Ensuring high operator and product protection and no cross-contamination, Hicoflex® products are 100% FDA-compliant and produced under Class 5 cleanroom conditions.
They are easy to use and install, multi-purpose and enable visual product transfer confirmation. Suitable for powders, granules, pellets and tablets, solutions for specialized applications are available on demand.
