Silicone Rubber Tubing Grades

Over our 30-year existence, we have worked with major corporations spanning numerous industries, which has enabled us to expand our rubber extrusion manufacturing capabilities to cover a range of silicone rubber tubing grades, including:

  • General Purpose Silicone Tubing:
    The most common type of FDA-approved rubber tubing.
  • Platinum Cured Silicone Tubing: A highly durable type of FDA and USP Class VI-approved rubber tubing, containing excellent biocompatibility, high-tear strength, and transparency qualities, making it suitable for hygiene critical applications, such as food processing, peristaltic pumps & medical and pharmaceutical settings.
  • Heat Stabilised Silicone Tubing: Suitable for applications up to 260°C.
  • High Temperature Silicone Tubing: Suitable for applications up to 300°C.
  • Metal-Detectable Silicone Tubing: Made to be X-ray detectable and often used in food processing applications.
  • Flame Retardant Silicone Tubing: Made to EN45545-2 specifications (for railway applications) and FAR/JAR 25.823 (for aerospace usage).
  • Conductive Silicone Tubing: A semiconductive compound with low volume resistivity used for electro-conductive models.
  • Fuel Tubing: Its high mechanical wear and outstanding strength qualities make it ideal for the dairy industry.

The Advantages of Silicone Rubber Tubing

Silicone rubber is an inorganic synthetic elastomer made from a cross-linked silicone-based polymer, providing a unique selection of advantageous properties that cannot be matched by other organic elastomers, including:

  • Non-reactive: Silicone rubber is highly inert, meaning it doesn’t react with the environment or most chemicals, making it the elastomer of choice for food and medical applications.
  • Resistant to Ozone & UV: Silicone has superior weathering resistance compared to organic rubbers, whose carbon composition leaves them susceptible to UV, Ozone, and many other ageing factors.
  • Temperature resistance: Silicone can operate in temperatures from -60°C to + 300°C, maintaining its mechanical properties, including tear strength, tensile strength, compression set, and elongation.
  • Thermal conductivity: Silicone rubber has a higher thermal conductivity than most other rubber materials and is used to create products such as heating rollers and thermal interface sheets.
  • Moisture & steam resistance: Silicone rubber can be immersed in cold, hot or boiling water for long periods without its mechanical and electrical advantages being affected. Also, silicone can withstand steam under ordinary pressure, with specialist steam-resistant grades available.
