Food production lines, beverage filling systems, pharmaceutical fluid transfer — they all have one thing in common. The tubing touching the product has to be the right grade. Not just "silicone." The right grade.
Food-grade and FDA-compliant silicone tubing is non-toxic, odourless, and chemically inert. It won't leach into the fluid it carries. It withstands repeated steam sterilisation without degrading. It flexes without cracking and maintains its integrity across a wide temperature range.
Standard silicone tubing won't meet those requirements. General-purpose grades exist for non-contact applications — using them in a food or medical context is a compliance risk, not a cost saving.
Delta Rubber supplies food-grade, pharma-grade, and FDA-compliant silicone tubing in a full range of bore sizes. ISO 9001 certified. If you're speccing for a regulated process, we'll confirm the correct grade before you order.
