Rubber and plastic pipe strips have been fully used in life types in the early days. The earliest soft rubber pipe strips have so far more and more types of branches. At present, the demand for silicone rubber pipes in various fields is gradually expanding. It is mainly used in the field of life. In electrical appliances, construction, machinery, and other fields, early people thought that silica gel is a chemical extract, will it have an impact on the human body or life?


After several years of experiments and testing, it has been shown that silicone tube is a very reliable and stable material. Then people boldly apply silicone tubes to various aspects such as life and industry. After more than 200 years of development, silicone tube has lived up to expectations. It stands firm in each industry field, and different fields choose different materials to distinguish. At present, it is mainly due to the use of ordinary silicone tube strips, environmentally friendly food-grade medical tube strips, and special operations. Different materials are used for different industries and requirements.

Among ordinary silicone tube strips, its main material is derived from ordinary industrial-grade precipitation silicone material, which is the most common ordinary silicone product at present, but in terms of performance, it still inherits the original characteristics of silicone material, resistant to temperature, cold resistance, tensile resilience, and other characteristics can be used in many electronic and mechanical equipment, and it is also the most types of silicone tube strips at present. Obvious whitening occurs, but from an industrial point of view, these are acceptable. It is not easy to yellow, has strong practicability, and is affordable for the people. It is widely used in machinery, industry, and construction.


Food and medical-grade silicone tube: This kind of silicone tube is of good quality and appearance. You can see it in daily life, medical equipment, and some small household appliances. It is highly transparent, safe, and stable. and other functions and some can even be directly or indirectly implanted into the human body to work through biocompatibility. The food medical grade silicone tube will not turn white during the stretching process and can maintain the original transparency. It has a very important influence on the development of silicone, and it is also the most important representative product of silicone tubes at present. Almost every household is using it, but many people do not know it. Food and medical-grade silicone tubes can be hidden in your children. It can also be used on small household appliances.

Special silicone tube: There are many varieties of this type of silicone tube, and most of them have their unique advantages, such as high-temperature resistant silicone tube (temperature resistance up to 300°) flame retardant silicone tube (flame retardant grade 94-V0) Resistivity 0.02~0.004) and so on. These special kinds of silicone tubes play a pivotal role in some industries, and also show the toughness and diversification of silicone rubber until now. Special silicone tube is inseparable from their originality. It is to add or decompose various additives in the process of silicone production so that it can amplify a certain feature to meet customer requirements.
