| Advantages | Excellent with purity. Handles high temps. Long, proven history in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Platinum cured is preferred. | Physical properties similar to silicone with chemical compatibility of PVC. Lower gas permeability than silicone. Moldable, sealable and weldable. | Outstanding peristaltic pump life. Natural in color to protect UV sensitive fluids. Very low gas permeability. | Completely inert fluid path. Rigidity stabilizes tubing and increases pressure ratings. Best at preventing absorption. |
| Physical Characteristics | Thermoset rubber. Good compression set. Soft and flexible material. Translucent to clear. | Thermoplastic elastomer. Excellent tensile and tear strength. Very low brittle temp. Soft material, opaque or clear. | Thermoplastic Elastomer. Good tensile strength. Usually comes natural in color. | Fluoropolymer based tubing. Translucent in color. Very rigid by design. |
