A new formulation of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) tubing has been developed for fluid transfer in the biopharmaceutical industry: AdvantaFlex.

AdvantaFlex addresses the need for a flexible, translucent, sterilizable, moldable, heat sealable, and weldable biopharmaceutical tubing for fluid processing. AdvantaFlex maintains its physical properties following sterilization processes, resists kinking, remains translucent for visible product flow, and does not become gummy. Additionally, the uniquemore
