My company currently uses 1,1,1-trichloroethane to temporarily expand 11mm diameter silicone tubing to fit around a 13mm diameter needle. I am looking for a safe alternative to this hazardous chemical that will basically temporarily expand the silicone in the same manner (w/o any damage). Any suggestions?
