TUBING
Pharma-Clear R®
Braided Silicone
Pharma-Clear R® platinum-cured-silicone braided hose perfect for pharmaceutical and bio-processing and is also commonly used for high-purity chemicals and food and beverage applications. Our proprietary polyester yarn inner braid was engineered to achieve higher pressures and maximum consistency when compared to other brands of braided silicone hose. The inner bore of Pharma-Clear R® is manufactured using the same compound as our PLTS-65 series tubing which can be valuable for those looking to minimize the number of process-contact materials.
