HelixMark®  Standard silicone tubing meets the needs of a broad spectrum of applications and are universally applicable for the transfer of fluids under standard requirements. The tubing is offered in two types of silicone (Dow Corning Silastic 50 Shore A and Wacker Elastosil 60 Shore A) and is individually packed in pre-cut lengths of 15 m.

Ideal for increased pressure or high temperatures - HelixMark® braided reinforced tubing is designed and manufactured especially for applications with higher pressures. Pressure-proof polyester braiding, firmly embedded between two layers of silicone, lends this tubing its particularly durability and resistense to pressure. The tubing is individually packaged in pre-cut lengths of 7.5 m.

HelixMark® Braided Reinforced Tubing can be sterilized by autoclave, ethylene oxide, or gamma radiation within the user’s validated cycles and exposure levels.

Typical hardness: 65 Shore A.
