Silicone tubes are divided into food grade and industrial grade. They are made of high-quality silicone rubber through scientific formula and advanced technology. They have softness, high tear resistance, high insulation, wear resistance, and durability. High temperature, flame retardant, anti-aging, environmentally friendly, tensile type, stable performance and other advantages. The difference between food-grade silicone tube and industrial-grade silicone tube
1. Food-grade silicone tube
This is a hose that can pass FDA food-grade certification, food-grade medical silicone The hoses are all extruded from imported pure silicone rubber raw materials. The nozzles are round, not flat, have small deformation, less precipitates, precise wall thickness uniformity, stable chemical properties, good reagent resistance, and can withstand weak acids and weak alkali. , resistant to chemical reagents, liquid medicine, alcohol, etc. Some imported materials have passed biocompatibility cytotoxicity testing and comply with ISO10993 USP Class VI standards.
Food-grade silicone tubes are mainly used for medical device accessories and medical catheters. They adopt antibacterial design to ensure safe use. Food-grade silicone tubes are usually used in water dispensers, coffee machine diversion ducts, and household appliances. Waterproof line protection, used for medical equipment connecting pipes, catheters, etc.; baby bottle straws, catheters, etc.; electrical equipment and other casings, profiled materials; pipe products for food; connecting pipes for food machinery; drinking fountains, coffee pots, children Connecting tubes, conduits, etc. for suction cups.
2. Industrial-grade silicone tubes are used in special chemical industries
Electrical and other special environmental protection carriers are circulated using special-performance silica gel. Industrial-grade products do not have such strict environmental protection requirements because they are not used In the food and drug industry, products do not need to be tested for food grade certification.
Silicone tubes have high temperature resistance and can be used in environments from -50°C to 250°C. They are soft and elastic, resistant to kink and do not unravel. They also have tear resistance and excellent electrical properties. Whether it is food , pharmaceutical, industrial and other fields have been well received by customers.
