GORE™ High-Resilience Tubing Style 100 CR


Technical Information

THE LONGEST LASTING, MOST CHEMICAL-RESISTANT PERISTALTIC PUMP TUBE
Burst Resistance

The structure of GORE™ High-Resilience Tubing Style 100 CR provides superior burst resistance compared to conventional unreinforced extruded tubing. There is less worry about the environmental and safety risk of unexpected tube rupture in high-pressure filtration, transfer, and chemical addition operations in the pharmaceutical and specialty chemical industries.

Ideal tubing for aggressive chemicals

With excellent chemical resistance, GORE™ High-Resilience Tubing Style 100 CR handles nearly all aggressive chemicals, including organic solvents such as methyl, ethyl, ketone, toluene, and acetone. For years, users have known that peristaltic pumps provide a unique combination of benefits: superior metering accuracy and low maintenance. Users can now realize these benefits in solvent-based processing applications.

GORE™ High-Resilience Tubing Style 100 CR far outlasts other fluoroelastomer tubing when pumping aggressive chemicals (600 RPM, 3mm tube bore).

Lowest solvent swell

Manufacturers recommend tubes that have less than 10% volume swell for acceptable operation in peristaltic pumps in chemical service. While other fluoroelastomer tubing will swell over 300% when subjected to solvents, ASTM D471-95 immersion tests show that these pump tubes experience negligible swelling in a wide range of solvents.

Swelling tests clearly show that GORE™ High-Resilience Tubing Style 100 CR is superior to other fluoroelastomer tubing (all immersion tests performed at room temperature for 170 hours).


High purity reduces contamination
GORE™ High-Resilience Tubing Style 100 CR is among the cleanest available because they it is free from plasticizers, acid acceptors, and other processing aids found in competitive products.
