Why Use Platinum-Cured Silicone Tubing? www.himsanpolymer.com For pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications , platinum-cured silicone tubing is an exceptional choice for fluid transfer. It offers high temperature resistance and fewer potential leachables. Silicone provides excellent bio-compatibility and chemical inertness to maintain the purity of sensitive fluids. This tubing also has smooth surfaces and lower protein binding levels. When used in a Himsan's peristaltic pump, platinum-cured silicone tubing delivers optimal performance. It is resistant to tearing and kinking. Himsan Polymer's tubing is manufactured to extremely close tolerances that ensure accurate, repeatable flow and long tubing life. It is factory-tested and optically inspected. This platinum-cured silicone tubing has slightly better clarity than peroxide-cured tubing. Flow ranges are approximate—calculated under the following conditions: 0 psig at inlet, 0.5 psig at
