General Characteristics
A reinforced silicone rubber tubing for high pressure applications over a wide temperature range. Suitable for continuous operation at temperatures from -80 to 300F (-60 to 150C) and for intermittent exposure up to 350F (180C). Chemically stable and suitable for use with many acids and alkalis. Resistant to ozone, UV and corona discharge. Electrically insulating with dielectric strength 500 V/mil. Inherently low flammability and low smoke. No harmful toxic or physiological effects (RoHS and REACH compliant). Natural translucent silicone tubing is compliant with FDA 21 CFR 177-2600 for use in food contact applications. Many colors can also be formulated within FDA requirements.
