The most outstanding properties of silicone its flexibility and resistance to temperature extremes,resists ozone, radiation, moisture, compression sets, weathering and chemical reaction . It imparts no odors to fluids transported within it and resists the adherence of blood products and other sanitary fluids. It’s hence very useful for pharmaceutical, biotech, peristaltic pumping, and food applications. It is extremely resistant to ozone and U.V. over long time periods. SILCONE may be low pressure steam sterilized in-line or autoclaved at up to 250°F in a normal autoclaving cycle.
Both free radical (peroxide) and addition (platinum) cured mechanisms offer safe, durable, and effective means for fluid transport and handling.
Peroxide-cured SILCON contains no sulphur or other acid-producing chemicals, thereby eliminating the possibility of staining, corroding, or deteriorating materials it contacts.
The chief advantage to platinum cured silicone products are its surface properties resist encrustation and will not support bacteria growth.It is nonreactive to body tissues and fluids and extremely low levels of extractables and leachables and ultra-high purity characteristics, Because of ability to control platinum cured products, by-products are not an issue. This gives platinum cured products the reputation for being the highest purity products.
