Silbrade® Platinum – Platinum Cured Braid Reinforced Silicone Hose
Silbrade Platinum Hose is platinum-cured and is supplied in individual, heat-sealed polybags. The construction of Silbrade Platinum involves a liner of silicone elastomer, an open polyester braid reinforcing layer, and a covering of silicone elastomer. The braid reinforcement allows for increased pressure usage over unreinforced silicone tubing. Silbrade Platinum contains no plasticizers and surface properties resist encrustation and will not support bacteria growth. Care is recommended in the selection and application of fittings and clamps as sharp barbed fittings or unlined metal clamps could tear into the hose wall, possibly leading to hose failure. Silbrade Platinum should not be used for steam transfer or continuous steam operation. Steam-for-sterilization is the only recommended exposure to steam. If exposed to repeated steam sterilization or long-term high temperature or pressure, silicone will eventually become gummy. It should then be replaced. Silbrade Platinum is not recommended for implantable or in-body uses or for continuous steam applications.

NOTE: Values listed are typical for the material used in manufacture, except where noted, and are meant only as a guide to aid in design. Field testing should be performed to find the actual values for your application.
Cut Pieces – When tubing comes in, for example, 100 foot coils, and you need it in 10’ sections, tubing can be cut. Request a quote.
Size – Tubing is stocked in common I.D. and O.D. sizes, but this product can be custom extruded in other sizes. Let’s talk about what you need. Minimum quantities apply.
Color – Have your tubing colored to match equipment, company colors, or identify line (hot or cold, indoor or outdoor, chemicals, etc..).
Opaque and transparent colors may be accommodated. Minimum quantities apply.
Custom Layline – Tailor the look of your company’s product by printing your tubing with your logo, part number, size information, date code, or other data that you specify. Printed products can reinforce and enhance your company identity, create products traceability, or identify capabilities or limitations of the item, all at a cost effective price.
In-line Cutting – Tubing can be cut to a specific length at the end of the extrusion line, accomplishing two processes – your extrusion and your cutting-to-length part – saving you time and cost. It also ensures that you received a straight piece with no coil set.
All custom products are subject to minimum order quantities and lead times. For other custom options, please contact us.

Sold by standard length (50 ft).
Add length suffix to part number when ordering. Example: 50 ft. of 1/4” I.D. Silbrade Platinum is part number 292 1023-50.
Working pressures are calculated from burst testing using a 3:1 safety factor. Application testing is recommended.
