Coloured Silicone vacuum Tubing
Our coloured vacuum silicone tubing is stocked in 70 Shore A hardness and comes in a variety of useful sizes and colours including white, blue, red, black, orange, green, yellow and metallic black (Glimmersil).
Sizes up to 10mm bore can be used for vacuum applications, where larger bores tend to be used for dressing up cable harness assemblies.
These tubes are safe for contact with food, being compliant to FDA 177.2600 and EC 1935/2004 standards. Other uses include low pressure solar installations where our tubing is used to circulate water through the solar systems.
Other colours are available on request.
