Animal Derived Ingredient Free

APSW Hose brochure PDF
Platinum-Cured; Polyester Mesh Fabric; Smooth or Convoluted O.D.

Low volatile grade, platinum-cured silicone hose for critical pharmaceutical, biopharm, cosmetic, and food applications comprises the liner of AdvantaSil® APSW. The liner is slipped onto a mandrel and wrapped with polyester mesh fabric, 302/304 stainless steel reinforcing wire and additional silicone. It is then cured into a homogeneous hose, enhancing its pressure and vacuum capabilities. AdvantaSil APSW has undergone extensive physical, chemical and biological testing and meets USP Class VI, FDA CFR 177.2600, ISO 10993 and European Pharmacopoeia 3.1.9 standards.

AdvantaSil APSW is not intended for implantation and is not to be used for continuous steam applications.

Key Features:
  • Available with a smooth O.D. or, for easier bending, convoluted O.D
  • Two construction styles offered: spiral wrapped for higher working pressures, an improved range of flexibility and availability in larger sizes, or standard linear wrapped (limited stock availability)
  • Low volatile grade silicone suitable for pharmaceutical, biopharm, cosmetic, and food applications such as ultrapure water transfer, food processing, washdown stations, skid systems, and other suction and discharge uses
  • Hardness value of 70 Shore A
  • Rated for full vacuum
  • Crush and kink resistant; durable and heavy-duty
  • AdvantaSil APSW has a Master File with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (#27582)
  • Linear wrapped style is listed by the National Sanitation Foundation for food equipment materials (NSF-51)
  • Liner certified free of animal-derived ingredients
  • General temperature range: -100°F (-73.3°C) to 350° F (176.6°C)
  • Resists temperature extremes, chemical attack, ozone, radiation, moisture and environmental exposure
  • Sterilizable by autoclave, CIP and SIP processes
  • Documented lot traceable with identification on packaging
  • Documented quality control per ISO 9001:2015
