Versilon™ SPT-70 FB IB

Reinforced Silicone Food & Beverage Tubing

Versilon™ SPT-70 FB IB from Saint-Gobain is a platinum-cured silicone tubing designed specifically for food and beverage dispensing applications. Designed for contact with food, all layers of this tubing are compliant with FDA, EU, and GB food contact regulations.*

This reinforced tubing imparts essentially no taste or odors to the transferred fluids. Its smooth inner surface reduces the risk of particle entrapment and inhibits protein binding and bacterial growth; cleaning and sterilization cycles become more effective as a result. Versilon™ SPT-70 FB IB tubing can easily withstand repeated SIP and CIP cleaning and sterilization cycles, making it ideal for repeat-use applications. Its flexibility, durability, and chemical and temperature resistance provide a unique combination of characteristics required in many food and beverage applications.

Low Extractables

Versilon™ SPT-70 FB IB silicone tubing is manufactured with a platinum curing process designed to meet the most demanding requirements of food and beverage sanitary standards. Third-party extractability tests have shown that Versilon™ SPT-70 FB IB tubing has a low extractable content which helps maintain the integrity of the transported food and beverage media.*
