GORE STA-PURE Pump Tubing ® Durable, resilient, chemically resistant tubing for peristaltic pump applications RELIABILITY WITH AGGRESSIVE CHEMICALS PRODUCT DESCRIPTION GORE® STA-PURE® Pump Tubing Series PFL enables reliable peristaltic pump operation in critical pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical processing applications that include aggressive chemicals. The unique, chemically inert composite of Series PFL increases its durability for greater security against catastrophic failure due to rupture or chemical attack. In addition, the patented structure of the composite enables consistent flow rates over extended production cycles up to 60 psig. Available in standard sizes, Series PFL withstands the rigors of clean-in-place and steam-in-place (CIP/SIP) processing, which helps simplify sterile fluid processing applications. TUBING STRUCTURE IN DETAIL Platinum-cured perfluoroelastomer ePTFE KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS Chemical Resistance • Provides better chemical compatibility than silicone and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) tubing • Performs reliably with common organic solvents • Minimizes incidence of premature rupture High Resilience • Helps maintain process stability • Delivers consistent flow rate Standard Sizes • Retrofits easily to commonly used peristaltic pumps Compatible with CIP/SIP and autoclave sterilization • Provides a flexible solution for industry-standard cleaning/sterilization procedures • Supports sterile fluid processing BIOCOMPATIBILITY GORE STA-PURE Pump Tubing Series PFL meets the following requirements*: Unlike conventional tubing, Series PFL is manufactured with a patented composite structure of platinum-cured perfluoroelastomer and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) for increased reliability with aggressive chemicals in peristaltic pumps.

GORE. STA-PURE. Pump Tubing series pfl PERFORMANCE DATA SUMMARY GORE STA-PURE Pump Tubing Series PFL was tested for durability in peristaltic pumps over a wide range of discharge pressures (see following table). Series PFL Tube Life at End of Testa Discharge Pressure (psig) Tube Life (hours) a. Continuous pumping of room temperature deionized water in Watson-Marlow 500 and 600 Series peristaltic pumps. The 500 Series pumps were used for testing at 60 psig with pump head speed of 220 rpm (two rollers). The 600 Series pumps were used for testing at 10 psig with pump head speed of 165 rpm...
