Open mesh polyester braiding incorporated within the wall of silicone tubing. Translucent natural color for visual contact with the flow. It offers far higher pressure capabilities than similarly-sized unreinforced silicone tubing. The flexible design and construction allows excellent bend radii and permits installation in restricted spaces without impeding flow. A peroxide-cured product contains no sulfur or other acid-producing chemicals, thereby eliminating the possibility of staining, corroding, or deteriorating other materials it contacts. Care is recommended in the selection of fittings and clamps, as sharp barbed fittings or unlined metal clamps could tear into the hose wall and possibly cause a failure, especially at elevated pressures. It is not recommended for implantable or in-body uses or continuous steam applications. It may be low-pressure steam-sterilized in-line or autoclaved at up to 250°F in a normal autoclaving cycle. However, if exposed to repeated steam sterilization or long-term high temperature or pressure, silicone will eventually relax and become gummy. It should then be replaced.
