NewAge(R) Industries Introduces Seven Additional Sizes of Clearflo(R) Ag-47 Antimicrobial Tubing
Clearflo Ag-47 antimicrobial tubing is now stocked in 17 sizes including 3/4" and 1" I.D. Customers had expressed a need for sizes above 1/2" I.D., and NewAge is now able to meet that requirement. The NSF-51 listed tubing contains antimicrobial ingredients throughout the tube, not only on the inside, and protects liquids from harmful bacteria that can transfer odors and taste. Applications include processing needs for beverages, food, dairy products, water and other clean fluids.
Southampton, PA, March 31, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Clearflo Ag-47, NewAge Industries’ antimicrobial tubing, is now available in an additional seven sizes, expanding its range up to 1” I.D. The NSF-listed tubing protects liquids from harmful bacteria that can result in taste transfer, odors and illnesses and is designed for applications such as beverage and dairy transfer, food processing, water lines, medical devices and clean fluid transfer.
NewAge’s Sales Manager for its Plastics Division, Stephen Kuhns, said, “Although we just introduced the product last summer, we were receiving requests for larger sizes. Clearflo Ag-47 is unique in that its antimicrobial properties are throughout the tubing, not only on the inside, and customers with needs for sizes above a half inch were interested. In customary NewAge fashion, we answered that need.”

Clearflo Ag-47’s antimicrobial ingredient guards against bacteria such as E. coli, listeria, salmonella, legionella, MRSA, campylobacter and pseudomonas. It is especially effective in applications where there is infrequent use of fluids in warm or humid conditions and the tubing does not have an opportunity to dry thoroughly between uses. This is particularly important in applications where the tubing is submerged in fluid.
