Is the Universal hose made of natural red rubber VERSILONâ¢ GSR STANDARD sterilizable by steam and ethylene oxide without degrading its properties?

Yes. The Universal hose made of natural red rubber VERSILONâ¢ GSR STANDARD is sterilizable by both steam and ethylene oxide without degrading its properties. The product description specifies steam sterilization for 30 minutes (1 bar, 141Â°C) and ethylene oxide compatibility; material is natural rubber (NR) with operating temperature up to +70Â°C (125Â°C for moist heat), and the hose is supplied from a Clean Room, supporting medical/lab suitability.

Can the Universal hose made of natural red rubber VERSILONâ¢ GSR STANDARD be used for food and pharmaceutical applications after sterilization?

Yes. Universal hose made of natural red rubber VERSILONâ¢ GSR STANDARD meets FDA requirements for food contact and can be sterilized by steam (30 min at 1 bar, 141Â°C) or ethylene oxide. It is produced in a Clean Room and is suitable for liquids and gases in industrial, laboratory, food and pharmaceutical applications, provided its specified operating temperature range (â30Â°C to +70Â°C, up to 125Â°C for moist heat) and working pressure (safety factor 1:5 vs. burst pressure) are respected. Ensure compatibility with your specific product and sterilization cycle before use.

Can the Universal hose made of natural red rubber VERSILONâ¢ GSR STANDARD withstand repeated flexing and abrasion in continuous industrial use?

Yes. Universal hose made of natural red rubber VERSILONâ¢ GSR STANDARD is formulated for repeated flexing and offers good abrasion resistance, making it suitable for continuous industrial use. Its softness (45Â° Shore A), flexibility and elasticity facilitate installation and repeated movement. The hose is explicitly described as abrasion resistant and has low gas permeability and good chemical resistance, supporting durability in industrial environments. Operational limits to consider: - Temperature range: -30Â°C to +70Â°C in general (up to 125Â°C for moist heat); brittleness at -40Â°C. - Working pressure is specified relative to burst pressure with a 1:5 safety factorâensure your applicationâs pressure stays within the rated working pressure. - Sterilization options and FDA food-contact compliance are noted, but verify compatibility if exposed to aggressive chemicals or extreme mechanical conditions beyond the stated specs. Conclusion: For typical industrial applications involving repeated flexing and abrasive conditions within the stated temperature and pressure limits, Universal hose made of natural red rubber VERSILONâ¢ GSR STANDARD is suitable.
