The product

The curing system determines whether the tube can transfer taste or odour to the food.

A food-grade silicone tube carries fluids that will be ingested or that come into contact with food during processing, packaging or dispensing. The material being silicone is not enough on its own: the formulation must be certified for food contact under the regulations of the target market, and the curing process determines whether the tube can transfer taste, odour or substances to the conveyed product.
