Multilayer fluoropolymer elastomer coextrusion: Saint GobainRecent Research Landscape

Standard peristaltic tubing fails under harsh chemical exposure and high-speed mechanical stress, leading to fluid contamination and frequent downtime. This technology engineers specific refractive-indexed inner layers and polyolefin-silicone blends to ensure chemical resistance and structural integrity during high-speed pumping.

What technical problems is Saint Gobain addressing in Multilayer fluoropolymer elastomer coextrusion?

Peristaltic pump tube fatigue

(5)evidences

Mechanical fatigue and chemical erosion of elastomer tubing during high-speed pumping operations. Preventing premature material failure extends operational lifespan and maintains fluid purity.

Chemical permeation and degradation

(3)evidences

Incompatible polymer layers in multi-material tubes lead to structural separation and loss of barrier integrity. Preventing these failures ensures containment of volatile substances like fragrances and corrosive chemicals.
