| Comparison
with Silicone Rubber Hose • Hygienic Clean Ability - much better, due to highly polished inner surface finish. • Chemical Resistance - considerable improved, particularly to strong oxidizing acids and bases. • Temperature & Pressure Ratings - much higher temperature and pressure capability. • Steam Resistance - permanently resistant to steam sterilizing (unlike silicone hose, which has a limited life). |
Comparison
with Convoluted PTFE Hose • Hygienic Clean Ability - vastly improved, due to smooth bore and hygienically polished inner surface. • Flow Rates - more than 100% higher. • Pressure Rates - more than 50% higher. • Gas Permeation Resistance - more than 150% higher. • Flex Life at Temperature and Pressure - more than 50 times the life, dependent upon conditions. |
