High-Temperature and Low-Temperature Silicone Hose from China Suppliers | Reliable Factory Quality
Product Definition
Silicone tubing is a flexible channel component made from high-purity silicone rubber. Leveraging silicone's exceptional chemical stability, biocompatibility, flexibility, and insulation properties, it provides safe, reliable, and durable fluid transport, electrical insulation, and physical protection for applications in the medical, food, industrial, and scientific research sectors. It is a key component in connecting systems, transferring media, and ensuring safety.
Applications
Medical equipment: Peristaltic pump tubing, ventilator tubing, IV tubing, feeding tubes.
Industrial manufacturing: High-temperature hot air conveyance, chemical liquid conveyance, instrument protection sleeves.
Electronics and electrical: Insulation and sheathing for wires and cables (especially in high-temperature environments).
Laboratory: Connecting various laboratory instruments and transporting reagents and gases.
Household appliances: Water pipes inside water dispensers and coffee machines.
Features
Our silicone tubing offers a range of advantages that set it apart from the competition. These include:
Excellent temperature resistance
Wide temperature resistance: Typically maintains elasticity over a wide temperature range from -60°C to +200°C for extended periods and can withstand higher temperatures for short periods.
Excellent flexibility and elasticity
Soft to the touch, it remains flexible even at very low temperatures, making it easy to bend and coil. It has good resilience, quickly recovering to its original shape after being deformed by pressure and exhibiting strong resistance to flattening. It also has high tensile strength, allowing it to withstand certain stretching forces without breaking.
Good chemical stability and weather resistance
Ozone and oxidation resistance, It is not easy to age after long-term exposure to air. UV resistance, It has a long service life in outdoor sunlight. Resistant to some chemicals, It has good tolerance to water, alcohol, certain acids, alkalis, greases, etc.
High transparency and easy observation
The clear and transparent tube wall allows easy observation of the flow state, color, bubbles or particles of the fluid in the tube, which is crucial for medical infusion, laboratory analysis and food processing.
Electrical insulation performance
Silicone is a good insulating material, so silicone tubes are also commonly used in protective sleeves for wires and cables.
