Phthalate-Free Tubing
New from plastic tubing manufacturer NewAge Industries is Clearflo 70 PVC tubing, a phthalate-free product. Clearflo 70 was developed in response to customers’ interest in fluid transfer products that do not contain leachable phthalates such as DEHP (Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate) or BPA (bisphenol A). Some studies indicate that phthalates – chemicals used to make certain plastic materials more flexible and easier to process – may have a negative health impact.

“Our customers want to use the safest possible tubing in their processes,” stated Gregg Donovan, Product Marketing Manager. “Removing the threat of a potential health hazard on our end removes the worry from our customers and lets them focus on their products.”

Additional features of the tubing include: the finished tubing meets USP Class VI requirements; it is made from non-toxic ingredients conforming to FDA standards; it is NSF-51 (National Sanitation Foundation) listed for use with food equipment materials; it has glass-like clarity that allows users view fluid flow; it has smooth surfaces for outstanding flow and is flexible, light weight and abrasion resistance

NewAge stocks Clearflo 70 in fifty sizes ranging from 1/16” through 2” I.D.; larger sizes are available. The company also offers braid reinforced PVC hose for higher pressure usage, as well as fitting and clamps for attachment.
