One step ahead of other silicone tubing
Patented & unique: Low Tack Surface
RAUMEDIC's SILMOTION biopharma silicone tubing features the patented Low Tack surface treatment.
After the tubing has been extruded, a unique coating is applied to the exterior surface of the SIL fluid handling tubing by a specialized Low Tack method.
4 ways customers benefit from RAUMEDIC's patented Low Tack surface treatment:
- Lower gliding force
- Reduced strain at the point of contact with the pump.
- Increased lifespan of tubing due to reduced wear and decreased material abrasion
- Better sliding properties than untreated pharma tubing
- Less sticky surface - ideal for secondary processing, assembly and packaging.
- Decreased adhesion of particles on the tubing’s surface
- Significant reduction of possible impurities
- Printable tubing – unlike other common silicone tubing in the market
- Cleaner and safer than roller printing – or other methods
