Pharmaceutical-grade silicone tubing is made from high-purity medical-grade silicone rubber raw materials using a platinum vulcanization process, featuring extremely low extractables and leachables, smooth walls without pores, and no odor or residue.

 

Product Structure

 

 

Main Material: High-purity medical-grade vapor-phase silicone rubber, deeply purified with metal ion content below the detection limit, and free of harmful substances such as plasticizers.

Process Characteristics: Platinum-cured technology ensures uniform molecular cross-linking, eliminating residual peroxides; the inner wall is smooth and dense, minimizing the risk of drug adsorption and contamination.

 

 
 
Product Advantages
01.

Ultra-high Purity and Safety

Raw materials undergo three-stage vacuum distillation purification and are tested via ICP-MS, resulting in extremely low extractables and leachables with no harmful substance release, eliminating pharmaceutical contamination at the source.

02.

Excellent chemical resistance

Resistant to common pharmaceutical reagents such as hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, and ethanol, maintaining stability within specified concentration and temperature ranges without swelling or cracking.

03.

Low adsorption and low loss

Smooth and dense tube walls minimize adsorption of drug active ingredients and proteins, reducing material loss and ensuring precise drug component ratios.

04.

High-temperature and high-pressure resistance

Withstands 135°C high-temperature steam sterilization and pressures above 10 bar, meeting SIP process requirements, with stable performance after multiple sterilizations.

 

Product applications
 

API transportation

Used in the production of antibiotics, vitamins, etc., for transporting reaction solutions and solvents, resistant to acids, alkalis, and organic solvents, without affecting drug purity.

Formulation production

Used in the production of injectables and oral liquids to transfer pharmaceutical solutions. Its low adsorption reduces active ingredient loss, ensuring stable pharmaceutical quality.

Biopharmaceuticals

Suitable for vaccine and monoclonal antibody production, meeting sterile, pyrogen-free, and low endotoxin requirements. It is applicable for the transportation of cell culture media and fermentation liquids.

Pharmaceutical Equipment Accessories

Used as connecting tubing for freeze dryers, chromatography columns, and solution preparation systems, compatible with CIP/SIP processes, providing reliable fluid pathways.

FAQ

 

Q: 1.How does the pharmaceutical process silicone hose ensure that it will not contaminate drugs?

A: The product uses high-purity raw materials, which are deeply purified and processed by special techniques, resulting in extremely low extractables and leachables. Production is completed in a clean workshop and passes multiple strict tests, such as extractable tests to ensure no harmful substances are released, ensuring drug safety from raw materials to production.

Q: 2.Can the pharmaceutical process silicone hose withstand in-line sterilization of pharmaceutical equipment?

A: environments, endure multiple SIP cycles, and their physical and chemical properties will not change significantly, meeting the sterilization requirements of pharmaceutical equipment.

Q: 3.Is there a difference in the selection of silicone hoses for pharmaceutical processes in the production of different drug formulations?

A: Yes, there is. Injection production has extremely high requirements on endotoxins and pyrogens of silicone hoses; oral liquid production pays more attention to whether there is residual odor; biopharmaceuticals emphasize low adsorption and anti-protein adhesion. It is necessary to select silicone hoses with corresponding properties according to specific formulation requirements.

Q: 4.What is the core difference between pharmaceutical process silicone hoses and ordinary industrial silicone hoses?

A: The core difference lies in purity and compliance: pharmaceutical process silicone hoses use medical-grade raw materials, undergo deep purification and production in clean workshops, pass special tests such as endotoxin and pyrogen tests, and meet pharmaceutical standards such as USP Class VI; ordinary industrial silicone hoses may contain impurities or residues and cannot meet drug safety requirements.

Q: 5.Why is it necessary to choose a special anti-protein coated silicone hose in biopharmaceuticals?

A: Active ingredients such as proteins and vaccines in biopharmaceuticals are easily adsorbed on the inner wall of silicone hoses, leading to material loss or reduced efficacy; the special anti-protein coating can form an inert barrier, significantly reducing the adsorption rate , ensuring the concentration and activity of biological products.

Q: 6.How to verify whether the quality of the pharmaceutical process silicone hose meets the standard?

A: You can ask the manufacturer to provide: ① Raw material purity report ; ② Extractables and leachables test report; ③ Endotoxin and pyrogen test report; ④ USP Class VI or ISO 10993 certification documents. If necessary, a third-party agency can be entrusted to conduct sampling re-inspection to ensure compliance with pharmaceutical-grade standards.
