Silicone tube is a tubular material made of silicone (silicone rubber) and is widely used in many industries. Here are some key information about silicone tube:
1. Material properties
- High temperature resistance: Silicone tube can maintain its performance in the temperature range of -60°C to 200°C, and some special silicones can even withstand higher temperatures.
- Chemical corrosion resistance: Good resistance to most chemicals, solvents and oils.
- Flexibility: Silicone tube is soft and elastic, easy to bend and install.
- Biocompatibility: Non-toxic and odorless, suitable for medical and food industries.
- Insulation: Has good electrical insulation properties and is suitable for electronic and electrical applications.
2. Common types: ordinary silicone tube, food-grade silicone tube, medical silicone tube, high-transparency silicone tube, high-pressure resistant silicone tube.
3. Application areas
- Medical industry: used for infusion tubes, ventilator catheters, etc.
- Food industry: used for conveying beverages, dairy products, etc.
- Industrial field: used for conveying chemicals, gases, etc.
- Electronic and electrical: used for insulation protection.
- Automotive industry: used in cooling systems, fuel systems, etc.
4. Selection points
- Temperature range: Select a silicone hose with a suitable temperature resistance grade according to the use environment.
- Chemical compatibility: Make sure that the silicone hose can withstand the chemicals it comes into contact with.
- Size and pressure: Select the appropriate size based on the inner diameter, outer diameter and wall thickness, and consider the pressure resistance requirements.
- Certification: The medical and food industries need to select products that meet relevant certifications.
5. Maintenance and care
- Cleaning: Clean regularly to avoid chemical residues.
- Inspection: Check for wear, aging or cracks regularly and replace them in time.
- Storage: Avoid direct sunlight and high temperatures to prevent aging.
Silicone hoses play an important role in many industries due to their excellent performance.
