Silicone Hoses for Medical Technology
Silicone hoses are among the most versatile products for medical technology. They are characterized by excellent biocompatibility, high temperature resistance, and chemical resistance. Reichelt Chemietechnik offers a wide range of silicone tubing solutions for medical applications – from standard versions and pump hoses to specialty products for pressure applications and analytics. This group includes silicone/THOMASIL/silicone rubber tubing that is FDA-compliant, BfR-compliant, and USP-compliant and likewise meets the requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia. These variants are tensile-strength, tear-resistant, and durable. They are completely tasteless, odorless, and physiologically harmless; they are fully body-compatible without any change in lumen. Depending on the type, the Shore hardness ranges from A 50° to A 60° according to DIN 53505. The temperature resistance, i.e. the working temperature, is -55 °C to +220 °C, with short-term exposure possible up to +250 °C.
The silicone micro spaghetti tubing for analytical technology features a Shore hardness of A 62° according to DIN 53505. It is exceptionally resistant to acids and alkaline solutions. Also noteworthy is the silicone pharmaceutical pressure hose with glass silk reinforcement, which has a Shore hardness of A 70° according to DIN 53505 and, depending on the dimension, is available for pressure ranges from 7.5 bar to 20 bar at +20 °C.
Pharmaceutical color-coded chemical tubing also complies with the applicable guidelines and is produced in yellow, blue, black, white, violet, orange, red, and green
colors. It is characterized by special heat and high-temperature resistance as well as excellent cold resistance. The silicone/THOMASIL product is autoclavable at +136 °C and suitable for hot-air sterilization at +200 °C.
Pump hoses for medical technology are offered with a Shore hardness of A 55° according to DIN 53505. The THOMASIL variant consists of particularly high-quality extruded and vulcanized silicone elastomer. Also available are platinum-cured silicone tubing in inch-based dimensions, which can be used permanently within temperature ranges from -51 °C to +232 °C. Pump versions with 2 and 3 stoppers and an inner diameter from 0.64 mm to 3 mm are also available, with a total length of 406 mm and a stopper spacing of approx. 152 mm.
Silicone high-temperature pharmaceutical pressure tubing is highly flexible despite its PETP pressure carrier. Furthermore, the special compound is GMP-compliant.

Tygon®/PVC Hose Variants for Medical Technology
These versions are among the most proven products for medical technology when high chemical resistance, excellent transparency, and good processing properties are required. The cross-linked PVC tubing of the Tygon® brand has been specially developed for use in surgery, heart-lung machines, as well as for analytical and pharmaceutical applications. The range also includes cross-linked Tygon®/PVC variants that offer particularly high chemical resistance, especially against acids and alkalis. Tygon® medical tubing is designed for surgery and medical technology as well as for use in heart-lung machines. These products ensure a long service life due to high material density, which simultaneously guarantees high gas tightness and extremely low permeability. The tubing is crystal clear and absolutely flexible. The Shore hardness is A 65° according to DIN 53505, with a temperature range from –10 °C to +74 °C.
Tygon® pump hoses with 2 stoppers are autoclavable at +121 °C and are supplied with riders at a spacing of 152 mm, with a total length of 406 mm. The working temperature is specified as -45 °C to +65 °C, with short-term exposure permitted up to +85 °C. The tubing is crystal clear, allowing easy monitoring of media transport.
Tygon® micro analytical tubing also belongs to this product group, with inner diameters selectable from 0.25 mm to 1.27 mm. It features a Shore hardness of A 80° according to DIN 53505. This specialty product demonstrates a long service life, as it neither ages nor oxidizes. Its use is particularly recommended in surgery and medical technology.
In detail, the following Tygon® products are included:
- Tygon® micro analytical hose
- Tygon® hose for medical technology
