CHEM-SURE^TM Peristaltic Pump Tubing Technical Data

Burst resistance

The structure of CHEM-SURE^TM peristaltic pump tube provides superior burst resistance compared to conventional unreinforced extruded tubing. There is less worry about the environmental and safety risk of unexpected tube rupture in high-pressure filtration, transfer, and chemical addition operations in the pharmaceutical and specialty chemical industries.

Ideal tubing for aggressive chemicals

With excellent chemical resistance, CHEM-SURE pump tubes handle nearly all aggressive chemicals, including organic solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone, toluene, and acetone. For years, users have known that peristaltic pumps provide a unique combination of superior metering accuracy and low maintenance. Users can now realize these benefits in solvent-based processing applications..

CHEM-SURE peristaltic pump tubes far outlast other fluoroelastomer tubing when pumping aggressive chemicals (600 RPM, 1/8" tube bore).

Lowest solvent swell

Manufacturers recommend tubes that have less than 10 percent volume swell for acceptable operation in peristaltic pumps in chemical service. While other fluoroelastomer tubing will swell more than 300 percent when subjected to solvents, ASTM D471-95 immersion tests show that these pump tubes experience negligible swelling in a wide range of solvents.

Swelling tests clearly show that CHEM-SURE peristaltic pump tubes are superior to other fluoroelastomer tubing (all immersion tests performed at room temperature for 170 hours).

High purity reduces contamination

CHEM-SURE tubes are among the cleanest available because they are free from plasticizers, acid acceptors, and other processing aids found in competitive products.
