Reinforced Silicone Tube
Reinforced silicone tube is a braided silicone tube manufactured through special processes, with the core feature of embedding a braided layer in the tube wall to enhance performance.
Description
1, Product Structure and Composition of Reinforced Silicone Tube
(1) Double-layer composite structure
Composed of a silicone layer and a woven layer of glass fiber (or polyester fiber), the middle woven layer serves to enhance support and improve compressive strength.
Outer woven fiberglass tube: The surface is tightly wrapped around the inner tube, and the woven layer is fixed by immersion coating technology, which is resistant to high pressure and not easy to loosen.
(2) Material characteristics
The silicone layer is usually treated with platinum vulcanization technology, which has the characteristics of high temperature resistance (-60 ℃~220 ℃), corrosion resistance, non-toxic and environmentally friendly, and meets food grade standards. The glass fiber layer enhances the tear resistance and pressure bearing performance.
2,Why Choose Reinforced Silicone Tube
Stronger pressure resistance
The woven layer (such as nylon, fiberglass, or steel wire) significantly enhances the compressive and tensile strength of the pipe body. For example, in high-pressure scenarios such as fire trucks that need to withstand huge water flow impacts, ordinary silicone tubing is prone to wear and tear, while braided silicone tubing can work stably for a long time.
Anti tangling and anti vacuum
The woven structure provides internal support to prevent the pipe from twisting or collapsing in bending or negative pressure environments. Especially suitable for vacuum equipment, laboratory ultra pure liquid transmission and other scenarios
3, Typical Applications of Reinforced Silicone Tube
(1) Used in fire trucks and industrial equipment to withstand high-pressure water flow or gas, with strong compression and explosion resistance, and can disperse pressure to avoid rupture.
(2)Transporting corrosive liquids or gases (such as acids, alkalis, oils), the inner layer can be customized with corrosion-resistant silicone material, and the woven layer enhances mechanical strength.
(3) Suitable for laboratory vacuum equipment, sealing systems, resistant to twisting and complete vacuum environment.
(4) Used for infusion tubes, drainage tubes, peristaltic pump tubes, etc., non-toxic and odorless.
(5) Transport ultra pure liquids such as vaccines and cell culture media to avoid contamination and withstand high temperature sterilization (such as high-pressure steam and radiation disinfection).
(6)Transporting liquids such as milk, juice, alcohol, etc., with high temperature resistance and transparency for easy monitoring
4, Key points of production process of Reinforced Silicone Tube
Extrusion molding: The silicone raw material is mixed in an internal mixer, extruded into an inner tube through a mold, and then woven.
Weaving reinforcement: Glass fibers are woven in diamond or fully wrapped patterns, and some are fixed using immersion coating technology.
Bubble control: During mixing, it is necessary to strictly control the temperature and time to avoid residual bubbles in the silicone gel.
Weaving density: High density weaving is required in high-pressure scenarios to prevent bulging or cracking
5, Packaging Methods
It is mostly packaged in rolls, with common specifications of 50m/roll or 100m/roll. Some special specifications can be customized.
Usually wrapped in PE bags or woven bags, with reinforced cardboard or wooden boxes on the outer layer for transportation to ensure dust and compression resistance
