SantopreneŽ is a proprietary type of thermoplastic rubber elastomer,
manufactured by Advanced Elastomer Systems L.P.
SantopreneŽ is a polyolefinic material, produced by a proprietary dynamic
vulcanisation which produces rubber particles dispersed throughout a
continuous matrix of thermoplastic. The average rubber particle size is 1uM
or less, which results in favourable properties allowing easy and consistent
processing.
This material combines the performance characteristics of vulcanised rubber
and the processing ease of thermoplastics.
|
SantopreneŽ has properties that make it very tolerant of temperatures,
chemicals and environmental abrasion.
SantopreneŽ is available in a range of hardnesses. The most popular hardness
grade for small-bore peristaltic pump use is 64 Shore A. This gives the best
combination of easy occlusion and good material recovery for effective long-life
pumping. Other grades are available for alternative applications.
Medical grades of SantopreneŽ have a DMF file lodged with the US FDA, and
are approved to USP Class VI Part XXIII.
