Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the main difference between peroxide-cured and platinum-cured silicone tubing?

Platinum-cured (or addition-cured) flexible silicone rubber tubing is produced via a cleaner chemical process that leaves no acidic by-products. This results in a higher purity, odorless, and more biocompatible tube with superior clarity and compression set resistance, making it essential for medical, food, and high-precision applications.

Can your silicone tubing handle steam sterilization (autoclaving)?

Yes, our platinum-cured silicone tubing is designed to withstand repeated autoclaving cycles (typically 121°C at 15 psi) without significant degradation, hardening, or loss of transparency, making it perfect for reusable medical and laboratory equipment.

Is this tubing suitable for potable water and food contact?

Absolutely. Our tubing is compliant with FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 for repeated food contact and LFGB standards. It is tasteless, odorless, and will not leach harmful substances, ensuring safe transfer of drinking water, beverages, and liquid food products.

Do you offer tubing with different levels of hardness (durometer)?

Yes. We offer a range of Shore A hardness from a soft 40°A for highly flexible, kink-resistant applications to a firmer 70°A for applications requiring greater pressure resistance and dimensional stability. Our team can advise on the optimal durometer for your needs.

What are the minimum order quantities (MOQ) and lead times?

We cater to both large OEM projects and smaller pilot runs. MOQs are flexible, especially for standard sizes. Lead times vary based on order volume and customization but we pride ourselves on efficient production and reliable delivery schedules. Contact our sales team for a specific quote.
