Because the tubing and hose is available in more than one form (reinforced or unreinforced, platinum or peroxide cured, medical or non-medical grade), it meets the needs of several industries. The style that best fulfills the requirements of a particular application can be selected. For instance, tubing intended for use as a fluid drain may not need the purity of platinum curing, but one used for pharmaceutical product transfer may.

Silicone’s physical properties are what make it attractive in such diverse applications. It withstands both low and high temperatures (-100°F to 400°F); is odorless, tasteless, and inert; manufactured from non-toxic ingredients that meet USP Class VI, NSF-51, and FDA standards; and is sterilizable and reusable. Silicone tubing and hose is soft and extremely flexible with a smooth surface to resist sticking, encrustation, and bacteria growth.

NewAge Industries stocks various grades of silicone tubing in sizes ranging from .012” through 3/4” I.D.; reinforced hose for increased pressure applications from 1/8” to 1” I.D. All manufacturing is performed in a strictly controlled, white room environment, where individual coils of tubing and hose are heat-sealed in polybags for cleanliness prior to storage and shipment. Custom colors, sizes, lengths, fabrication and assemblies, JIT delivery, and packaging are available, as well as a unique reinforced silicone hose for suction applications.
