Key Features of Platinum Cured Silicone Tubing
-
High-Quality Platinum Curing Process
The platinum curing process ensures that the silicone tubing is free from peroxides and other contaminants. This results in a non-toxic, odorless, and taste-free product, making it ideal for sensitive applications such as food processing and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
-
Durable and Flexible
The 60° Shore hardness provides an excellent balance between flexibility and durability. This makes the tubing easy to handle and install while maintaining its structural integrity under pressure or stress.
-
Wide Temperature Range
Platinum cured silicone tubing can withstand extreme temperatures, typically ranging from -60°C to +200°C (-76°F to +392°F). This feature ensures reliable performance in both cryogenic and high-temperature environments.
-
Chemical Resistance
Its resistance to a wide array of chemicals, including acids, bases, and solvents, makes it suitable for laboratory and industrial settings. The tubing does not react with transported materials, preserving their purity.
-
Translucency for Visibility
The translucent nature of the tubing allows for easy monitoring of fluid flow, making it a practical choice for applications that require precision and observation.
Applications of Translucent Platinum Cured Silicone Rubber Tubing
-
Food and Beverage Industry
The tubing is FDA-approved and compliant with food-grade standards, making it safe for transferring liquids, syrups, and other consumables without contamination or flavor alteration.
-
Medical and Pharmaceutical Use
Its non-toxic and biocompatible properties make it suitable for use in medical devices, drug delivery systems, and laboratory equipment.
-
Industrial Applications
From transferring chemicals to handling high-temperature fluids in manufacturing processes, this tubing provides reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
