Diaphragm Valves Special Diaphragms

Introduction
Through continuous in-house innovation, Saunders team of polymer technologists has developed a range of special diaphragms aimed at solving key application challenges and providing increased TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) to customers in the Life Science Industry.

EX Endurance Diaphragms
Key Features
1. Outstanding high temperature performance and resistance to long term exposure at elevated temperatures
2. Ideal for steam distribution and supply, sterile barrier, and block-and-bleed applications
3. Improved seal-to-atmosphere performance and reduced requirements for re-torqueing of fasteners after thermo cycling

Type 500 Grade Silicone Diaphragms
The 500 grade diaphragm uses a dicumyl cured silicone that is fabric reinforced to optimize flex life. This is a white grade of diaphragm which offers very low levels of extractables and leachables. Silicone is ideal for low temperature environments and applications. Like all Life Science Diaphragms, the 500 grade Silicone Diaphragm is FDA conforming and USP Class VI tested and certified.

Type PV Grade Passivation Diaphragms
The Saunders PV passivation diaphragm has been developed specifically for use during the passivation of stainless steel systems reducing installation and set up costs for the end user.

Key Features
1. Reduced cost versus single use PTFE diaphragm
2. High visibility tag reduces risk of diaphragm not being replaced
3. 100% interchangeable with Saunders Life Science PTFE diaphragm range

Saunders full range of Biopharm diaphragms comply with all international test accreditations
