Almost every operation in any industry requires a robust tubing system, for connecting important parts of equipment. The purpose can be fluid transfer or sheathing electrical wires. Silicone becomes an ideal choice for making rubber tubing because it has an impressive set of features. Although natural silicone is an insulator, conductive silicone rubber tubing can be manufactured for specific purposes by adding conductive particles to the raw material. With the aid of extrusion, we manufacture extruded silicone rubber tubing with customized shapes and profiles.
Popular Properties of Silicone Rubber Tubing
- Non-toxic and Non-reactive, this material becomes the prior choice when used for making tubing to be used in the Food and Dairy Industry.
- It has a high tensile strength
- Has a tendency to absorb shocks and vibrations.
- Soft Silicone Rubber tubing is flexible and durable.
- It is resistant to chemicals and corrosions.
- Silicone rubber tubing is resistant to challenging environmental and climatic conditions.
- High-temperature silicone rubber tubing can withstand very high temperatures.
- Silicone tubing transparent ensures better monitoring of the fluids in the tubes.
Areas of Application of Silicone Rubber Tubing
- Medical Device Applications:
It provides a tubing solution to Peristaltic Pumps. Owing to its flexibility, stethoscopes and medical monitoring equipment. Silicone is germ resistant and hence an ideal choice as medical grade silicone rubber tubing keeping in mind the safety standards.
- Automotive Industry:
It is the best tubing solution for all sorts of vehicle engines in cars, SUVs, trucks. The material makes the tubing resistant to heat and moisture.
- Aviation Industry:
Silicone tubing is the one-stop solution to the critical necessities of this industry like flight masks and breathing apparatuses.
- Marine Industry:
The tubing systems made from this material are tolerant to very high pressures deep down the ocean. It is used in submarines for the transfer of fluid and gases.
- Electrical Industry:
Sophisticated components which require insulation find silicone rubber tubing as the best option. The material is robust and can prevent damage to the sensitive parts of electrical devices like computers.
- Food and Dairy Industry:
Food grade silicone rubber tubing is ideally non-toxic and non-reactive ensuring safe transfer of fluids down the tubes.
