PC materials are low in chemical resistance against alkaline solutions. Avoid using neutral detergents with pH higher than 9. Note that pH of some neutral detergents are still higher than 9 even if diluted according to the instruction in the maker‘s catalog.
their life expectancies are defined as follows. Be operated at the maximum speed: High quality tubes (PA、PC、PP): 30-50 operations Ordinary tubes (PA、 PC、 PP): around 10 operations (Using in low speed can extend the tube life). Life expectancy of tubes also depends on the pretreatment conditions such as cleaning and sterilization, lifetime can be cut down.
