Colorful FDA Silicone Tubing

Colorful FDA silicone tubing is extruded from pure silicone and platinum cured for flexible fluid, air, appliance, electronic, coffee-machine, and specified medical applications. Available size designations range from 13# to 92#, with custom sizes, colors, and 30–80 Shore A hardness options. The listed operating temperature range is -50°C to +200°C.

Product Overview

Colorful FDA silicone tubing has a continuous hollow round profile manufactured by extrusion and platinum curing. The size range is 13# to 92#, while the actual inner diameter, outer diameter, wall thickness, and supplied length can be customized. Available hardness ranges from 30 to 80 Shore A. Different colors support visual identification of separate fluid, air, or equipment lines. The tubing can be evaluated for electronics, small household appliances, coffee machines, specified medical equipment, and compatible food-contact systems. Listed supporting documentation includes FDA, LFGB, and RoHS test reports. Final suitability depends on the selected size, color, compound, contact medium, operating pressure, connection method, cleaning conditions, and applicable compliance requirements.

Product Specifications

Applications

Colorful FDA silicone tubing can be installed between compatible fittings, pumps, valves, reservoirs, dispensers, and other equipment connection points. Potential uses include liquid or air routing in coffee machines, food-contact equipment, small household appliances, electronic assemblies, and specified medical equipment. Different colors can identify separate media, circuits, equipment zones, or maintenance lines. For electrical applications, the listed dielectric and flame-resistance parameters should be checked against the finished tubing specification. Medical use requires separate confirmation of the applicable regulatory, cleanliness, biocompatibility, and sterilization requirements. The tubing dimensions, pressure conditions, fitting retention, bend requirements, and contact media must be reviewed before installation.

Material and Performance Considerations

The confirmed material is pure silicone, processed by extrusion and platinum curing. The listed operating temperature range is -50°C to +200°C, but application suitability also depends on exposure duration, pressure, bending, contact media, and connection design. The 250°C for five-day aging condition is a listed test condition and should not be interpreted as the continuous operating temperature. Each pigment and finished tubing specification should be checked against the required FDA, LFGB, RoHS, electrical, or flame-resistance documentation. Compatibility with oils, concentrated chemicals, steam, cleaning agents, and sterilization processes must be evaluated for the actual service conditions.

Customization and Manufacturing

The tubing is manufactured as a continuous extruded profile and platinum cured. Available size designations range from 13# to 92#, while custom dimensions can be evaluated from a 2D specification, mating fitting, or physical sample. Custom variables include inner diameter, outer diameter, wall thickness, Shore A hardness, color, tolerance, supplied length, cutting, coiling, and packaging. The requested flow rate, working pressure, bend radius, fitting design, contact medium, and compliance basis should be provided before the final specification is selected. Prototype samples can be evaluated for dimensional fit, flexibility, connection retention, surface condition, color consistency, and compatibility with the intended equipment.

Quality and Sourcing Considerations

Before ordering, confirm the actual tubing dimensions rather than relying only on the 13#–92# size designations. The purchase specification should identify the silicone grade, hardness, color, dimensional tolerance, supplied length, contact medium, operating temperature, pressure, connection method, and required documentation. Agreed inspection items may include inner diameter, outer diameter, wall thickness, hardness, surface condition, color consistency, profile continuity, cuts, deformation, and batch identification. The scope of FDA, LFGB, RoHS, UL 224 VW-1, mechanical, and electrical data should be verified for the selected tubing and color. Packaging requirements should prevent contamination, crushing, sharp bends, and surface damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes are available for colorful FDA silicone tubing?

The listed size designation range is 13# to 92#, and custom sizes are available. Because these designations do not provide the complete physical dimensions, the required inner diameter, outer diameter, wall thickness, supplied length, and dimensional tolerance should be confirmed before quotation or production.

What Shore A hardness can be supplied?

The available hardness range is 30–80 Shore A. Selection should consider the required flexibility, bend behavior, fitting retention, clamping force, wall thickness, pressure, and installation method. The chosen hardness should be evaluated together with the tubing dimensions rather than specified independently.

Is the silicone tubing platinum cured?

Yes. The confirmed manufacturing process uses extrusion and platinum curing. The required compound, pigment, surface condition, post-processing, and applicable food-contact documentation should still be defined for each order, particularly when multiple colors or specialized operating conditions are required.

What is the operating temperature range?

The listed operating temperature range is -50°C to +200°C. Actual suitability depends on exposure time, contact medium, pressure, bending, cleaning process, and installation conditions. The separate 250°C aging condition is a test condition and does not extend the listed continuous operating range.

Are FDA, LFGB, RoHS, and flame-resistance documents available?

The supplied parameters list FDA, LFGB, and RoHS test reports and a UL 224 VW-1 flame-resistance classification. The exact report scope, test method, material grade, color coverage, and applicability to the finished tubing specification should be confirmed before ordering.

Are samples, tooling, MOQ, and lead time available?

Sample availability, tooling requirements, MOQ, and lead time are available upon request. These details depend on the selected dimensions, hardness, color, tolerance, compliance requirements, supplied length, packaging, and order quantity. A prototype sample can be evaluated before mass production when required.

Request Product Evaluation

Provide the required tubing dimensions, Shore A hardness, color, contact medium, operating temperature, pressure, fitting design, compliance requirements, supplied length, and estimated quantity. A dimensional specification, mating fitting, or physical sample will support material review, extrusion evaluation, prototype preparation, and an accurate quotation.
