When your application operates under stress and demands absolute reliability, our 13x18mm heavy-duty silicone tube is the uncompromising solution. Featuring a substantial 2.5mm wall, this tube is engineered not just to transfer fluids, but to withstand the rigors of industrial environments, moderate pressure, and vacuum conditions without failure.
Core Advantages:
Uncompromising Durability: The extra-thick 2.5mm wall provides exceptional resistance to abrasion, tearing, and physical impact. This is the tube you choose when reliability is non-negotiable and service life needs to be maximized.
Superior Pressure & Vacuum Resistance: Unlike standard tubing, this robust construction resists collapsing under negative pressure, making it ideal for vacuum lines. It also maintains its integrity under moderate positive pressure pulses, ensuring consistent performance.
Virtually Kink-Proof: The inherent rigidity from its thick wall means this tube holds its shape and resists kinking even on larger bends. This guarantees a clear, unobstructed flow path in permanent and semi-permanent installations.
Excellent Thermal Insulation: The thick silicone wall acts as a natural insulator, helping to maintain the temperature of the fluid being transferred—whether hot or cold—and protecting surrounding components from temperature extremes.
Certified Purity for Critical Processes: Despite its industrial strength, this tube is produced from 100% platinum-cured silicone, meeting FDA and LFGB standards. It is completely non-toxic and inert, safe for food-grade applications, pharmaceutical use, and sensitive material handling.

Prime Applications:
Built for the most demanding scenarios where strength is key:
Industrial Machinery & Automation: Perfect for coolant lines, lubrication feeds, and pneumatic control lines in environments with vibration, heat, and potential for physical contact.
Vacuum Systems: The ideal choice for connecting vacuum pumps, running vacuum manifolds, and for use in degassing chambers where collapse resistance is critical.
High-Traffic Food & Beverage Lines: Use in processing plants for transfer lines that are frequently handled, run across floors, or subject to harsh cleaning cycles.
Abrasive Media Transfer: Excellently suited for transferring slurries, powders, and granular materials in low-pressure systems due to its high abrasion resistance.
Heavy-Duty Protective Jacketing: Provides an incredibly tough, insulating, and electrically non-conductive sleeve for protecting critical wire harnesses, hydraulic lines, and sensor cables in harsh environments.
