More resilient than latex rubber, this silicone rubber tubing can stand up to high-temperature applications. Commonly used with metering (peristaltic) pumps and robotics, it can handle continuous bending and flexing and maintains its flexibility over time.

Opaque tubing doesn’t allow you to see what’s flowing through the line. Semi-clear tubing gives you a limited view inside the line.
