In the automotive, food and beverage, and medical fields, industrial silicone hoses are used to supply air, water and other fluids. An industrial silicone hose can be connected to fittings using a variety of methods including flanges, clamps or laser welded rings.
Silicone rubber is used as a flexible joint material in the construction industry, and it is widely used to make seals or sealants for industrial machinery and equipment, such as printing and dyeing machinery, food machinery and electronic equipment, etc. The six main advantages of silicone hoses are as follows:
1. The Industrial Silicone Hose Is Oil Resistant
The industrial silicone hose has excellent oil resistance, making it suitable for harsh environments such as automobiles. The surface of the industrial silicone hose is smooth and easy to clean. It can be cleaned with water or steam. It also has excellent properties such as pressure resistance and abrasion resistance.
2. The Industrial Silicone Hose Is Well Insulated
The insulation performance of industrial silicone hose is great, especially at high frequency and high voltage. It has the advantages of good corona resistance, arc resistance, tracking resistance, moisture resistance and mould proofing.
3. The Industrial Silicone Hose Can Withstand Extreme Temperature Changes
A silicone hose has high-temperature resistance and low-temperature resistance. Since silicone rubber has excellent heat resistance and silicone is one of the most heat-resistant materials available on the market, it is ideal in an industrial setting. Because of their cold resistance and weather resistance, industrial silicone hoses can be used for a long time between both low and high temperatures without hardening.
4. The Industrial Silicone Hose Has Chemical Stability And Water Repellency
Silicone rubber is not soluble in water or any solvent, almost all acid, alkali, and salt, so it is known as "universal rubber". However, it is easy to react with phosphorus pentoxide to form a gel.
5. The Industrial Silicone Hose Can Be Used In Extreme Weather Environments
Because of its chemical makeup, silicone doesn't break down easily when exposed to UV rays or ozone, which means it won't degrade as quickly in direct sunlight or dry indoor conditions as many other types of hose material will.
6. The Industrial Silicone Hose Can Be Used In High Levels Of Corrosion
Because of its corrosion resistance, silicone hoses are useful in industries that use strong chemicals or manufacture strong products. A silicone hose can resist acid, alkali and organic solvent corrosion, which is widely used in the chemical industry.
You can use an industrial silicone hose in a variety of applications in different industries due to its malleability, flexibility and strength. For more information about the use and purchase of a silicon hose, contact an expert today.
