Industry: Pharmaceuticals

Press Release Summary: NewAge(R) Industries manufactures flexible silicone tubing
and hose with non-toxic ingredients that meet USP Class VI, FDA, and NSF-51
requirements. The products are well stocked for immediate or JIT shipment and handle

laboratory, and food and beverage uses. Both products are produced in a controlled
environment and are sterilizable, reusable, translucent, odorless, tasteless, and
inert.

Press Release Body: NewAge(R) Industries now offers medical-grade silicone tubing
and hose for applications such as medical devices, pharmaceutical processing,
laboratory uses, surgical drains, peristaltic pumps, dental equipment, blood and
biological fluid handling, dialysis machinery, even food and beverage uses. The
tubing (unreinforced) and hose (braid reinforced) are manufactured in-house and well
stocked for immediate or JIT shipment.

Silicone addresses several issues that must be considered when selecting the best
tubing materials for medical-related uses. Can it handle a wide range of
temperatures, including fluctuations in those temperatures? Is it non-toxic?
Manufactured in a controlled environment or clean room? Is it sterilizable?
Reusable? Flexible? How does it handle electrically-associated applications?

NewAge Industries' medical-grade silicone tubing (called Silcon(R) Medical) and hose
(Silbrade(R) Medical) offer non-toxic ingredients. The silicone elastomer meets USP
Class VI and NSF-51 requirements, as well as FDA standards for use with food contact
surfaces. Both products are manufactured in a controlled environment and are
extremely flexible, translucent for visual contact with the flow, odorless,
tasteless, and nonreactive to body tissues and fluids. Silcon Medical withstands
temperatures from -100°F (-73°C) through 400°F (204°C), while Silbrade Medical
handles -80°F (-62°C) to 350°F (176°C). Both items are sterilizable, reusable, and
exhibit inertness to U.V., radiation, and ozone.

Silcon Medical and Silbrade Medical are peroxide-cured products. Silcon Medical is
stocked in 22 sizes ranging from .012" to 3/4" I.D.; Silbrade Medical is offered in
eight sizes from 1/8" to 1" I.D. Platinum-cured versions, for the highest degree of
purity and the fewest extractables, and industrial grades are also available.

Note: NewAge Industries does not produce or sell human-implantable silicone products.
