Two chemical groups react with platinum in a platinum-based silicon cure system. Platinum Cured Silicone is not like traditional Peroxide-cured materials. They can leave trace elements behind after cure, which can lead to contamination.
Platinum cured silicone has become a popular choice in many industries, including medical, food, drink and dairy applications.
Benefits of Platinum Cured Silicone Tubing
There are many benefits to choosing platinum-cured silicone over other options:
- High tear strength
- excellent translucency so more visibility through the material
- non-yellowing
- no peroxide by-products
- highly hydrophobic
- extended life in Peristaltic pumps
Platinum Cured Silicone Applications.
Many industries are now looking for platinum-cured silicone products because of their many advantages. These include:
- Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Applications
The fluid transfer is made easy with platinum-cured silicone tubing. It is ideal for medical use due to its high-temperature resistance and lowers potential leachables. Silicone can preserve the purity of sensitive fluids because it has excellent biocompatibility. This tubing is also known for its smooth surface and low protein binding levels, making it a great choice for this application.
- Food and Drink Applications
Platinum-cured silicone tubing revolutionized liquid transfer in drink machines. The taste of traditional peroxide-cured silicone tubing can be tarnished. Platinum-cured tubing has no such problem. Because of its high tensile strength, it is ideal for the food industry.
- Dairy Applications
Platinum cured silicone is ideal for use in the dairy industry due to its high mechanical wear and excellent tear strength. Platinum cured silicone tubes are more durable than the black rubber tubing that is commonly used for milking. They don’t harden or rust as much as conventional rubber tubing. This extremely durable product is made with highly polished dies to create a smooth inner bore. This improves flow rate and hygiene levels.
