra information as specified by the Customer, including Customer part numbers, Hose testing date requirements, Process Fluids Used, Hose Cleaning Systems and more.
• Label Replacement: The Puretag label or colour code can be removed and replaced with another if required, for example to update the label, or to change the colour code to indicate a change of use.
