Biopharmaceutical Tubing & Clamps
Biopharmaceutical manufacturing is critical in the rapidly evolving healthcare industry. Equipment manufacturers depend on high-quality materials to create systems and assemblies that meet the strict performance and testing requirements for single-use parts and assemblies. These critical components demand materials with excellent weldability, low extractables, good kink resistance, biocompatibility, chemical resistance, mechanical properties, and more.
Choosing the right materials for your biopharma components can result in reliable performance while improving production efficiencies, increasing product service life, and overcoming supply chain challenges. Avient provides traditional and sustainable polymer solutions for your system and, if needed, can develop a custom formulation to meet your specific needs.
Highlights
- Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) developed to handle the complexities of biopharma tubing and deliver comparable performance to competing materials such as silicone
- Bio-based TPE grade with 40% renewable content offers a more sustainable alternative to traditional materials
- Glass-filled polyketone (PK) formulations provide a nylon alternative with excellent chemical resistance and a lower carbon footprint
