SILCON® Silicone Tubing

The most outstanding properties of SILCON tubing are its flexibility and resistance to temperature extremes. These, plus its good electrical properties and ability to self-extinguish, make SILCON tubing an excellent choice for appliances and computers

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 sharply 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.

Please call or email Best Value Vacs to request different sizes and thickness (1/16" to 3/4"ID) - Colors for industrial applications are available through minimum order.
