Pharmaline Hoses -
(Also See
Pharmalex) |
|
|
|
 |
Pharmaline is a unique,
smoothbore PTFE-Lined hose product, based on a patented PTFE
hose liner tube design. Pharmaline is designed to overcome
the primary disadvantage of currently available similar
products, namely POOR FLEXIBILITY.
Although excellent flexibility is often claimed for
comparable products, the truth is that they are all
considerably less flexible than Pharmaline, particularly in
large bore sizes. |
|
|
|
For example, the force required to bend a length of 1" bore
Pharmaline hose to a 10" (250mm) Bend Radius in a U-shape is
77% less than that for its nearest rival product! - 1.8lb
(0.82kg) instead of 7.8lb (3.56kg). Pharmaline also has the
smallest minimum bend radius. |
