Features of Silicone Hose & Tubing
Colex Silicone hose and tubing has the ability to withstand extreme temperature variations. It also has good electrical and weatherability properties and is ideal for food, beverage and a wide range of industrial applications.

All Colex Silicone hose and tubing is manufactured from raw materials with FDA approval for use with food contact applications. Silicone hose is odourless, tasteless and inert which makes it particularly suitable for use with foodstuffs and beverage lines.

Silicone hose and tubing has the ability to self-extinguish making it an excellent choice for appliances and computers.

A smooth bore ensures excellent flow rates, whilst the translucent colour allows for full visibility of the flow of the hose contents. Silicone is resilient, stretchable and resistant to compression set.

A flexible design and lightweight construction creates an excellent bend radii and permits installation in restricted spaces, without impeding the flow of the hose contents.

The Colex Silicone range contains no sulphur or other acid producing chemicals. This eliminates the possibility of staining, corroding or deteriorating any other materials it comes into contact with.

Silicone hose and tubing is also resistant to ozone and UV over long periods of time.

The Colex Silicone range may be low pressure steam sterilized in-line or auto-claved at up to 120ºC in a normal autoclaving cycle. However it should be noted that when exposed to repeated steam sterilization or long term high pressure or temperature, silicone will eventually relax and become gummy. It should then be replaced.

Colex Reinforced Silbrade® is Shore A 70 whilst Colex Unreinforced Silcon® is Shore A 50.

Reinforced Silbrade® is supplied printed with the product name, id, od, working temperature, NSF 51, for ease of identification and use. Silcon® is unprinted.

All Colex Silicone hose and tubing is supplied labeled and bagged in 30 metre coils for ease of identification and to ensure it stays dust free before use.

Colex Silbrade is reinforced with a high quality 1000 denier polyester fibre yarn making it suitable for a variety of industrial applications, particularly where pressure carrying capabilities are required.
