Flexible Silicone Tube for Ozone Applications

This ozone silicone tubing – specifically the 5×9 mm silicone tube from Puritech—is ideal for use in ozone systems. Because it’s made from high-quality silicone, it resists ozone degradation very well. Silicone’s strong silicon–oxygen bonds make it much more stable in the presence of ozone compared to many other elastomers.

As a result, this silicone tube allows for safe and reliable ozone transfer in water-treatment and gas-dosing systems, without fear of rapid wear or cracking.

Key Features

• Size / Dimensions: 5 mm inner diameter × 9 mm outer diameter (per meter).
• Material: Pure, peroxide‑cured silicone, ensuring high resistance to ozone.
• Temperature Range: Silicone generally remains flexible in a wide temperature range and tolerates heat and cold well.
• Chemical Stability: Highly resistant to oxidation, UV exposure, and ozone.
• Flexible & Durable: Can be bent or coiled without kinking, making installation easier in tight setups.

Benefits

1. Ozone Compatibility: Because of its chemical structure, the tubing holds up exceptionally well under ozone exposure.
2. Long Lifespan: Silicone’s durability means less frequent replacement, even under continuous ozonation.
3. Flexible Installation: Easy to route through systems thanks to its softness and elasticity.
4. Safe Flow Channel: Uses FDA-grade or food-grade silicone (depending on variant), ensuring safe handling of gases.
5. Low Maintenance: Silicone does not degrade rapidly, so tubing remains reliable with minimal maintenance.

Applications

• Ozone generators/ozone machine lines
• Static mixers or venturi injectors for ozone-water systems
• Ozone disinfection loops in water treatment
• Medical or laboratory ozone supply systems
• Any gas transfer line where ozone is present

Technical & Safety Notes

• While silicone is quite ozone-resistant, very high ozone concentrations can “dry” and age silicone over a long time. YMAWS
• For best results, use clamps that are smooth or lined; sharp metal edges can damage silicone tubing. industrialspec.com
• Periodically inspect the tubing for signs of brittleness or micro-cracking if used in high-ozone systems.
• Avoid long exposure to very high ozone without checking tubing quality regularly.
