For pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications platinum-cured silicone tubing is an outstanding choice for fluid transfer. It offers high-temperature resistance and fewer potential leachables. Silicone provides superior biocompatibility and chemical inertness to maintain the purity of sensitive fluids. This tubing also has flat exteriors and reduces protein binding levels.
Elastostar tubing is manufactured to extremely close tolerances that ensure accurate, repeatable flow and long tubing life. It is factory-tested and optically inspected. This platinum-cured silicone tubing has slightly better clarity than peroxide-cured tubing. Tubing is available in cut-to-length. Available Wall Thickness range of tubing 0.010 inches to 0.750 inches. For the smallest size, we can extrude tubing from 0.020 inch ID x 0.050 inch OD.
Elastostar Rubber Corporation’s manufacture of Platinum Cured silicone Standard and custom-size tubing complies with FDA CFR 177.2600 requirements for high-purity Silicone rubber tubing intended for repeated use. This part of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is reserved for rules established by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Section 177.2600 lists allowable materials such as elastomers and additives and sets the extraction limits.
Platinum-cured silicones also comply with USP Class VI requirements for the biocompatibility of materials. used in medical devices and equipment. As part of the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP), USP Class VI is regarded as one of the most stringent requirements in medical device manufacturing. Platinum Cured silicones also comply with the European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2002/95/E.
