Cilran Tubing

Cilran Tubing

Cilran Tubing is made exclusively by Randolph Austin Company.  Developed in the 1980’s to offer our customers an alternative to rubber tubing, Cilran is manufactured using a TPE material that is blended on site and designed to maximize its performance within a peristaltic pump application.  Randolph Austin has selected the raw materials for Cilran because of the ball and chain structure that is formed leading to greater acid resistance.  (see chemical compatibility below)

Cilran outperforms silicone tubing in a peristaltic pump application.  Exhibiting moderate UV resistance, Cilran has a working temperature range of up to 140°F inside the pump.  The normal effect on Cilran when exposed to excessive UV is yellowing, and our customer track records indicate little to no effects on performance in a peristaltic pump after exposure.

 

Cilran is a rugged material designed for use in a peristaltic pump.  Peristaltic pumps require robust tubing material that can handle constant compression and decompression cycles while remaining resilient.

 

Applications include (but are not limited to) battery processing (battery acids), pool chlorination, laboratory tubing, food transfer/processing tubing (tomato sauces, paste, acidic foods), and naval use.

 

Cilran can be sterilized with either steam or radiation and is considered a USP VI material. Cilran is RoHS and REACH certified and halogen-free.  Cilran is certified as safe for food contact by the FDA. (FDA, 21 CFR 177.1210)

 

Randolph Austin has been producing tubing products amongst the strongest in the market since the 1970s.  Cilran is another great option that Randolph Austin has designed and produced a proven track record over the span of multiple decades.  Please contact us for more information regarding Cilran or any other pump/tubing need.
