Silicon® Med-X NewAge Industries (Southampton, PA) manufactures Silicon® Med-X, silicone tubing that is platinum cured. This version offers the fewest number of extractables, which are compounds that can be drawn out of tubing and adversely affect the fluid flowing within. It also does not contain plasticizers that can leach out and cause flow contamination or tube hardening. Silicon Med-X is soft, pliable, and will not support bacteria growth. Sizes range from .030" to .625" I.D.
Improving extruded components requires careful attention to a number of factors, including dimensional tolerance, material selection, and processing. Trelleborg’s Dan Sanchez provides detailed insights into each of these considerations to help you advance your device innovations while reducing costs and speeding time to market.
