Silicone is ideally suited for applications where strength, durability, long-life and non-reactivity with bodily fluids and skin are of primary importance.
Liquid silicone is particularly well suited for medical applications, and has the following advantages over peroxide cured silicone rubber:
- Superior clarity
- Chemically inert
- Smoother inner wall which results in less protein binding
- No contamination from peroxide residues
- Suitable for autoclaving or dry heat sterilisation
- Will operate at temperatures from -80°C to 200°C
