Peroxide-Cured Silicone Unreinforced Translucent Food Grade Tube for Peristaltic Pumps

Description

Our peroxide-cured silicone elastomer extruded tube is designed for its extra flexible and elastic, ensuring ease of use and compatibility with various applications. As a food-grade material, it can be sterilised in an autoclave, ensuring it meets the highest standards of hygiene and safety. It is resistant to high temperatures and provides good resistance to aggressive fluids, alcohols, and acids. Additionally, it boasts excellent weather and UV resistance, is water-repellent, chemically inert, and biologically neutral, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications. The tube also offers good resistance to dynamic fatigue and maintains low deformation under compression and traction, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.

Features and Applications

This tube is perfectly suited for the transport of food-grade liquids, alcohols, and acids in environments requiring the highest levels of purity and reliability, such as medical, pharmaceutical, agriculture, laboratory, and cosmetics settings. Its extra flexibility and elasticity make it an excellent choice for dynamic applications involving peristaltic and doser pumps.

Properties

With its extra flexibility and elasticity, this tube stands out for its food-grade quality and sterilisability. It resists high temperatures effectively and combats aggressive substances efficiently. It's characterized by excellent weather and UV resistance, water repellency, and chemical and biological neutrality. The tube's ability to resist dynamic fatigue and maintain integrity under pressure and tension is impressive, with a nominal density of 1.14, a tensile strength of >12 Mpa, and an extraordinary elongation at break of >700%. The standard translucent colour facilitates easy monitoring of the tube's contents.
The recommended method for secure and efficient connections is utilizing a nipple with lug clamp or band clamp, ensuring a reliable and leak-proof installation for various system components.
