This silicone tubing is formulated without sulfur or other acid-producing chemicals, helping reduce the risk of staining, corrosion, or degradation of surrounding materials. It offers excellent long-term resistance to UV and ozone exposure, making it well-suited for a wide range of laboratory, medical, and general fluid transfer applications. While not recommended for implantation or continuous steam use, it can be low-pressure steam sterilized in-line as well as autoclaved.
Key specifications:
With repeated steam sterilization or prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures or pressures, the material may gradually soften, become gummy, and require replacement over time.
Silicone tubing is an excellent choice for applications involving temperature extremes. This tubing’s strong electrical properties and self-extinguishing capability makes it a good choice for appliances and computer applications. While Component Supply provides some information for possible applications for this tubing, 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 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 cutting customer-specified lengths as short as a 1/4 inch. Contact us for 1,000-foot pricing and custom fabrication information.
