DATA SHEET
Silicone Transparent Tube Data Sheet
We offer tubing which have outstanding resistance to temperature extremes and is made from FDA-sanctioned ingredients. Our Tubing is a peroxide-cured product, contains no sulphur or other acid-producing chemicals thereby eliminating the possibility of staining, corroding, or deteriorating other materials it contacts. It is also resistant to ozone and U.V. over long time periods.
Tubing may be low pressure steam sterilized in-line or autoclaved at up to 250°F in a normal autoclaving cycle. However, if exposed to repeated steam sterilization or long term high temperature or pressure, silicone will eventually relax and become gummy. It should then be replaced. Silicone rubber consists essentially of silicone polymers and fillers. They cure at high temperature (HTV/LSR grades) or room temperature (RTV grades) with suitable reactants, forming a three dimensional structure and transforming an uncured compound in a plastic state into an elastomeric rubber.
Silicone elastomers are flexible at low temperature and resistant to heat and aging (UV radiation and ozone). They are easy to process and have good mechanical properties that remain unchanged over a wide temperature range. They have a neutral taste and are biologically unreactive.

Silicone Transparent Tubing Features:
• Made from FDA-sanctioned ingredients • Manufactured using FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 transparent natural color for visual contact with the flow • Able to resist extreme temperature variation: -80°F to 350°F • Excellent weather ability properties -- resists U.V., ozone, gases, moisture, and extreme temperatures • Repeatedly autoclavable • Translucent for visual flow. • Manufactured using minimum quantities of 2, 4 dichlorobenzoyl peroxide catalyst specifically for laboratory and medical use. Every effort is made to maintain low DCBA levels following post cure.
