Flexaust has introduced a new, clear and lightweight, static dissipative polyurethane hose that can replace heavier PVC and polyethylene conductive hoses in many fume and dust collection applications. Flexaust Flx-Thane® LD-SD Static Dissipative Polyurethane Hose is clear, highly flexible, and compressible, making it ideally suited for a wide range of dust collection and fume extraction applications.  Featuring the inherent abrasion resistance and superior tear strength of polyurethane, this lightweight hose is reinforced with a bronze coated spring wire helix. Manufactured from FDA approved materials, Flexaust Flx-Thane® LD-SD Static DissipativePolyurethane Hose is available in 2” to 12” I.D. sizes with wall thickness of .020” (2” is .015”) and standard 25 ft. lengths.  Providing 108 x 1010 Ohms/Sq. surface resistivity, it operates over a -65°F to 225°F range.  A 4” dia. hose has a 3.75” bend radius and 4:1 compression ratio. Flexaust Flx-Thane® LD-SD Static Dissipative Polyurethane Hose is priced according to size and quantity.  Samples and pricing offered upon request. (Please see Flexaust Blog Post...

Dalatec has seen many new requirements from hospitals and pharmacies that need cleanroom consumables, wipers, swabs, mops and disinfectants for their required sterile environments. The United States  Pharmaccpeida (USP) has developed standards for compounding in sterile environments. These standards help compounding practitioners adhere to widely acknowledged, scientifically sound procedures and practices, and facilitate the delivery of consistent and good-quality prepared medicines to patients. State Boards of Pharmacy may adopt these USP standards into their regulations. The objective of USP <797> is to describe conditions and practices to prevent harm, including death, to patients that could result from: Microbial contamination,Excessive bacterial endotoxins,Variability in the intended strength of ingredients,Chemical and physical contaminants,Incorrect type or quality of ingredients in Compounded Sterile Preparations (CSPs). USP <797> provides practice and quality standards for all persons who prepare CSP drugs and nutrients and all places they are prepared. They require that the preparation of CSPs occur in...

 ITW Texwipe is a manufacturer of cleanroom consumable products, which are used in the environment which one addresses the levels of potential contamination's and respective contaminants when working in bio medical, pharmaceutical or microelectronics. (please see attached Texwipe Solutions Brochure) Since there has been much recent news about viruses and bacteria contamination, especially Ebola,  we thought it would be timely and of interest to relate the types of cleanroom products and how they address "disinfecting".  Disinfection reduces the number of viable microorganisms.  When instruments are used inside the body, the disinfectant is not enough, the instruments should be sterilized.  Sterilization kills viable microorganisms. For the sterilization of the instruments (like surgical instruments) sterilants are used.   The sterilants are the high concentration of Hydrogen peroxide solutions (35%) and Aldehides (like formaldehyde).  These solutions are not used for the surface disinfection because they are very corrosive and toxic for people.  The instruments are...

Two years ago, Trelleborg Sealing Solutions purchased a liquid silicone company headquartered in Switzerland, which provided silicone extrusion and silicone molding, all in a clean room facility. The facility in Stein am Rhein, Switzerland and another in Northborough, Mass., allows the company to manufacture and design two-part Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) devices and components for the medical, biotech, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage industries. Liquid silicone rubber is best suited to life science applications because it features matchless inertness and bio compatibility, which should be considered when factoring in potential bacteria growth and alleviating contamination. Silicone rubber is compatible with human beings and its mechanical properties are highly suitable for dynamic applications where accuracy, consistency and longevity are required. Features and benefits: Facilities: LSR Center of Excellence in SwitzerlandGlobal LSR manufacturing footprint in Europe, North America and ChinaISO 13485, ISO9001 and ISO 14001 certifiedProduct design centers globallyState-of-the-art cleanroomsIS 8 (Class 100,000)...
