FDA silicone tubing
The phrase FDA silicone tubing is commonly used when discussing silicone tubing for food contact. The useful question is whether the selected finished tube meets the requirements applicable to its intended use. The word silicone, or an FDA-related label on its own, does not establish suitability for every food and operating condition.
Define the food or beverage, contact duration and temperature, as well as the cleaning chemicals and cycle. Material selection should address these conditions along with the complete formulation. Food-contact suitability does not make an unsafe or spoiled substance safe to consume, and it does not mean that a tube is sterile.
Fit remains important in a food-processing line. Match the bore and wall to the connections, pressure and any pumping action, and arrange the route so it can be cleaned as intended. Inspect for damage and residues during maintenance. Use an agreed product specification for repeat purchases instead of treating every silicone tube as interchangeable.
