SILVAC offers the excellent temperature resistance of silicone in a vacuum-rated hose (29.9 in./Hg at 70F). The hose construction allows strong vacuum at elevated temperatures (sample testing is recommended). SILVAC is made of man­drel-wrapped layers of polyester-rein­forced silicone elaslomer incorporated around a spiral-wound reinforced wire.

Each SILVAC length is individually packaged in a heat-sealed polybag. Platinum curing (for reduced extractables) is available through minimum order.

SILVAC may be low-pressure steam sterilized in-line or autoclaved at up to 250°F in a normal autoclaving cycle. Its smooth bore facilitates easy cleaning and system purging. (However, if exposed to repeated steam sterilization or long-term high temperature or pressure, silicone will eventually relax, become gummy, and should be replaced.)

Note: Care is recommended in the selection and application of fittings and clamps. Sharp, barbed Fittings or unlined metal clamps could tear into the hose wall and cause possible failure.
