What Is Silicone Rubber Tubing?

Silicone rubber tubing is a flexible, durable, and non-reactive material made from high-purity silicone. Known for its versatility, silicone rubber tubing is widely used in industries where resistance to extreme temperatures, flexibility, and chemical stability are crucial. It is especially valued for its ability to maintain structural integrity over long periods and its non-toxic nature, making it suitable for medical and food-grade applications.

At Accuseal Rubber Inc, our silicone rubber tubing is manufactured using high-quality silicone elastomers that provide superior resilience, flexibility, and longevity. Available in a wide range of sizes, wall thicknesses, and configurations, our tubing can be customized to meet the unique demands of your project.

Key Features and Benefits of Accuseal’s Silicone Rubber Tubing

1. High Temperature Resistance:

One of the standout features of silicone rubber tubing is its ability to withstand a wide range of temperatures without losing its flexibility or performance. Our tubing can tolerate temperatures ranging from -80°F to 500°F (-60°C to 260°C), making it suitable for applications involving extreme heat or cold. This makes it ideal for industries such as food processing, medical sterilization, and automotive manufacturing, where temperature stability is crucial.

2. Non-Toxic and Biocompatible:

Silicone rubber is widely used in medical and food industries due to its non-toxic and biocompatible properties. Our silicone rubber tubing meets the FDA’s stringent standards, ensuring it is safe for use in contact with food and beverages. In the medical sector, it is commonly used in devices such as catheters, IV lines, and peristaltic pumps, where patient safety and product sterility are essential.

3. Chemical Resistance:

Accuseal’s silicone rubber tubing is highly resistant to many chemicals, including acids, bases, and organic compounds. This makes it suitable for applications where exposure to chemicals or corrosive environments is a concern, such as in laboratories, industrial fluid transfer systems, and pharmaceutical production.

4. Durability and Longevity:

Silicone rubber is known for its excellent durability, resisting wear, tear, and degradation over time. Our silicone rubber tubing maintains its structural integrity even when subjected to repeated stretching, bending, or exposure to UV light and ozone. This makes it a reliable solution for long-term use in demanding industrial and outdoor environments.

5. Flexibility and Elasticity:

Our silicone rubber tubing remains flexible across a wide range of temperatures, making it easy to install and use in complex setups. The tubing’s elasticity also makes it resistant to kinking, collapsing, or cracking, which ensures smooth fluid flow and long-term reliability.

6. Customizability:

At Accuseal Rubber Inc, we understand that every application has unique requirements. That’s why we offer extensive customization options for our silicone rubber tubing, including various diameters, wall thicknesses, lengths, and colors. We also provide custom formulations for specific performance attributes such as flame retardance, enhanced chemical resistance, or conductivity.
