Acid hose Imaweld®

for high-purity fluidsTPEpolyester

Product overview
Imaweld® TPE Braided Tubing is a braided thermoplastic elastomer tube developed for biopharmaceutical and medical fluid transfer applications where a reinforced tube is required to meet higher pressure or improved burst performance compared with non-reinforced thermoplastic tubing. Manufactured and packaged in an ISO Class 7 cleanroom using an animal-derived-component-free (ADCF) formulation, the tubing incorporates a polyester braid for mechanical reinforcement and controlled expansion.
