The pharmaceutical industry prefers stainless steel over plastic

We know that people can struggle to find tubing that can meet their needs. To make things easier for them, we manufacture a huge range. Our speciality is providing the best ERW steel tubes West Midlands can offer. We make them using high quality materials. Furthermore, we subject them to some of the strictest tests to ensure we are happy with them.

ERW steel tubes West MidlandsThe pharmaceutical industry has very specific demands for corrosion resistance and ultra purity. The cleaning processes and chemicals here create some harsh environments. As a result, the equipment in these applications must be able to endure them. They must be ready for both high temperatures and exposure to caustic chemicals.

Sanitary tubing is vital for a number of pharmaceutical processes. However, it is the material you use for them that will determine how well it performs.

Natural attributes

Stainless steel is a top material for sanitary tubing. This is due to its natural attributes. These make it durable enough for the environments you find here. Thanks to its corrosion resistance, you can expose the steel to solvents and corrosive chemicals many times. This could be sanitising agents or salt blood. It won’t suffer any damage.

There are some alternative materials you could choose here, like plastic. However, stainless steel does a far better job at enduring temperatures. This is while preserving its shape. The truth is that the softest of these steels are far stronger than the most robust plastics. If they require ERW steel tubes, West Midlands businesses can rely on us.

A sterile environment

For any piece of pharmaceutical equipment, preserving a sterile environment is a top priority. Stainless steel is able to reach a high level of sterility. Electropolishing helps here as it minimises how rough the surface is. What you get is a microscopically smooth exterior. Steel is a non-absorbent material as well. As a result, there is no danger of absorbing or spreading contaminants.

Sustainable

One more thing stainless steels have over other materials is sustainability. It is easy to recycle and reuse it. Sadly it can be harder to do that with polymers. Some are non-recyclable and take a very long time to break down. As for steel, you can re-smelt it and easily use it for other products.
