APSW: 4-Ply Wire-Reinforced Mandrel-Wrapped Silicone Hose
Low volatile grade, platinum-cured silicone hose for critical pharmaceutical, biomedical, cosmetic, and food applications comprises the liner of APSW. The liner is then slipped onto a mandrel and wrapped with polyester mesh fabric, 316 stainless steel reinforcing wire, and additional silicone. It is cured into a homogeneous hose to enhance its pressure and vacuum capabilities. APSW has undergone extensive physical, chemical, and biological testing and meets USP Class VI, FDA CFR 177.2600, ISO 1099 and European Pharmacopoeia 3.1.9 standards.
APSW is not intended for implantation and is not to be used for continuous steam applications.
