APHP: High Pressure Unreinforced Silicone Tubing

Translucent, Platinum-Cured

high pressure burst test AdvantaSil® APHP is a platinum-cured silicone specifically engineered to meet critical pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical high-pressure applications. Designed for high-volume fluid transfer, APHP stands out as the preferred material due to its higher durometer, providing superior pressure ratings compared to standard unreinforced tubing.

Its translucence allows for clear visibility of fluid flow making it an excellent choice for precise and efficient operations. APHP is rigorously validated, qualified, manufactured, and released under the most stringent product validation protocols, ensuring the highest quality and reliability for high-pressure, high-volume fluid transfer applications.

KEY FEATURES

Full BPOG standardized extractables test results available on request

ATTENTION:

Specific cutting techniques are strongly recommended for AdvantaSil APHP High Pressure Silicone Tubing. APHP must be cut with a chevron style cutter at a 90 degree angle to the tubing, leaving a smooth, non-jagged, perpendicular cut at the tubing end.
