HF Silicone Steam Valve

The GORE™ HF Steam Valve is an innovation in Gore's  line of single-use bio-process assemblies. The GORE™ HF Steam Valve is a single-use, silicone flow control valve for aseptic processing. The unique design is the first valve that incorporates a high-purity elastomer valve body to maintain a single, primary contact surface, but still creating a positive flow control with complete shut-off. By incorporating Platinum-Cured Silicone as the primary contact surface, barbs can be eliminated decreasing the possibility of sterility failures or contamination.

Use the GORE™ HF Steam Valve in any high-purity liquid operation which implements partial or total disposable bio-processing components. Applications include sampling, sterile transfers, tank connections, additions, and general product storage. Gore's seamless molding technology is combined with high-purity, single-use materials to create a validatable, sterile barrier.
