Silicone elastic tubing
If you are in need of flexible, elastic tubing – we might just have the perfect product for you. Silicone elastic tubing is the best choice if you need a high-quality tubing that is reliable, long-lasting, not prone to breakage, and can withstand a lot of wear and tear, amongst many other things. Silicone elastic tubing has many applications. Generally speaking, you will find elastic silicone tubing pretty much everywhere, but they are most commonly found in food processing facilities and laboratories all over the world. Seeing how silicone is naturally transparent, elastic tubing made from silicone allows people to look at what is going on during their work.
The elasticity of the silicone is mostly there due to its soft nature. Unlike some other rubbers, silicone is usually somewhere in the vicinity of 20 to 30 Shore A Durometer in terms of hardness. That means that you can bend, squeeze, and even tie the tubing up in a knot without damaging it. However, we don’t really see why you would want to tie your tubing in a knot other than to test how resilient and flexible it is.
Aside from being very flexible and elastic, silicone tubing is also very thermally stable and not at all thermally conductive. Loosely translated, that means that tubing won’t heat up or cool down and will be able to withstand both very high and very low temperatures. More precisely, a silicone tube will easily handle up to 270 degrees Celsius, as well as temperatures as low as negative 70 degrees Celsius. Additionally, silicone elastic tubing is chemically stable and non-reactive, meaning you will be able to use it in various conditions and run all kinds of abrasive liquids through it. As long as you properly seal the ends of the tube – silicone will be able to handle pretty much any liquid you throw at it.
