For Prominent Biotech Company, TekniPlex Healthcare’s Custom Weldable TPE Tubing Development Helps Reduce Risk & Meet Sustainability Goals

Meeting Sustainability Goals, While Reducing Risk

A prominent biotech company was experiencing significantly longer lead times for its weldable TPE tubing products, as well as for certain assemblies that contain this type of tubing. In seeking a solution, the company evaluated the technical requirements for its tubing, and determined none of the current products on the market met its exact needs: low overall extractable profile that offered low particulate generation during peristaltic pumping, as well as assurance the final product didn’t contain certain targeted extractables. The company approached TekniPlex Healthcare seeking a weldable TPE tube solution equivalent to those currently utilized in its applications. TekniPlex Healthcare was able to develop, test and ultimately provide a unique compound that was flexible and supplier agnostic, had the ability to reduce application risk in certain sensitive process areas, and reduced supply chain risk, lead times, and carbon footprint.
