Silicon Tubing A6093 / AE6093 / AES6093 (EN)

Silicon Tubing A6093 / AE6093 / AES6093

TECNO PLAST provides three different Silicon qualities in its product portfolio. All three qualities exhibit multiple advantageous properties that considerably exceed those of common natural rubber and plastic-derived material types.

TP RED peroxide-cured with reinforcement (see TP RED)
A6092 platinum-cured, transparent pharma quality (see A6092)
AE6093 platinum-cured, transparent pharma quality The production of these tubing is performed by extrusion technology.

The HTV (HTV = high temperature cross-linked) silicon material is brought into the desired shape with the aid of an extruder and a suitable spray washer.

A succeeding post-vulcanization step of at least 4 hours at +200 °C is usually performed in annealing furnaces with a continuous supply of fresh air for the removal of cleavage products.

In general, silicon can be cured by two different methods, ether using peroxides or by an addition reaction = platinum curing.

In contrast to peroxide-cured tubing, platiunum-cured silicon tubing exhibit a particularly high purity. Peroxide-cured silicon tubing is produced by curing of the silicone starting material with 2,4 dichlorobenzoyl peroxide and succeeding tempering to remove potential catalyst-based cleavage products from the end product. However, despite of appropriate tempering, minimum residual amounts of peroxide-originated cleavage products from the catalyst may remain in the tubing and, thus, may migrate from the tubing.

This problem does not apply to platinum-cured tubing. For this reason, primarily platinum-cured tubing has been used in pharmaceutical operations, medicinal techniques as well as in biotechnology.

Advantageous properties that clearly cannot be reached by common natural or other plastic-derived material types:

Excellent hot air resistance up to +200 °C (special ivory quality up to +300 °C)
A virtually extremely low variation of properties over a wide temperature range
Excellent resistance to cold up to -60 °C.

Highly flexible.
Excellent resistance to aging and weathering (UV, ozone).
Good resistance to weak acidic and alkaline solutions.
Odor and taste neutral.
Toxicologically harmless.
Free from plasticizers.
Physiologically inert.
Can be sterilized (steam, irradiation).

Specific explanation regarding steam sterilization can be found here.

In addition, further supporting information regarding the subject silicon is provided there:

Silicon storage conditions and usage durations.
Silicon resistance list

In addition to silicon tubing without fabric lining, the standard product range also contains reinforced silicon tubing.

Common reinforcements are polyester monofilament (PET), polyester yarn (PET), glass silk or Aramid.

Temperature Resistance

AE6093 silicon tubing with reinforcement can be used in the temperature range of -60 +180 °C. Maximum usage temperatures are also dependent on the reinforcement type

Properties of Textile Reinforcements (Fabric)

Dependent on the nominal size the following reinforcements (fabrics) can be used by default:

Polyester yarn (up to +160 °C), Polyester monofilaments (up to +160 °C) as well as glass silk yarn (up to +180 °C).

A reinforcement made of Aramid fibers (up to +180 °C) can also be provided. The suitability of the reinforcement is primarily dependent on the temperature and/or movement. Glass silk demonstrates a lower dynamic load capacity than Polyester, whereas the tensile strength of glass silk and Polyester is virtually identical. However, brakeage by movement faster occurs with glass silk than with Polyester, but, on the other hand, is recommended for higher temperature exposure. In total, Aramid fibers demonstrate the best properties; however, a restricted UV resistance at direct sunlight exposure applies.

Solely AE6093 tubing with PES yarn reinforcement can be provided for swaging with TECNO PLAST fitting swage system.

TECNO PLAST has developed its own fitting program for the utilization with the tubing quality AE6093. Virtually all fittings are provided as a finished end product. If not otherwise desired, TECNO PLAST performs a 100% pressure hold test with tap water by applying the 1.5-fold operation pressure.

Connections are made under consideration of hygienic aspects in order to minimize residues in the fitting areas.

The material consists of stainless steel 1.4404/1.4435, other materials can be provided upon request.

Standard surface finish Ra < 0.8 μm, optionally available also as electro-polished finish up to Ra 0.2 μm.

RE-LINK SI/TO und SI: The Program

In addition to the possibility of connecting AE6093 tubing with press fittings, also re-usable fittings for self-installation by the customer are available.

The re-usable RE-LINK SI/TO fitting program has been developed for the connection with silicon tubing without reinforcement.

Information regarding suitable tubing coils can be found on page 4

However, the re-usable RE-LINK SI program is intended to be used with silicon tubing with a special reinforcement (AES6093, page 12).

The jackets for these programs are composed of stainless steel 1.4301 (standard). These can be found on the opposite page. Other materials, for example 1.4435 BN2 are available upon request.

All suitable tools, jackets and fittings intended to be used with the appropriate mounting apparatus are identified by a symbol.

= RE-LINK SI/TO = RE-LINK SI

Assembly and disassembly of both programs is performed on a manual stainless steel assembly/disassembly board.

All assembly and disassembly tools are secured by a locking pin to prevent unintentional removal from the board. The closures of assembly and disassembly tools are also equipped with securing systems.

All spare parts are laser-engraved with the above shown symbols, thus, interchanging is not possible. In addition, these parts and the fittings are identified by homologous digits (description of the spanner flat).

Mounting instructions and a motion picture for both programs can be requested from TECNO PLAST or downloaded (https://tecnoplast.de).

Re-usable Fitting System for Silicon Tubing without Reinforcement (Fabric) Type A6093

TECNO PLAST has developed a new fitting system to significantly enhance the mounting of silicon tubing. It allows a simple, fast and secure usage for assembly and disassembly. An appropriate mounting aid will effectively assist you in assembly and disassembly operations. RE-LINK IS/TO is pending patent application.

This system has been especially developed for the utilization in pharmaceutical and biotechnological operations. The connection is pressure-resistant up to 2 bars, whereas, in accordance with DIN 26055 Part 2, Type 1, a lower operating pressure for silicon tubing bulk stock without reinforcement applies. (E DIN EN 16821:2015:03).

Fitted tubing can be autoclaved and may be cleaned easily.

Special emphasis has been taken on the construction to consider the “deap spot” concern to the entire system – in particular regarding the hose nozzle area (transition from filling to tubing interior).

In addition to Tri-Clamp connections according to DIN 32676, also all other common sterile connections can be provided upon request, for example, Aseptic Screwed Union or screwed pipe connections according to DIN 11864.

The standard fitting material is 1.4435; however, also other materials such as PVDF, titan or Hastelloy alloying are possible.

The product-contacting surface is RY < 0.8 μm, other electropolished finishes can be provided upon request.

Fittings are identified (batch tracing) and, in accordance with EN 10204 – 3.1, may be confirmed by material quality certificates that also reflects the surface roughness.

In order to eliminate false use of product tubing, different colored marks can be used, e.g., on tubing exterior, on jackets or fittings.

The following dimensions are available for this system
Inner diameter x wall thickness
mm	mm
3,0 x 1,0	9,6 x 3,2
4,0 x 2,0	10,0 x 2,5
