What is Silicone Tubing?
Silicone tubing, especially high-purity platinum-cured silicone tubing, is a specialised type of tubing known for its biocompatibility, high temperature resistance, flexibility, and suitability for critical applications in industries such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices, food and beverage, and more. Platinum-cured silicone tubing is considered a premium grade due to its enhanced purity and reduced potential for leaching contaminants.
High purity platinum-cured silicone tubing intended for medical or pharmaceutical applications often conforms to various industry standards and regulations, such as ISO 10993 for biocompatibility and US Pharmacopeia (USP) Class VI for biological reactivity.
High purity platinum-cured silicone tubing is a valuable option for applications where biocompatibility, high temperature resistance, and purity are critical. Its use in medical, pharmaceutical, and other regulated industries underscores its importance in ensuring safe and reliable fluid transport while minimizing the risk of contamination or adverse reactions.
