Medical device manufacturing tubing Imavac®

siliconestainless steelspiral

Overview
Imavac® is a platinum‑cured silicone hose reinforced with SS 316L helical wire. It provides improved transparency for flow visualization, good kink resistance and is engineered for material transfer under high vacuum in pharmaceutical and food processing environments. Imavac® outperforms Imafit® (polyester braided hose) for high pressure and high vacuum ratings and is available with antistatic properties for charge dissipation.
