Locally compounded and manufactured in Christchurch, New Zealand
Tufsil® is developed and produced by our proudly New Zealand-owned company. As one of the leading silicone manufacturers in the region and with over 50 years of silicone expertise, we deliver tubing you can trust.
Rigorous Testing and Quality Transparency
Every batch of our plastic tubing and silicone products undergoes extensive testing in our in-house lab. Full compliance documentation and our Net Inspect quality assurance system ensure complete transparency.
Premium In-House Silicone Formulations
As custom silicone manufacturers, we compound our own silicone, delivering tubing with outstanding durability, flexibility, and chemical resistance. Ideal for demanding industrial, university, and scientific use.
Exceptional Performance
Tufsil® silicone tubing performs reliably across a wide temperature range (-60°C to +200°C) and resists UV, ozone, and various chemicals. Unlike conventional rubber or plastic tubing, our silicone does not develop porosity that supports bacterial growth. It maintains flexibility through repeated use, bending, sterilisation, and exposure to harsh conditions—making it ideal for industrial and lab environments requiring long-lasting performance.
Frequently Asked Questions - TUFSIL® Silicone Tubing

What makes silicone tubing suitable for scientific, university, and industrial applications?
Silicone tubing is prized for its flexibility, chemical resistance, and high-temperature tolerance. It’s non-toxic, biocompatible, and UV/ozone-resistant, making it ideal for labs, pharmaceuticals, education, and manufacturing. Its clear structure also enables easy fluid inspection.
-
Can I customise the silicone tubing for specific requirements?
-
How do I select the right silicone tubing for my application?
Consider inner/outer diameter, wall thickness, durometer, chemical compatibility, pressure needs, and temperature range. Our expert team can assist with selecting or developing the right silicone tubing solution.
-
What industries commonly use silicone tubing?
Tufsil® silicone tubing is used in scientific research, universities, biotech and pharmaceutical production, food and beverage processing, industrial machinery, and more. It's also trusted in sectors like automotive and HVAC, where durability under stress is vital.
-
What does 65 A Mean?
"65 Shore A" refers to a mid-range hardness rating on the Shore A scale, common in silicone tubing. It offers a balance of flexibility and rigidity, ideal for environments where the tubing needs to resist pressure, bending, and wear without deforming. EPL can also create tubing at other hardness levels for custom silicone products.
