This platinum-cured silicone is a high-purity elastomer designed for medical, laboratory, and fluid handling applications.
It is reusable and can withstand repeated sterilization, offering excellent resistance to sticking, encrustation, and bacterial growth. Free of plasticizers, this tubing minimizes the risk of leachables that could contaminate flow or cause material hardening, while maintaining a soft, pliable structure for reliable performance.
Not recommended for implantable use or continuous steam applications, it may gradually degrade under prolonged exposure to high temperature or pressure.
There are various applications for platinum-cured silicone including pharmaceutical, biomedical, health and beauty, food and beverage handling uses. It is frequently used in laboratory settings as well. Component Supply provides some information for platinum-cured tubing applications, but there are too many possible functions for a comprehensive description of uses in various industries. Therefore, when considering a potential application in your particular industry, please consider contacting one of our knowledgeable representatives who assist researchers and product designers in choosing the best products for their specific applications.
Component Supply offers platinum-cured silicone rubber tubing in the dimensions indicated on the chart below. Although we stock large volumes of this product for efficient and competitive distribution, we also seek to provide application-specific functionality to researchers and product designers by limiting minimum orders and offering custom fabrication of our products. Capabilities for custom cutting this tubing to customer requirements include lengths as short as 1/4-inch long. When purchased in 50-foot lengths, this tubing comes sealed but should still be sterilized before use. For more custom fabrication information or volume pricing for 1,000-feet, please contact a Component Supply representative who can inform you of the best options for your specific application.
ISO 13485 certified. Platinum-cured silicone tubing is USP Class VI certified.
