1： What is a silicone tube

The silicone tube is made of silicone rubber. The molecular structure of silicone rubber is mainly composed of chain structure composed of oxygen and silicon atoms. Because of this unique molecular structure, the silicone tube has better heat resistance, chemical stability and insulation. Silicone rubber can work normally at a maximum temperature of 250 ℃ and maintain elasticity for a long time in an environment of -50 ℃, without significant damage, far surpassing other general-purpose rubbers. The silicon oxygen chemical bond in the molecular structure of silicone rubber is very stable and not easy to be oxidized. At the same time, it is more difficult to react with other chemicals by adding fluorine, phenyl, etc., so it can be used to transport corrosive materials. In addition, silicone has the characteristic of being non-toxic. In addition, it can withstand multiple high-temperature steaming disinfection and has no adhesion with other materials, so it can also be used in medical and food fields, such as water pipes in drinking equipment and infusion pipes in medical treatment.

2： Popularization of knowledge on woven silicone tubing and industrial grade silicone tubing

The silicone steel wire hose in the braided silicone hose is not strictly considered a braided hose. However, in order to ensure good fusion between silicone and steel wire, weaving is added during the production process. This type of hose has good pressure resistance characteristics and can withstand vacuum. Steel wire silicone hoses are mainly divided into sanitary grade silicone steel wire hoses and industrial grade silicone steel wire hoses. Industrial grade silicone steel wire hoses also become rubber hoses, mainly used in high-temperature and high-pressure environments in industry; Hygienic grade silicone steel wire hose is an important accessory in pharmaceutical factories and equipment.

The characteristics of industrial silicone tubing are that low decomposition rate silicone is suitable for applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food processing. The core of the tubing is made of silicone materials listed in NSF51; Hardness 70A; Industrial silicone hose is durable and can withstand strong pressure; Still having elasticity; Industrial silicone tubing can be sterilized through CIP, SIP, or radiation or high-pressure sterilization. The application of industrial silicone tubing.
