EcoFlex - sustainable biopharma grade TPE tubing
EcoFlex™ is biopharmaceutical grade translucent thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) single-use tubing, engineered to support sustainable (bio)pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Based on the proven formulation of AdvantaPure’s flagship AdvantaFlex® APAF TPE tubing, EcoFlex delivers the same trusted performance, flexibility, and durability required for critical single-use processes. A sealable and weldable product, EcoFlex is suited to a wide range of applications, like (bio)pharmaceutical production, sampling, cell media, harvesting, fermentation, buffer and media preparation, and filtration.
By replacing a traditional fossil-based oil with a bio-based oil in the polymer formulation, EcoFlex enhances product sustainability while maintaining the consistent performance, quality, and reliability demanded in regulated environments.
Product benefits
For current TPE tubing users, EcoFlex provides a more sustainable product providing a reduction of product carbon footprint by approximately 15% (compared to AdvantaFlex APAF) with no changes to form, fit, function, manufacturing process, specifications, or regulatory testing compliance.
Furthermore, you enjoy the benefits of regular TPE tubing:
- Sterile weldable and heat sealable
- Low permeability, low absorption, and good chemical resistance (compared to silicone)
- Translucent for fluid flow visibility
- Smooth interior for excellent flow and performance
- Wide range of standard sizes from 0.125” (3.175 mm) through 1” (25.4 mm) I.D.
- Available as leak-proof overmolded connections and tubing
