Description
The Thermo Scientific 8060-3182 Platinum-Cured Tubing is a high-purity silicone tubing designed for critical fluid transfer applications in various laboratory and industrial settings. This tubing has a 13 mm inner diameter (ID), making it suitable for transferring moderate to large volumes of liquids or gases.
A key characteristic of this tubing is its platinum-cured silicone construction. Platinum curing is a process that results in a very pure silicone material, free from peroxide by-products, which could potentially leach into the fluid stream. This ensures minimal extractables and reduced risk of contamination, making it ideal for sensitive applications in biopharmaceutical, food and beverage, and medical industries. Silicone tubing is known for its flexibility, excellent temperature resistance (typically -50°C to 200°C), and good chemical compatibility with a wide range of non-corrosive fluids. The “50 silicone tubing” refers to the durometer hardness of the silicone, with 50 being a common softness that balances flexibility with durability.
This Thermo Scientific platinum-cured silicone tubing provides a reliable, biocompatible, and versatile solution for various fluid handling needs, including peristaltic pump applications, sterile filling, and general liquid transfer.
