TUBING
Pharma-Line™ I
TPV Tubing
Pharma-Line™ I tubing was developed to be compatible with all major brands of peristaltic pumps. It is manufactured exclusively in the USA from a bio-compatible thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) material and extruded to precise dimensional tolerances. Pharma-Line™ I provides an excellent alternative to silicone tubing when resistance to chemicals (such as acetone or methylene chloride) is a concern and generally has a much longer pump life than silicone.
