Saint-Gobain TYGON® 3370 I.B.

3370 I.B. Braid-Reinforced Silicone Hose biopharmaceutical products The smooth surface platinum-cured silicone hose designed for transferring high-purity fluid under pressure FeaturesBenefits Consistently smooth inner surface limits particle entrapment Platinum cured to minimize extractables Designed to Maintain Fluid Purity Under Pressure Braid reinforced for increased pressure resistance TYGON 3370 I.B. silicone hose is frequently specified in the most demanding applications requiring sanitary transfer of fluids. Its smooth inner surface reduces the risk of particle entrapment and inhibits excessive residue and microscopic bacterial build-up cleaning and sterilization cycles may become more effective as a result. Additionally an improvement in fluid flow characteristics may occur from the reduced surface area and lowered absorption of fluids to the wall. TYGON 3370 I.B. can easily withstand repeated SIP and CIP cleaning and sterilization cycles making it ideal for repeat-use applications. Its flexibility durability and chemical and temperature resistance provide a unique combination of characteristics required in many pharmaceutical biotechnology laboratory food beverage cosmetic environmental and industrial applications. Tough braid reinforcement permits use under elevated working pressures Withstands repeated CIP and SIP cleaning and sterilization Custom color striping available Typical Applications Sterile filling Media dispensing Vaccine manufacturing Lower Extractables and Exceptional Biocompatibility Bioreactor process lines TYGON 3370 I.B. silicone hose is produced from a platinum curing process to meet the most demanding requirements of biocompatibility. Water purification systems In-house extractability tests have shown that TYGON 3370 I.B. hose has a low extractable content. Lower extractables help to maintain the purity of transported fluids in sensitive applications. Diagnostic test product manufacturing TYGON 3370 I.B. hose complies fully w

ith the requirements of the USP Class VI Criteria and is entirely non-toxic non-hemolytic and non-pyrogenic. Continued monitoring of the hose also ensures minimal bioburden levels are maintained. TYGON 3370 I.B. hose also meets 3-A Sanitary Standard No. 18-01 and FDA 21 CFR Part 177.2600 criteria. TYGON 3370 I.B. silicone hose has a Master File with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The values listed for working and burst pressures are derived from tests conducted under controlled laboratory conditions. Many factors will reduce the hoses ability to withstand pressures including temperature chemical attack stress pulsation and the attachment to fittings. It is imperative that the user conduct tests simulating the conditions of the application prior to specifying the hose for use. TYGON 3370 I.B.
