Silcon® Silicone Tubing
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. Peroxide-cured Silcon contains no sulfur or other acid-producing chemicals, thereby eliminating the possibility of staining, corroding, or deteriorating materials it contacts. It is extremely resistant to ozone and U.V. over long time periods. Care is recommended in the selection of fittings and clamps for Silcon as sharp barbed fittings or unlined metal clamps could tear into the tubing wall and possibly cause a failure. Silcon may be low pressure steam sterilized in-line or autoclaved at up to 250°F in a normal autoclaving cycle. However, if exposed to repeated steam sterilization or long-term high temperature or pressure, silicone will eventually relax and become gummy. It should then be replaced. Colors for industrial applications are available through minimum order — call for details. Silcon is not recommended for implantable or in-body uses or for continuous steam applications.

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.
All custom products are subject to minimum order quantities and lead times. For other custom options, please contact us.
