Peristaltic Pump - Chem-SureŽ Peristaltic Pump Tubing |
 |
Longest Lasting
Tubing
Under transfer
conditions, CHEM-SUREŽ Peristaltic Pump Tubes operate over
50 times longer than any other fluoroelastomer tubing. They
last for thousands of hours pumping aggressive chemicals
that often attack other tubing materials. This level of
durability greatly reduces the risk of unexpected tube
rupture, which means fewer shutdowns to replace tubing plus
significant increases in productivity.

Ideal tubing for
aggressive chemicals
With excellent chemical resistance, CHEM-SUREŽ pump tubes
handle nearly all aggressive chemicals, including organic
solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone, toluene, and acetone.
For years, users have known that peristaltic pumps provide a
unique combination of superior metering accuracy and low
maintenance. Users can now realize these benefits in
solvent-based processing applications.
Burst resistance
The structure of CHEM-SUREŽ peristaltic pump tube provides
superior burst resistance compared to conventional
unreinforced extruded tubing. There is less worry about the
environmental and safety risk of unexpected tube rupture in
high-pressure filtration, transfer, and chemical addition
operations in the pharmaceutical and specialty chemical
industries.

Unique
Structure
The unique composite structure of CHEM-SUREŽ
Peristaltic Pump Tubes provide superior burst
resistance compared to conventional unreinforced
extruded tubing. There's less worry about the
environmental and safety risk of unexpected tube
rupture in high pressure filtration, transfer, and
chemical addition operations. That's why these new
tubes are an excellent choice for very demanding
applications in the pharmaceutical and specialty
chemical industries.

Lowest Solvent
Swell
Manufacturers recommend tubes that have less than
10% volume swell for acceptable operation in
peristaltic pumps in chemical service. While other
fluoroelastomer tubing will swell over 300% when
subjected to solvents such as acetone, methyl ethyl
ketone and tetrahydrofuran, ASTM D471-95 immersion
tests show that CHEM-SUREŽ tubes experience
negligible swelling in a wide range of solvents. |

Swelling tests
clearly show that
CHEM-SUREŽ tubes are superior to other
fluoroelastomer tubing.
