What is a silicone hose?
The term silicone hose applies to the family of flexible pipes or pipes made of various formulations of silicone rubber. These products show unique properties of silicone materials that include a wide range of working temperatures, flexibility, stability and resistance to many chemicals. Silicone hoses can be laminated with woven reinforced fibers for pressure applications or left for nominal pressure applications. The shilicon hose is used in various applications that require inert, temperature resistant products in the medical, automotive, chemical and food industries. Hoses can also be produced in a wide range of profiles specific to application or as continuous, rolled lengths and can be associated or associated with mostly standard fittings.
Silicone rubber is a versatile material consisting of silicone, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. It is thermally stable and can be used in applications with temperatures ranging from -67 ° to 570 ° F (-55 ° to 300 ° C).It is resistant to various chemicals and for a lengthy exposure of ozone and ultraviolet (UV). In addition, silicone rubber products have good mechanical properties and stand on stretching, compression and tearing. However, silicone rubber has low tensile strength compared to other rubber compounds.
Silicone hose products combine the above -mentioned positive properties of silicone rubber, thus resistant and versatile with a wide range of use. They are available in different internal profiles, diameters and specialized formulations that suit most applications. Hoses are suitable for applications with slightly high pressures when reinforced grades are used. These reinforced hoses have a braid of woven fibers that are laminated in the walls of the tube, creating a protective and solder vagina resistant to Ess in the material. The non -swimming silicone hose is also available in low pressure applications.
extremeThe temperature environment is another popular area of use for silicone hose products. Depending on the specific formulation of the rubber, the hoses may be installed in processes involving high or low temperature gases and fluids. As a result, these products are suitable for food processing and automotive industry as a hose for processing, cooling and turbo charger. The silicone hose is also well suitable for outdoor applications, as ozone or UV radiation is degraded for a long time. The sterile and inert product of the product also shows how they are widely used in medical applications.
These products are available either in lengths outside the cylinders or as pre -defined parts specific to the application. These include the U, bends, elbows and profiles of the degree diameter diameter. The silicone hose can be connected and associated with mostly standard flexible flexible equipment.
