Available now from NewAge Industries are moulded silicone components said to be ideally suited for medical, laboratory, research and development, biomedical, and pharmaceutical applications.
The components consist of tubing and hose assemblies, stoppers, and sealing systems for medical devices, bottles, laboratory equipment, and process and storage containers.
Moulded silicone components are custom made to drawings and specifications from Class VI silicone elastomer that meets FDA standards for the utmost in purity.
Manufactured in-house in a controlled environment, silicone components offer several advantages, such as longer life expectancy and more consistent performance than parts made from other rubber or similar materials, plus resistance to cracking and particle migration, says NewAge.
The components are autoclavable, sterilisable, and reusable and offer excellent chemical resistance properties.
Temperature usage ranges from 38C to 200C.
More specifically, moulded silicone tubing and hose assemblies eliminate entrapment, flow issues, and leaks associated with barb-style fittings, says the company.
The all-in-one parts reduce end-user assembly time and improve cleanliness.
Assemblies are manufactured with moulded mini or standard tri-clamp fitting styles and have gaskets molded directly to the face of the fitting.
Protective polysulphone or stainless steel backing cups offer a stable clamping surface and safeguard the fittings during installation and use.
Manifolds and integrated assemblies of tubing with moulded Y, T, and X connectors can also be manufactured.
Moulded silicone bottle stoppers and sealers provide smooth, gap-free surfaces for true seals and work with receptacles of glass, metal, or plastic.
Available with cored holes for tubing or vents, they are used with various types of containers - flexible bag systems, laboratory apparatus, carboys, sampling and storage units.
Other silicone components can be custom manufactured to specifications, and colours or special markings for identification purposes are available.
