RF-TPR
Thermoplastic Rubber Tubing
- Made of first-quality, polypropylenebased, thermoplastic rubber (RF-TPR)
- Outstanding compression characteristics and toughness for peristaltic pump uses
- Flexible to temperatures approaching –80°F
- Available in both FDA & industrial gradesNatural 80A material is listed by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF-51)*
Thermoplastic rubber combines the processability of plastics with the flexibility and durability of rubbers, while more light weight and formable.
RF-TPR offers excellent resistance to flex fatigue and tearing, making it an ideal choice for peristaltic pump applications.
The FDA material is suitable for a variety of clean uses and is autoclavable to ensure cleanliness.
RF-TPR is now offered in two grades to meet specific applications. FDA grade may be selected from two available durometers — 64A or 80 A — to meet specific user requirements.
Black industrial-grade 64A RF-TPR offers good resistance to U.V., ozone, chemicals, and other fluids. It is well suited for outdoor use, and handles applications where oil may splash onto the tubing.
*Other durometers with and NSF listing are available as a custom item (please call for details).
