FDA Compliant
Characteristics
- Flexibility...Compared with other non-PVC tubing, PST shows higher levels of flexibility. This greatly improves work efficiency, which allows you to put in a confined space. Also, the insertion to the fittings is easy.
- Duration...No crack or tear occurred after pumping for 1,000 hours (60 rotations per minute).
- Plasticizer-Free...PST does not contain plasticizer (an elution material) at all. E-PST is an oil-free tubing.
- Low Elution and Low Odor...Compared with a PVC hose, elution levels are low.
- Chemical Resistance...Since PST is made of styrene resin, it shows moderate chemical resistance.
- FDA Material...The raw material of PST is compliant with FDA 21 CFR.
- Positive List Compliance...The raw material of PST is compliant with the revised Food Sanitation Law (Positive List System [PL]).
- RoHS Compliant...PST is compliant with RoHS requirements (Directive: (EU) 2015/863). (RoHS Compliant means that PST does not contain RoHS 10 restricted substances or it does not exceed the upper threshold of RoHS 10 restricted substances.)
