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.

 

In addition to being phthalate-free, features of Clearflo 70 tubing include:

  • The finished tubing meets USP Class VI requirements
  • Made from non-toxic ingredients conforming to FDA standards
  • NSF-51 (National Sanitation Foundation) listed for use with food equipment materials
  • Glass-like clarity lets users view fluid flow
  • Smooth surfaces for outstanding flow
  • Flexibility with lightweight and abrasion resistance
  • Handles a variety of chemicals, gases, and liquids

 

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.
