Handling & Precautions
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain elasticity
- Clean using mild detergents; avoid strong solvents that may affect rubber quality
- Natural rubber variants should not be autoclaved at high temperatures; silicone variants may withstand standard autoclave cycles
- Avoid excessive stretching, sharp edges, or abrasive surfaces
- Replace tubing periodically in critical applications to maintain performance
- Use color coding in systems to prevent cross-contamination and ensure process clarity
