Thin Food Safe Silicone Tubing
We offer a wide variety of products that are used across various industries, as well as households all over the words. It is not an understatement when we say that rubber tubing is one of the most commonly used products in the whole world. The main advantage of rubber tubing lies in its versatility and affordability. Even when manufactured from the highest-quality natural and synthetic rubbers, rubber tubing is still more affordable compared to cheap plastic tubing. Not to mention, it is far superior in basically every aspect.
Because of this, rubber tubing is a go-to product of many industries, starting from the automotive and military industries and all the way to the medical or food processing industies. Today, we would like to talk to you about the tubing that is used in the food industry.
As you know, when you’re dealing with food or any other substance for human use – health is your number one priority. All of the products used in the food industry must be completely safe, sterile and free of any contaminants. The rules and regulations concerning the safety of the products are made by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and it safe to say that they are very strict.
On that note, our thin food safe silicone tubing is FDA approved and can be safely used in any area of the food industry. Thin food safe silicone tubing, aside from being FDA approved, is also quite flexible, resilient and durable, but is also chemically stable, can withstand both really low and really high temperatures and is flame retardant. As you could imagine, food factories deal with both high and low temperatures and sometimes even with an open flame, so it is critical that all of our thin food safe silicone tubing abides by those standards so that it ensures a safe working environment.

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
- Food-processing equipment, vehicle hose runs 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 food-processing equipment and vehicle hose runs.
- Food-contact qualification
- Identify the food, contact time and cleaning cycle; obtain documentation for the selected finished compound and intended use.
- Wall control
- Dimension wall thickness separately from the bore; check the required bending behavior and connection fit at that thickness.
- Contact conditions
- Food ingredients and medicinal contents: define concentration, temperature and contact time, then check compatibility with the chosen compound.
- Exposure to evaluate
- Heat and cold cycling. Validate the selected material under the combined conditions.
- Line layout
- Check bend radius, unsupported spans and clearance at both connections.
