Innovative Silicone Tubing for increased application pressure in (bio-)pharma tubing

RAUMEDIC AG, a leading developer of custom polymer solutions for medical and pharmaceutical technology, has expanded its portfolio in the field of (bio-)pharmaceutical transfer tubing: With the new SILMOTION®-H series, the company now offers a pre-validated standard product for applications with increased operating pressure. The innovative tubing is made of Pharma Grade silicone and impresses with an increased Shore hardness of 80 Shore A.

  • New transfer tubing fills important gap in RAUMEDIC's standard portfolio for pharma fluid handling (PFH)
  • Shore hardness 80 Shore A: SILMOTION®-H combines the advantages of high-quality silicone tubing with the possibilities of application at increased operating pressures
  • Safe and quick to use: pre-validated series guarantees standards and regulatory requirements of the demanding industry

 

SILMOTION®-H is a high-quality transfer tubing developed for the special requirements of biopharma fluid handling (PFH). With this new portfolio segment, RAUMEDIC AG relies on the usual advantages of the SILMOTION-T series and expands it with the possibility of use at increased operating pressures.

RAUMEDIC AG now offers the innovative tubing as a pre-validated, standardized product that meets the high requirements of (bio-)pharma tubing and is always quickly available.

RAUMEDIC relies on Pharma Grade Silicone

In the new SILMOTION®-H series, the Bavarian polymer specialist relies on a highly pure silicone material with an excellent extractables profile. Despite the higher Shore hardness, the material has the decisive quality features of the popular SILMOTION®-T transfer tubing. For example, the new series impresses with its excellent biocompatibility, chemical inertness, temperature resistance, and durability. In addition, RAUMEDIC silicone tubing offers a variety of sterilization options.

This makes the new transfer tubing extremely versatile in the pharmaceutical production process and a real alternative to fabric-reinforced tubing for PFH.

Quick to use thanks to pre-validation

For the SILMOTION®-H series, RAUMEDIC AG, as usual for its standard portfolios, provides a so-called validation and extractables guide, which is available to the company's customers free of charge. With the help of this document, users can quickly and easily validate the new transfer tubing for individual use. In this process, RAUMEDIC's reliable customer support offers additional assistance under the motto 'easy to work with'.

Importantly, users receive the extensive and transparent documentation required for high-quality biopharma tubing with SILMOTION®-H.

Of course, SILMOTION®-H meets all industry-standard requirements such as:

  • Manufacturing in ISO Class 7 cleanroom
  • Quality management according to ISO13485
  • Use of medical grade raw materials
  • Batch-specific outgoing goods inspections for quality control
  • Provision of validation and extractables guides with detailed information on the chemical and physical properties of the material, etc.

SILMOTION®-H is available in numerous dimensions in stock. Thus, small and large quantities can be quickly retrieved at any time. In addition, the RAUMEDIC team is happy to realize customer-specific dimensions and tailor-made special solutions upon request.

Markus Wünsch, Product Engineer Compounds and Extrusion at RAUMEDIC, explains: 

"SILMOTION®-H is a technically and commercially convincing alternative to fabric-reinforced tubing, which is particularly suitable for use in applications with increased operating pressure. We are pleased that we were able to specifically expand our portfolio with SILMOTION®-H. Our customers now benefit from a standardized product with a comprehensive database in the 80 Shore A range. Furthermore, RAUMEDIC impresses with very reliable and straightforward customer support, which significantly reduces the validation effort on the customer side."
