Translucent Peroxide Cured Tubing – Chemical Resistant and Heat Stable for Industrial Applications

Translucent peroxide cured tubing is a versatile solution widely used in industries that demand high levels of purity, flexibility, and durability. Manufactured using a specialized peroxide curing process, this type of tubing offers superior mechanical properties and resistance to environmental factors, making it ideal for various applications, including food processing, medical devices, and industrial systems.

What is Peroxide Cured Tubing?

Peroxide cured tubing is made from high-quality silicone rubber that undergoes a peroxide-based curing process. This method enhances the tubing’s thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength, making it suitable for demanding environments. The translucent appearance ensures visual monitoring of fluid flow, adding to its functionality in critical applications.

Advantages of Translucent Peroxide Cured Tubing

• Enhanced Longevity: Resists degradation from UV light, ozone, and repeated sterilization cycles.
• Non-Toxic and Hygienic: Suitable for direct contact with food, beverages, and medical fluids.
• Temperature Versatility: Performs consistently in extreme temperature environments.
• Customizability: Available in various sizes, wall thicknesses, and lengths to meet specific requirements.

Maintenance Tips

• Regularly inspect the tubing for signs of wear or damage.
• Clean with appropriate cleaning agents to maintain hygiene and functionality.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature aging.
• Replace tubing periodically in critical applications to ensure optimal performance.

Choosing the Right Tubing

When selecting translucent peroxide cured tubing, consider factors such as:

• Inner Diameter (ID) and Outer Diameter (OD): Match with the system requirements for proper fluid flow.
• Wall Thickness: Ensure it can handle the pressure levels of the application.
• Certifications: Look for compliance with FDA, ISO, or other relevant standards.
• Length: Choose the appropriate length to minimize waste and installation complexity.

Peroxide cured tubing offers a most cost-efficient alternative to platinum cured tubing; however, the peroxide curing process produces by-products that make it unsuitable for some applications. Check with our Sales Team for more Info.
