Conductive PFA-hose for more safety in pharmaceutical production

The design and operation of pharmaceutical plants are subject to the highest standards of safety and purity. The requirements for explosion-endangered areas in which flammable substances are handled are in particular very high. The danger comes from electrostatic charges. These charges can produce sparks that can lead to deflagrations or explosions.

The use of pharmaceutical hoses can also lead to electrostatic charges. Essential factors are the surface resistance of the hose, the conductivity of the medium and its flow velocity.

PolyFlow PTR OHM hoses from Dockweiler are especially developed for the use in explosion-endangered atmospheres. Special, electrically conductive materials in the polymer layers ensure that electrical charges are reliably dissipated.

In an independent test report, the company DEKRA EXAM GmbH investigated the electrostatic properties of PolyFlow hoses. The result is significant: PolyFlow PTR OHM hoses can be used without restriction in all explosion proof zones.

This PFA hose is the optimal problem solver for high demanding applications also due to the FDA and USP certification.
