Platinum-Cured Silicone Tubing

Platinum cured silicone tubing is known for its excellent biocompatibility, making it suitable for medical and pharmaceutical applications, including medical device manufacturing and drug delivery systems.

The platinum curing process imparts a higher degree of purity to the silicone material compared to other curing methods, reducing the risk of leaching or contamination of the substances being transported through the tubing.

Platinum cured silicone tubing typically has lower levels of extractable compounds, which means that fewer unwanted substances are likely to be released from the tubing and into the substances being transported.

Silicone is inherently heat-resistant, and platinum cured silicone tubing can withstand a wide temperature range, making it suitable for applications that involve temperature fluctuations or high-temperature processes.

Silicone tubing is known for its flexibility, which makes it easy to handle and manipulate, even in complex or tight spaces.

Platinum cured silicone tubing exhibits good resistance to many chemicals, acids, and bases, ensuring that the tubing material remains stable and unaffected when exposed to a variety of substances.

Silicone tubing can be manufactured to be highly transparent, allowing for easy visual inspection of the fluids flowing through the tubing.

Platinum cured silicone tubing is generally odorless and tasteless, which is important for applications in the food and beverage industry, as well as medical applications where the tubing’s material should not affect the qualities of the substances it comes into contact with.

The inner surface of platinum cured silicone tubing tends to be smooth, minimizing the risk of residue buildup or the adherence of particles or microorganisms.
