1： What is silicone tubing

Silicone tubes are made from silicone rubber as the raw material. The molecular structure of silicone rubber is mainly composed of a chain like structure of oxygen and silicon atoms. It is precisely because of this unique molecular structure that silicone tubes have better heat resistance, chemical stability, and insulation properties. Silicone rubber can work normally for a long time without significant damage, with a maximum temperature of 250 ℃ and a minimum temperature of -50 ℃, far exceeding other general-purpose rubbers. The silicon oxygen chemical bonds in the molecular structure of silicone rubber are very stable and not easily oxidized. At the same time, adding some chemicals such as fluorine and benzene is less likely to react with other chemicals, 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 and disinfection, and has no adhesion with other materials. Therefore, it can also be used in medical and food fields, such as water delivery pipes in drinking water 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 woven silicone hose is not strictly considered a woven 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 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 and are mainly used in high-temperature and high-pressure environments in industry; Sanitary grade silicone steel wire hoses are 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 tubing 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.
