Product information
Our platinum-cured silicone hose reinforced with SS 316L helical wire is engineered for demanding applications requiring both high pressure resistance and vacuum capability. The platinum curing process ensures exceptional purity, while the embedded stainless steel wire provides outstanding strength, dimensional stability, and kink resistance.
Key features
- Platinum-cured silicone — ultra-pure, odourless, and inert
- SS 316L helical wire — enhances structural strength, vacuum rating, and flexibility without collapse
- High vacuum capability — up to 780 mm Hg (size dependent)
- Excellent temperature range — from −60 °C to +200 °C
- Corrosion-resistant — 316L stainless steel wire for long life in aggressive environments
- Food and pharma safe — meets FDA and USP Class VI compliance

Sizes and ratings as published in the Makvin Polymer brochure. “NA” = not rated for vacuum. “C/P” = custom parameter, supplied on request.
Values are for standard silicone grades as published by Makvin Polymer. Exact dimensions, tolerance, durometer and compliance are confirmed against your specification at quotation.
- High-vacuum fluid transfer systems
- Pharmaceutical production lines
- Food and beverage suction and discharge
- Chemical transfer where flexibility and strength are critical
- Technical Specifications:
Datasheets, material declarations (FDA / USP Class VI), RoHS/REACH statements and dimensional drawings for this product are issued on request with your quotation.
Request documentationPlatinum-cured silicone is addition-cured — odourless, low in extractables and preferred for medical, pharmaceutical and high-purity food contact. Peroxide-cured silicone is a robust, cost-effective choice for industrial and non-critical transfer. We supply both and will advise the right grade for your process.
Yes. Most items are produced to your drawing — bore/OD, wall, length, cross-section, durometer and colour. Send dimensions with your quote request.
Depending on the grade selected: FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, USP Class VI, ISO 10993, EU 1935/2004 food-contact, RoHS and REACH statements, plus batch material certificates and dimensional reports.
Sampling quantities are available for evaluation. Production MOQ depends on the profile/tool; we confirm it with the quotation.
Stocked lines ship within a few working days. Custom extrusions and moulded parts are typically confirmed per order after drawing sign-off.
