ULTRAPURA: a unique hose designed for filling machines in the pharmaceutical industry

Designed with the aim of solving the issues of transparency and chemical resistance for filling machines in aseptic environment

In fact, the contact material of the medium is a PFA (Perfluoroalcoxy) liner, which offers all the advantages of a perfluoropolymer material such as chemical and temperature resistance, impermeability and mirror like finishing of the contact surface. Thanks to these features, the drug is transferred in an easy and safe way through the hose regardless of the chemical composition and viscosity of the medium.

Unlike other materials, PFA is extremely compact and chemically inert. Even in the most critical applications, there is no risk of alteration of the medium conveyed: the impermeability of the material excludes the possibility of extractions or leachable, avoiding any risk of cross-contamination and maintaining the purity of the fluid.

Ultrapura is the result of the combination of two materials that are very different in composition: the virgin PFA, non-pigmented, and the transparent platinum cured silicone, joined by a surface treatment of the tubing specifically developed for this product. The result is a flexible and completely transparent hose design complying with the USP class VI Standards. The entire manufacturing process of the hose (including extrusion and surface treatment of the PFA tubing, as well as the production of silicone semi-finished products) is totally carried out in the MTG cleanroom, ensuring that purity and biocompatibility of materials remain constant and repeatable over time.
