NewAge Industries’ Suprene® thermoplastic rubber (TPR) tubing is manufactured in the U.S. in two grades: FDA and industrial. NewAge manufactures Suprene in two grades to meet various application requirements. FDA grade is a natural tan color and suitable for most clean needs, such as food and beverage or pharmaceuticals and is autoclavable to ensure cleanliness.
The tubing’s applications include food and beverage transfer, flavor and additive dispensing, fluid transfer in appliances, chemical lines, pharmaceutical processing, agriculture and lawn equipment, ink transfer, and paint spray systems.
The Suprene TPR tubing is flexible and durable like rubber but typically lighter weight and more formable. It provides excellent resistance to flex fatigue and tearing and offers a wide range of temperature use (from -76°F to 275°F). As with many TPRs it exhibits good compression characteristics and may be used as peristaltic pump tubing.
Black-colored industrial grade SUPRENE offers good resistance to U.V. radiation, ozone, chemicals and other fluids. It will also handle applications where oil may splash onto the tubing and is well suited for outdoor use.
