Silicone Dairy Tubing
MVQ platinum cured silicone ‘dairy tubing’ is ideal for use in the dairy industry due to its high mechanical wear and excellent tear strength characteristics.
Platinum curing offers a number of advantages over peroxide curing, such as being non-yellowing with no peroxide by-products. Unlike conventional black rubber tubing often used for milking, MVQ platinum cured tube does not harden and corrode with use. This extremely durable product is made using highly polished dies to create an extra smooth inner bore to improve flow rate and hygiene levels.
This product is stocked in 70° Shore A Hardness inner diameters of 7mm to 38mm, with twin tubes also available in 7 or 8mm inside.
