Silicone tubing is widely used in pharmaceutical, biotech and food processing applications because it stays flexible, resists high and low temperatures, and does not react with most fluids. For these industries, the purity and compliance of the tubing directly affects product safety, so the material grade matters as much as the dimensions.
Platinum-cured silicone tubing is generally preferred over peroxide-cured tubing for critical use. The platinum curing process leaves fewer by-products, so the tubing has lower extractables, better clarity and a longer service life. This makes it suitable for fluid transfer in sterile environments, peristaltic pumps, filling lines and similar processes.
When selecting silicone tubing, a few points are worth checking. First, the inner and outer diameter and wall thickness should match the pressure and flow needs. Second, the temperature range should cover the full process, including any sterilization steps like autoclaving. Third, the tubing should meet the relevant compliance standards for the industry it is used in.
Makvin Polymer manufactures platinum-cured silicone tubing along with reinforced silicone hoses for pressure and vacuum lines. The tubing is produced in-house with quality checks at each stage, and custom sizes are available for specific applications. The same in-house setup also covers gaskets, profiles, sleeves, cords and molded parts, so buyers can source related silicone components from a single manufacturer.
