SILICONE RUBBER TUBING

General Characteristics

Suitable for continuous operation at temperatures from -60oF (-50oC) to 400oF (204oC) and for intermittent use from -80oF (-62oC) to 450oF (232oC). Red iron-oxide formulations are suitable for continuous use up to 480oF (250oC). Depending on media and application useful life at temperatures up to 570oF (300oC) may be obtained. No harmful toxic or physiological effects. Chemically extremely 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. Low flammability and low smoke. Manufactured in ISO 9000 quality assured plant.
