PVDF Tubing

SaniSure PVDF tubing is a high purity fluoropolymer tubing solution designed for demanding process and fluid transfer applications. Manufactured from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), this PVDF tubing offers strong chemical resistance, good abrasion resistance, and low permeability, making it a practical option for pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, food processing, purified water, and fine chemical service.

Compared with more expensive fluoropolymer tubing options, SaniSure PVDF tubing provides a cost-effective balance of performance and durability for many high purity systems. The material is heat weldable and fusible, gamma/UV stable, and suitable for multiple sterilization methods, helping engineers and process teams integrate it into controlled and validated production environments.

The datasheet also highlights controlled-environment packaging and availability in both standard and custom sizes, supporting use in OEM builds, skids, pilot systems, and production-scale fluid paths. For regulated applications, documented compliance includes USP Class VI, ISO 10993, FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, REACH, and RoHS, with manufacturer statements supporting animal-derived ingredient free status and no known BSE/TSE sources.
