Is VERSITECâ¢ silicone hose compatible with steam, ethylene oxide, and radiation sterilization methods without degrading its properties?

Yes. VERSITECâ¢ silicone hose, made from translucent silicone and manufactured with hydrogen peroxide enhancement technology, is compatible with steam, ethylene oxide, and radiation sterilization methods without degrading its properties. The product description explicitly lists sterilization by steam, ethylene oxide, or radiation and notes resistance to UV, oxygen, and ozone, indicating robustness against common sterilization stresses. Its material properties (Shore A 57 hardness, density 1.15 g/cmÂ³) and wide operating temperature range (â50Â°C to +200Â°C, temporarily up to +220Â°C) further support suitability for thermal and radiation-based processes. Additionally, meeting FDA and BfR requirements implies compliance with relevant safety and material stability standards for sterilizable applications.

Does VERSITECâ¢ silicone hose meet FDA and BfR requirements for food and medical contact applications?

Yes. VERSITECâ¢ silicone hose meets FDA and BfR requirements for food and medical contact applications. It is manufactured using hydrogen peroxide enhancement technology, is resistant to UV, oxygen and ozone, and can be sterilized by steam, ethylene oxide, or radiation. The hose is made of translucent silicone (57Â° Shore A, density 1.15 g/cmÂ³) and operates from â50Â°C to +200Â°C (temporarily up to +220Â°C), making it suitable for food and medical use.
