Advantages over Conventional Hose

Unlike silicone rubber lied hoses and tubing, Pharmalex can be steam sterilized any number of times, without degradation of the hose liner.
Pharmalex can used to replace conventional smoothbore PTFE lined hoses in applications where the much better flexibility of Pharmalex is an advantage.
Pharmalex can be used in low pressure, light duty applications in place of more expensive reinforced PTFE and Silicone hose designs.
