What are the main categories of common silicone hoses
Silicone tube is a soft, elastic, high and low temperature resistant, corrosion-resistant, non-toxic, and odorless tube made of silicone rubber, widely used in various fields such as medicine, food, industry, electronics, etc. According to different purposes and performance requirements, silicone tubes can be divided into the following categories:
1. Medical silica gel tube: This silica gel tube is mainly used for medical device accessories, medical catheters, infusion and transfusion vessels, artificial heart lung machine tubes, ventilator tubes, etc. It is characterized by bacteriostasis, sterility, no endotoxin, no dissolved substances, no Carcinogen, etc., to ensure safe and hygienic use. Medical silicone tubes also have good biocompatibility and will not cause rejection or allergic reactions in human tissues.
2. Food grade silicone hose: This silicone hose is mainly used for the transportation and processing of food and beverage, such as the silicone hose of Water dispenser, the silicone straw of milk bottle, the silicone hose for coffee machine drainage, and the silicone hose for tea set diversion. Food grade silicone tubing meets the standards of food contact materials such as FDA and LFGB, and will not decompose any harmful substances such as odor, taste, and pigment, maintaining the original taste of the food.
3. Industrial silicone hose: This type of silicone hose is mainly used for the circulation of special environmental protection carriers such as special chemical and electrical industries, such as oil resistant, acid and alkali resistant silicone hoses, high pressure and high temperature resistant silicone hoses, fire resistant and flame retardant silicone hoses, etc. Industrial silicone hoses use special performance silicone rubber or added reinforcing materials (such as steel wire, fibers, etc.), which have the characteristics of high strength, high toughness, and high wear resistance.
4. Silicone shaped tube: This type of silicone tube is customized according to different shapes and sizes, such as square, elliptical, corrugated, conical, etc. Silicone shaped tubes can meet various complex structural and functional requirements, such as connecting devices with different diameters or angles, buffering vibration or noise, changing fluid direction or speed, etc.
5. Silicone hose accessories: This silicone product is used in conjunction with silicone hoses, such as various joints, valves, sealing rings, clips, etc. Silicone hose accessories can improve the connection stability and sealing performance of silicone hoses, prevent air and liquid leakage, and facilitate installation and disassembly.
