Product Use and Characteristics:
These tubes are used for transporting liquid or semi-liquid products
by suction or impulsion. They are manufactured from silicone
elastomers prepared in compliance with the FDA (Food & Drug
Administration) 21 CFR 177.2600 and USP Class VI standards in the
United States and the FDA-BfR Part XV standard in Germany.
Documentation of these certifications can be provided upon request.
All tubes are manufactured with platinum-cured silicone, the highest
quality in today’s market and in accordance with the ISO 9002 standard.
Silicone Properties:
This elastomer is inalterable, odorless, non-sticky, and
water repellent. It can be sterilized with argon, cobalt, or steam
(within a maximum recommended time of 1h 30 min. at 140°C/
284°F), and is completely non-toxic. The composition includes
components such as silicone, talc, and quartz, as well as additional
loads authorized by the FDA.
The raw material has been prepared by our suppliers for operation
without alterations at temperatures ranging from -80°C to +240°C
(-112ºF to +464ºF). Original lot numbers of raw materials are
readily verifiable.
Platinum-cured:
VENAIR Technosil’s peroxide-free platinum-cured silicone tubes are
highly recommended for pharmaceutical and food processing
applications. These tubes ensure more hygienic conditions since,
upon curing, the chromatographic phase is of higher purity than that
found in tubes with peroxide catalysis-- a prime characteristic
important in the pharmaceutical sector.
SZR1 system:
Thus, VENAIR Technosil flexible silicone tubes are highly
recommended where stringent aseptic conditions are required. The
tubes can be joined by 316L stainless steel fittings equipped with the
SZR system. The SZR system eliminates an area of possible
contamination, thus facilitating Cleaning in Place (CIP). As a result,
tubes equipped with these 316L stainless steel fittings do not need
to be disassembled for cleaning.
Sectors of Use:
Due to its versatility, and its ability to be used in suction or impulsion
(pressure or vacuum), VENAIR Technosil flexible silicone tubes are
advantageous in the following sectors as well:
• Food Processing
• Cosmetics Processing
• Pharmaceutical Processing
NOT AUTHORIZED FOR USE IN MEDICINAL APPLICATIONS.
These flexible silicone tubes can also withstand extreme
temperatures, conserving their mechanical properties at
temperatures ranging from -60°C (-76°F) to +200°C ( +392°F).
Upon request, silicone tubes with more extreme resistance can be
manufactured. These include our PVMQ silicone for very low
temperatures (-100°C/ -148°F) and THT silicone for very high
temperatures (+300°C/ +572°F)
