Notes
SILBRADE enables silicone tubing to handle increased pressure
applications. SILBRADE also offers outstanding resistance to temperature
extremes and is made from FDA-sanctioned ingredients.
The flexible design and lightweight construction of SILBRADE
allows excellent bend radii and permits installation in restricted spaces
without impeding flow.
SILBRADE, a peroxide-cured product, contains no sulphur
or other acid-producing chemicals thereby eliminating the possibility of
staining, corroding, or deteriorating other materials it contacts. It is
also resistant to ozone and U.V. over long time periods.
Care is recommended in the selection of fittings and clamps,
as sharp barbed fittings or unlined metal clamps could tear into the hose
wall and possibly cause a failure, especially at elevated pressures.
SILBRADE may be low pressure steam sterilized in-line
or autoclaved at up to 250°F in a normal autoclaving cycle. However,
if exposed to repeated steam sterilization or long-term high temperature
or pressure, silicone will eventually relax and become gummy. It should
then be replaced. |
