Pharmaprene® is designed as an alternative material to Santoprene®. It exhibits many similar visible properties to Santoprene®. Its characteristics include excellent chemical resistance to fluids such as alcohols, ozone, aqueous systems and corrosive aqueous systems. Furthermore, Pharmaprene® exhibits good flow consistency for peristaltic pump applications. It performs well under vacuum conditions.
Pharmaprene is tough tubing, showing good anti-ageing properties in harsh weather, sunshine and saline applications. Its operational temperature range is wide, and it exhibits excellent environmental stability under changing temperatures. It is ideal for use in peristaltic pump systems as a direct replacement for Santoprene®.
It is free of latex and any substances of animal origin, fully RoHS compliant, and the material contains no Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) as classified by the REACH environmental regulation.
Santoprene® is a proprietary thermoplastic elastomer developed by ExxonMobil Corporation.
