Silicon-Schlauch TP Rot
Description / Construction
TP RED is a peroxide-cured silicon tubing with an inner reinforcement layer and a translucent or colored exterior cover for high-temperature usages. This reinforcement provides a high pressure resistance.
The table “Specifications” (see reverse page) provides an overview regarding feasible dimensions as well as technical data and reinforcement types. Standard color is red – other colors may be available upon request. A minimum order of 100 m applies for dimensions that are not kept as bulk stock.
Based on the nominal sizes, the following reinforcement materials (fabric) are being used. Polyester monofilaments (PES Mono up to +160 °C), Polyester yarn (up to +160 °C) and glass silk yarn (up to +180 °C). In addition, an reinforcement made of Aramid fibers (up to +180 °C) can also be provided upon request. 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, breakage by movement faster occurs with glass silk than with Polyester, but, on the other hand, it is recommended for higher temperature exposure. In total, Aramid fibers demonstrate the best properties.
Properties of Pressure Tubing Reinforcements
Reinforcement | Designation Presentation | Textile | Temperature Resistance |
PES-MF | Polyester multifilament (PET) | Yarn | Up to 160 °C |
PES-Mono | Polyester monofilament (PET) | Monofil | Up to 160 °C |
Glass silk | E-glass | Yarn | Up to 180 °C |
Aramid | Aramid fiber | Yarn | Up to 180 °C |
All TP RED tubing is
- Tasteless and odorless
- Free from plasticizers
- Physiologically and toxicologically harmless
- Excellent resistance to weather, aging and light..
Primary application of TP RED tubing applies to the beverage and food industry, packaging industry (filling plants), machine and plant construction as well as electric industry (cooling systems).
Chemical Resistance
TP RED tubing is suitable for the transfer of almost all food materials, pharmaceutical media, weak acids or alkaline solutions, polar solvents, many alcohols, phenol, ozone and oxygen. Higher molecular weight non-polar hydrocarbons may cause swelling. Permanent steam exposure accelerates the aging process. A compatibility list as well as information regarding “steam and silicon” can be found at www.tecnoplast.de.
Temperature Resistance
TP RED tubing can be used in a temperature range of -60 °C to +180 °C (depending on the reinforcement). For further information please refer to the table “Properties of Pressure Tubing Reinforcements”.
Specifications
Nominal sizes of ID 3-50 mm are available. TP RED tubing is available in 60-75 Shore hardness (product-depending). Routine production is based on materials that meet the following requirements (applicable only to interior tubing if colored exterior cover is used):
- BfR XV Silicone
- FDA 21 CFR 177.2600
- USP Class VI
For technical properties please refer to the table on the reverse page. Typical mean values are provided there. Information regarding utilization and storage conditions can be found at www.tecnoplast.de.
