REINFORCED TUBE
A continuously extruded translucent reinforced silicone rubber tubing. Standard reinforcement of glass fibre braiding sandwiched between vulcanised layers of silicone rubber. A working temperature of 220 degrees C is therefore attainable with hot air sterilization to 250 degrees C. Vapour sterilization to 3.8 bar. Every coil is tested to recommended working pressure ( DIN 20024). Stock bore size range 3.0mm to 25.4mm. Silicone rubber linear material to FDA 177.2600, USP. BGA x V and EP V1.1.32 (silicone elastometer for closures and tubing)
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. ( peroxide free, platinum catalyst reinforced tubing can be extruded to minimum order.)
A 200% factor of safety is applied to recommended reinforced tubing working pressures. Working pressures stated are 20 degrees C, temperatures over 100 degrees C will result in a decrease in working pressure, consult us for further information.
Technical or General Purpose grades for industrial applications.
Silicone compounds can be engineered to suit a particular requirements or specification, eg. Limits of temperature, fire resistance/flammability etc. High temperature varients can be engineered to 315 degrees C continuous working
