Description
Its temperature resistance plus good electrical properties, coupled with the ability to self-extinguish, makes Silcon® an excellent choice for appliance and computer applications. Peroxide-cured Silcon® contains no sulfur or other acid-producing chemicals, thereby eliminating the possibility of staining, corroding, or deteriorating other materials with which it comes in contact. Care is recommended in the selection of fittings and clamps for Silcon® as sharp barbs, or unlined metal clamps could tear into the wall and possibly cause a failure. Silcon® is not suitable for implantable or in-body uses or continuous steam applications. Silcon® may be low-pressure steam-sterilized in-line or autoclaved at up to 250°F in a normal autoclaving cycle. However, if exposed to repeated steam sterilization or long-term high temperature or pressure, silicone will eventually relax and become gummy. It should then be replaced. Not for use with fuels.
