C-Flex® Celebrates Its 30th Anniversary

Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics, C-Flex^® product family is proudly celebrating 30 years of improving daily life for those we serve through its use in the bioprocessing industry.

C-Flex^® tubing became a part of the Saint-Gobain family of companies in 2007. "We are proud to celebrate 30 years of quality, product, consistency, excellent customer service, and the ability to continue to serve you with a reliable product for three decades." said Paula Martinelli, C-Flex^® Product Manager.

More than 30 years ago, the original C-Flex^® TPE tubing formulation was first developed and since then, C-Flex has been the thermoplastic elastomer tubing most widely used and validated by the world,s leading pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies. Today, there are more than 40 C-Flex formulations in production, created to meet the critical demands of the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes.

The material science behind the patented C-Flex^® formulations allows the tubing to be heat-sealed and sterile welded. Additionally, the material can be molded into integrated manifolds and single-use assemblies, creating a single fluid contact layer.

Saint-Gobain has expanded its C-Flex^® manufacturing footprint, producing product in Clearwater, Florida and Charny, France, allowing us to service customers globally while ensuring a continuity of supply.

Along with Sani-Tech^® and Tygon^®, C-Flex^® is part of Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics, portfolio of product solutions. Offered in standard and custom sizes, our biocompatible tubes are supported by Validation Guides and technical expertise that help to make Saint-Gobain a leader in fluid management for the Life Science Industry.
