Food grade silicone rubber tubing
Without food grade silicone rubber tubing functioning of food industry as whole would be seriously jeopardized. And no, we are not exaggerating when we say that, but the importance of food grade silicone rubber tubing is really that great. The food industry has particularly strict regulations, so only materials that are safe for contact with food must be used. One of the few such materials is food grade silicone, a type of silicone approved for prolonged contact with food. Some other types of rubber could endanger the health of consumers as well as the quality of food, but not food grade silicone rubber tubing. Food grade silicone rubber tubing is used to transfer liquids, so wineries are one of our most frequent customers.
It is recommended that every house as well as laboratory have food grade silicone rubber tubing due to its very diverse application. Tubing made of silicone can work successfully in various temperature ranges, from minus 50 to plus 250 degrees Celsius. According to some information, this temperature range is even higher – from minus 100 to plus 300 degrees Celsius, but we do not recommend using tubing in such extreme conditions for too long.
We offer food grade silicone rubber tubing available in a large number of different sizes, as the needs for diameters are very diverse. Also, we allow our clients to choose the diameter, length and thickness of the tubing. Thickness is important because it is not the same when you use tubing for water or chemicals. Then the thickness must be adjusted. It is also possible to choose a color. Silicone is transparent and many choose to keep the tubing transparent, but if you want the tubing to have a certain color, we can do it for you. Generally speaking almost anything can be customized to your requirements.
