Silicone Hose Introduction‌

Silicone hose is a high-performance flexible tube made of ‌silicone rubber‌, widely used in medical, food, and industrial fields due to its unique chemical and physical properties. Below is a detailed introduction:

‌1. Material & Properties‌

‌Material‌

Composed of ‌silicon dioxide (SiO₂)‌ as the base, with organic silicone compounds added. It is high-purity, non-toxic, and odorless.

‌Key Characteristics‌

‌High Temperature Resistance‌: Withstands ‌-60°C to 200°C‌ (some specialized models up to 300°C), suitable for sterilization (e.g., autoclaving).

‌Chemical Inertness‌: Resistant to acids, alkalis, solvents, ozone, and UV light.

‌Flexibility‌: Small bending radius, kink-resistant, and easy to install.

‌Biocompatibility‌: Medical-grade silicone complies with ‌FDA, USP Class VI, ISO 10993‌ standards, safe for human contact.

‌High Transparency‌: Allows visual monitoring of fluid flow (e.g., medical infusions).

‌Flame Resistance‌: Some models meet UL 94 V-0 flammability standards.

‌2. Types & Structure‌

‌By Application‌

‌Medical Silicone Hose‌: Used in pharmaceuticals, infusions, respiratory devices, etc., requiring medical certifications.

‌Food-Grade Silicone Hose‌: Complies with ‌FDA 21 CFR 177.2600‌, ideal for beverages, dairy, and food liquids.

‌Industrial Silicone Hose‌: Heat- and corrosion-resistant, used in automotive, electronics, and chemical industries.

‌By Structure‌

‌Standard Silicone Hose‌: Single-layer, lightweight, and flexible.

‌Reinforced Silicone Hose‌: Embedded fibers or wire braiding for higher pressure resistance (e.g., peristaltic pump tubing).

‌Conductive/Anti-Static Hose‌: Contains conductive materials for static-sensitive environments.

‌3. Key Parameters‌

‌Inner Diameter (ID)‌: Ranges from 1mm to 50mm (customizable).

‌Wall Thickness‌: Affects pressure resistance and flexibility (typically 0.5mm to 5mm).

‌Pressure Rating‌: Standard hoses 0.3-0.5 MPa; reinforced hoses up to 1.5 MPa.

‌Color & Transparency‌: Transparent, semi-transparent, or opaque (e.g., red, blue); some include UV-blocking pigments.

‌4. Applications‌

‌Medical Field‌

Infusion sets, ventilator tubing, peristaltic pumps, dialysis equipment.

Fluid transfer in high-temperature sterilization environments (e.g., surgical instrument cleaning).

‌Food Industry‌

Beverage filling, dairy transfer, food-grade liquid transport.

Compliant with ‌EC1935/2004‌ and ‌EU 10/2011‌ food-contact standards.

‌Laboratory & Industry‌

Chemical reagent transfer, high-temperature gas exhaust (e.g., automotive), semiconductor manufacturing.

Protective sleeving for precision instruments (e.g., dustproof, insulation).

‌5. Selection & Usage Tips‌

‌Selection Criteria‌

Choose based on temperature, pressure, and chemical compatibility.

Require certifications (e.g., FDA, LFGB) for medical/food applications.

‌Installation & Maintenance‌

Avoid sharp bends (minimum bend radius ≥ 5× hose diameter).

Regularly inspect for aging, cracks, or deformation; avoid prolonged static pressure at high temperatures.

‌Storage‌

Keep away from light and ozone sources (e.g., motors, UV lamps).

Protect from sharp objects.

‌6. Popular Brands‌

‌Global Brands‌: Momentive, WACKER, Saint-Gobain, Tygon.

‌Chinese Brands‌: XDF, Emerson, Jinkangda.
