Press Release Summary: Multi-layer silicone hose, called APSM, from AdvantaPure is
now available in custom colors for easy recognition. Colored APSM makes line
identification quicker, as it eliminates the need to read a label. Allows
recognition anywhere along the hose.

Press Release Body: AdvantaPure is pleased to announce that its APSM reinforced
silicone hose is now offered in custom colors for easy line recognition. Previously
available only in white, APSM is used for applications involving elevated pressure
levels in pharmaceutical, bioprocess, biomedical, food, beverage, chemical,
cosmetic, and pure fluid transfer.

Color is a valuable tool for identification and may be used to signal capabilities
or limitations, allow for instant recognition, create traceability, or improve
safety. Process lines are quickly and easily known by sight, eliminating the need to
read a label-a great advantage in situations when time is crucial. APSM in colors
allows for identification anywhere along the length of the hose.

APSM is constructed of a core of low volatile, platinum-cured silicone for purity.
The core is then wrapped in four layers of alternating polyester mesh fabric and
additional silicone, with the outermost layer available in custom colors. These
colors are part of the silicone material and will not rub off.

A versatile product, APSM is durable and heavy duty yet flexible, making it ideal
for pressure-rated discharge applications. It may be sterilized by autoclave, CIP,
SIP, and gamma radiation processes. The material has undergone extensive testing and
meets USP Class VI, FDA, ISO, European Pharmacopoeia, and 3-A standards. APSM
withstands temperatures from -100°F (-73°C) to 400°F (204°C).

In addition to custom-colored APSM, AdvantaPure is also able to offer a
wire-reinforced version of the same hose, called APSW, in custom colors. The company
provides services such as hose assemblies, electropolishing of fittings, and process
component identification solutions as well.

Note: Because APSM in colors is a custom product, lead times and minimum order
quantities apply.
