Benefit Of Electrically Conductive Silicone Rubber Tubing

Impressive biocompatibility, flexibility, wide temperature range stability and resistance to weathering are some of the key characteristics which make silicone rubber an ideal material for manufacturing rubber tubing. Although pure silicone is an electrical insulator, we can be your one-stop solution as one of the best conductive silicone tubing manufacturers and suppliers. With the help of some additives, the material can achieve some more attractive features like electrical conductivity, making it the best choice for many industrial applications.

How Pure Silicone is Made Electrically Conductive?

The electrically conductivity feature is enabled by adding carbon or other additives, to the raw material before the process of fabrication. The result is the super material that is used to manufacture Electrically Conductive Silicone Rubber Tubing. The material serves the purpose which is to prevent the build-up of static in Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) shielding. Moreover, it has many experimental and industrial applications. Extruded Silicone Rubber Tubing which is a result of the extrusion process gives highly pure and non-toxic material. This material is used in the manufacture of highly sophisticated components, especially for Medical purposes.

The soft silicone rubber tubing acts as insulators for high and low temperatures, with anti-aging and corrosion-resistant performance properties, to protect the bare wiring. It also prevents electrical outages.

Explore The Versatile Silicone Rubber Cord

What is Silicone Rubber Cord?

Silicone Rubber Cord is a synthetic elastomer made by blending the elements, carbon, oxygen, hydrogen. It finds its applications across various industries owing to its unique physical properties.

Types of Silicone Rubber Cord

Depending upon the flexibility and durability required, the uncured silicone rubber is treated under different methods and temperatures.

Solid Silicone Rubber (HTV) – To obtain this high-vulcanising rubber the silicone rubber needs to be cured at very high temperatures. It finds its use in various industrial sectors like

Automotive and Aerospace

Mechanical and Plant Engineering

Electrical Engineering

Consumer Goods and Food industry

Transmission and Distribution Cables

Health Care and Medical Technology

Construction

Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) – It is also a high-vulcanising rubber, a two-part compound, in the liquid state which needs to be cured along with a catalyst. It has low viscosity and a quick cycle time. Its versatility allows it to be appropriate for the most sensitive of sectors for making the medical industry.

Room Temperature Vulcanizing – This silicone rubber cures at room temperature. It can be manufactured both in one part and two-part compound form. Like LSR, this RTV also needs a catalyst tin platinum or peroxide for curing. RTVs are usually used to make silicone molds and casts.

Advantages Of Platinum Cured Silicone Tubing

For pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications platinum-cured silicone tubing is an outstanding choice for fluid transfer. It offers high-temperature resistance and fewer potential leachables. Silicone provides superior biocompatibility and chemical inertness to maintain the purity of sensitive fluids. This tubing also has flat exteriors and reduces protein binding levels.

Elastostar tubing is manufactured to extremely close tolerances that ensure accurate, repeatable flow and long tubing life. It is factory-tested and optically inspected. This platinum-cured silicone tubing has slightly better clarity than peroxide-cured tubing. Tubing available in cut to length. Available Wall Thickness range of tubing 0.010 inches to 0.750 inches. The smallest size we can extrude tubing from 0.020 inch ID x 0.050 inch OD.

Elastostar Rubber Corporation’s manufacture of Platinum Cured silicone Standard and custom size tubing complies with FDA CFR 177.2600 requirements for high-purity Silicone rubber tubing intended for repeated use. This part of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is reserved for rules established by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Section 177.2600 lists allowable materials such as elastomers and additives and sets the extraction limits.

Platinum cured silicones also comply with USP Class VI requirements for the biocompatibility of materials. used in medical devices and equipment. As part of the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP), USP Class VI is regarded as one of the most stringent requirements in medical device manufacturing. Platinum Cured silicones also comply with the European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2002/95/E.

What Is A Die Cutting Gasket? Applications Of Die Cut Gasket

What Is A Die Cutting Gasket?

As the term ‘gasket’ suggests, a die cutting gasket is meant for industrial purposes.

Let’s focus on the definition of die-cutting gaskets and know what it is.

Die cutting gasket basically plays the role of a seal in between two surfaces that are different from each other. When the bolt load is just enough, it creates a compressive force. Compressive force is the force that occurs when another physical force pushes an object inward so much that it results in the object to be compressed or compacted. This compression can last temporarily or permanently, depending on the type of material the force is being exerted on. There may be different results due to the amount and type of force exerted and the direction towards which the force is exerted.

This is where a die cutting gasket comes in use. The die cutting gasket seals the gap left between the two different surfaces. This gasket also possesses the characteristic of filling up the imperfections or flaws in the mating surfaces. This stands to act as an advantage since it helps in solving or erasing existing and potential defects and application errors.

As already mentioned, these die cutting gaskets are meant for industrial purposes. Few of them are listed down below:

Plumbing

Medical instruments

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers)

Commercial purposes and applications

Aerospace industry

Automotive

Agricultural purposes including irrigation

Electrical purposes involving lighting, electronics, etc

Controls and other gadgets like valves, bearings and pumps

Now, since we have already discussed briefly the definition and applications of die cutting gasket, let us talk about the characteristics of die cutting gaskets.
