Silicone hoses can be divided into industrial grade silicone hoses, food grade silicone hoses, and sanitary grade silicone hoses according to the production material as well as the usage environment and usage requirements. There are strict quality divisions and quality requirements for different kinds of silicone hoses. Due to the special chemical properties of silicone rubber raw materials as well as temperature resistance, it is widely used in industry, food, pharmaceutical, and other industries to transport acid and alkaline organic solvents as well as solids such as dust and particles.
Industrial silicone hose is mainly made of silicone hose special high temperature resistance performance as well as chemical inertness and aging resistance, can work continuously for a long time under a high-temperature environment above 200 degrees, UV resistant, anti-aging, usually used to convey industrial materials and chemicals, etc. The hose is made of common silicone rubber and produced by extrusion process.
Food-grade silicone hose is produced with silicone material that meets food-grade requirements, and catalytic synthesis using peroxide to ensure that the produced hose does not fall off. Food silicone hose is the best-supporting hose for food filling, especially for wine, beverage and edible oil filling. Food silicone hose has good resistance to high temperature, tear-resistance and bendability, and can be oscillated for a long time, so it is also the ideal supporting hose for a peristaltic pump.
Sanitary silicone hose is a high clean silicone hose, hose from raw materials must meet the U.S. food sanitary standards, the entire production process needs to be produced in a high clean production plant, silicone hose is widely used in the health pharmaceutical industry, high clean laboratory, biological laboratories and vacuum weighing and other high-end scientific research experimental projects. Medical silicone hose not only needs to meet the U.S. food sanitation standards but also to meet the medical grade standards.
