1. Classification
Common silicone tubes are: medical silicone tube, food grade silicone tube, industrial silicone tube, silicone shaped tube, silicone tube fittings.
Medical silicone tube is mainly used for medical equipment accessories, medical catheters, and antibacterial design to ensure safe use.
Food grade silicone tubing is used for water dispensers, coffee machine diversion pipes, and waterproof line protection for household appliances.
Industrial silicone tube is used for special environmental protection, electrical and other special environmental protection carrier circulation, using special performance silica gel.

2. Technical characteristics
Withstand voltage: ≥6.0KV, working temperature: -60+200, specific gravity: 1.2, hardness: 70±5, tensile strength: ≥6.5.
Product color: transparent, white, black, red, yellow, green (can also be produced as required).
Temperature range: -40 - 300 ° C
Size: caliber 0.5---30MM.
Surface properties: Comb water, non-stick to many materials, can be used for isolation.
Electrical properties: When the water is exposed to moisture or the temperature rises, the change is small. Even if the silicon dioxide generated by the short-circuit combustion is still an insulator, this ensures that the electrical equipment continues to work, so it is most suitable for making wires, cables and lead wires.

3. Different from PVC
First of all, the silica gel belongs to the rubber material, the PVC is the plastic material, the main material of the PVC pipe is polyvinyl chloride, and the main material of the silicone pipe is silica.
A. PVC pipe is made of polyvinyl chloride resin, stabilizer, lubricant, etc., and then extruded by hot press injection molding machine. Main performance and electrical insulation; good chemical stability; self-extinguishing; low water absorption; easy to stick Connected, can withstand high temperatures of about 40 °. Main equipment industrial gas, liquid transportation, etc., household sewer pipes, water pipes, etc. Environmental protection issues: Additives such as plasticizers and anti-aging agents are toxic. Plasticizers in daily-use polyvinyl chloride plastics mainly use dibutyl terephthalate and dioctyl phthalate. These chemistries The product is toxic.
B. silicone tube, silica gel material chemical properties are stable, in addition to strong alkali, hydrofluoric acid does not chemical reaction with any chemical substances, good chemical properties, good electrical insulation properties, not easy to age and weather, soft material, environmentally friendly non-toxic materials, Colorless and tasteless. The pipe for daily use will be made of silicone material, mainly used in household appliances, medical industry, industrial industry, automobile industry and so on.
