Product Details
Silbrade® braid reinforced silicone hose is engineered for increased pressure applications and exceptional temperature resistance, made from FDA-sanctioned ingredients. Its flexible design allows for excellent bend radii, making it suitable for installation in restricted spaces without impeding flow. As a peroxide-cured product, Silbrade is free from sulphur and other acid-producing chemicals, preventing staining, corrosion, or deterioration of other materials it may contact. It is resistant to ozone and UV exposure over extended periods. Care should be taken when selecting fittings and clamps, as sharp barbed fittings or unlined metal clamps may damage the hose, especially under elevated pressures. Silbrade is not designed for implantable or in-body applications or for continuous steam use, although it can be low pressure steam sterilized in-line or autoclaved at temperatures up to 250°F during a normal autoclaving cycle. If subjected to repeated steam sterilization or prolonged high temperature or pressure, the silicone may relax and become gummy, necessitating replacement. Applications for Silbrade include adhesive lines, beverage service, bottle filling, chemical feeds, deionized water transfer, fermenter lines, hot fill lines, food handling, laboratory use, resin feeds, stirring vessels, brewery beer hose lines, and viscous material handling.
