MAZTECH, INC.
SmartShield™ Peristaltic Pump Tubing
The only PTFE-lined pump tube.
Maztech, Inc., developer and manufacturer of unique fluid handling
products, introduces a new peristaltic pump tube with universal
chemical resistance. SmartShield™ tubing provides a pure PTFE bore for
product contact and a resilient Santoprene™ elastomer cover for
unsurpassed durability, even at back pressures approaching 60 psig.
The PTFE core eliminates absorption of preservatives as well as
leaching of plasticizers into the process stream. The elastomeric cover
provides resilience for excellent flow rate stability and long flex life.
SmartShield™ tubing complies with FDA guidelines (21CFR177), and
has passed USP Class VI, cytotoxicity, and physicochemical testing at
an independent laboratory. SmartShield™ tubing also complies with
the latest bioprocess equipment (BPE) guidelines. A complete
validation guide is available upon request.

Fluoroelastomer Tubing
SmartShield™ tubing lasts 10 times longer than FKM tubing and
is unaffected by recirculating hydrocarbon fluid (Watson Marlow
313T running at 400 rpm with 6.4 mm ID by 2.4 mm wall tubes)
SmartShield™ tubing utilizes a pure PTFE bore that is bonded to a
Santoprene™ elastomer cover as show in the picture below. In
comparison testing with recirculating water and hydrocarbon fluid in
a Watson Marlow 313T pump, SmartShield™ tubing lasted six to ten
times longer than competitive fluoroelastomer tubing and was
unaffected with pumping hydrocarbon solvent. SmartShield™ tubing
is compatible with polar and non-polar organic solvents, chemical
intermediates, strong acids and bases, as well as particulate filled
solutions. The pure PTFE bore enables one to pump fluids that would
readily degrade competitive elastomer tubing. Fluid immersion
testing has demonstrated that SmartShield™ tubing prevents
solvents and other chemicals from attacking the elastomeric cover.
The PTFE bore also eliminates concerns about leaching which
would interfere with high purity applications.
Steam-in-place & Clean-in-place capability
The unique PTFE structure enables SmartShield™ tubing to
be steam-in-place sterilized at 30 psig saturated steam
pressure for biopharmaceutical and other sanitary
applications. The PTFE bore provides universal chemical
resistance which is resistant to all clean-in-place
solutions. SmartShield™ tubing can withstand significant
pressure compared to unreinforced tubing. The hydrostatic
burst pressure of SmartShield™ tubing ranges from 280 to
500 psig, as shown in the figure below.
Lowest Absorption Tubing
SmartShield™ tubing, equipped with hydraulically crimped
fittings, provides high pressure capability for peristaltic
pumping. Fittings are available in sanitary clamp type, cam &
groove, pipe thread, compression, and barb style in materials
such as stainless steel, PFA and PTFE. Other fittings are
available upon request. The unique PTFE structure of the bore
enables millions of flex cycles at elevated pressure. In typical
applications, SmartShield™ tubing can withstand more than
1,000 hours of continuous use, depending upon the pump
design and the tube dimensions.
SmartShield™ tubing also prevents the absorption and leaching
of chemicals either into or out of the tubing wall. In the case
of preservatives, such as methyl and propyl parabenes,
SmartShield™ tubing stands alone in preventing absorption due
to the PTFE liner, as illustrated in the chart below. Thus,
finished drugs retain their proper amount of preservative and
thus their integrity. Likewise, SmartShield™ tubing eliminates
leaching of plasticizers and process aids commonly found in
thermoplastic and thermoset elastomer tubing. TOC values are
dramatically reduced due to the PTFE liner. As a result,
SmartShield™ tubing affords the highest purity processing
available today.
