Its temperature resistance plus good electrical properties, coupled with the ability to self-extinguish, makes Silcon® an excellent choice for appliance and computer applications. Peroxide-cured Silcon® contains no sulfur or other acid-producing chemicals, thereby eliminating the possibility of staining, corroding, or deteriorating other materials it comes in contact with. Care is recommended in selecting fittings and clamps for Silcon® as sharp barbs or unlined metal clamps could tear into the wall and possibly cause a failure. Silcon® is not recommended for implantable or in-body uses or continuous steam applications. Silcon® 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. Not for use with fuels.
