SILICONE TUBING

Properties 

  • Odorless, tasteless, and inert

  • Able to resist extreme temperature variation: -100°F                       to 500°F (350°F maximum for NSF applications)

  • Meets FDA requirements per FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 for use with food contact surfaces

  • Listed by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF-51) for food equipment materials[U]

  • Conforms to 3-A Sanitary Standards for Number 18-03 (Multiple Use Rubber and Rubber-Like Materials)

  • Free of BPA, latex, and phthalates; RoHS compliant

  • Reusable and will withstand repeated sterilization^

  • Translucent natural color for visual contact with the flow

  • Resilient, stretchable, and resistant to compression set

  • Good electrical and weatherability properties — resists U.V., ozone, gases, and moisture

The most outstanding properties of SILCON are its flexibility and resistance to temperature extremes. These, plus its good electrical properties and ability to self-extinguish, make SILCON an excellent choice for appliances and thermal sleeving.
