Sturdy silicone tubing
Sturdy silicone tubing has played countless roles in countless industries. Some of the industries where you will most often encounter sturdy silicone tubing are energy, automotive, mining, oil, petrochemical, but also some completely different industries like the food and beverage industry as well as medical.
We will also explain to you how it is possible to use the same thing in so many different industries, which have completely different requirements as well as environments in which different jobs are performed. It is clear that exposure to chemicals in the automotive industry, for example, is completely different from the food and beverage industry. But silicone is a material that allows such versatile use of sturdy silicone tubing. First of all, it has excellent temperature resistance. With a temperature range of over 300 degrees Celsius, that’s certainly not all. Chemical stability and resistance to flames are characteristics that every industry needs.
There is also the so-called non-invasive medical-grade sturdy silicone tubing which is used for various purposes in hospitals and other medical institutions. Food grade sturdy silicone tubing is approved by the FDA for close contact with food and beverages because the food remains completely safe for consumption.
Sturdy silicone tubing is less flexible and resilient than silicone tubing otherwise, but this is needed in many cases where flexibility impairs the ability to fit silicone tubing in a particular location. That is why sturdy silicone tubing is produced, and the number of sizes available guarantees that you will find the right one for you. If for some reason you need to be able to visually easily distinguish a tubing, then order a customize sturdy silicone tubing in the colors you want. Because it is water resistant, it also makes silicone resistant to different weather conditions and different environments. You can use it everywhere and know that it is very unlikely to be damaged.

Discuss Your RequirementsProduct specifications
- Product form
- Hollow elastomer tubing for a fitted line or sleeve
- Material
- Silicone. Specify the compound grade for the selected service.
- Application focus
- Vehicle hose runs, food-processing equipment and medical-device assemblies. Size the part against the selected assembly.
- Dimensions to confirm
- Inside diameter, outside diameter, wall thickness and cut length. Match these to vehicle hose runs and food-processing equipment.
- Stiffness
- Define the allowable deformation and hardness; a rigid or hard description alone is not a numerical material specification.
- Contact conditions
- Lubricating oil, food ingredients and water: define concentration, temperature and contact time, then check compatibility with the chosen compound.
- Exposure to evaluate
- Outdoor weather and oil splash. Validate the selected material under the combined conditions.
- Line layout
- Check bend radius, unsupported spans and clearance at both connections.
