Silicone tube is a kind of special comprehensive performance of good rubber, has excellent electrical insulation, aging resistance, chemical stability, oxidation resistance, radiation resistance, physiological inertia, good air permeability, high and low temperature resistance, can be used in -60℃ ~ 250℃ for a long time. Therefore, it is widely used in aviation, electronics, petroleum, chemical industry, machinery, electrical appliances, medical, oven, food and other modern industry, national defense industry and daily necessities.

Silicone tube has a wide range of uses, so its classification is more common, medical silicone tube, food grade silicone tube, industrial silicone tube, silicone shaped tube, silicone tube accessories, etc.

Today we are going to popularize the food grade silicone tube and medical silicone tube

Q: About food-grade silicone tubes and medical silicone tubes, why do you need to provide relevant medical and food testing certificates?

A: Both of these are used for health and safety and human contact, so the production and use requirements are very strict!

It's also about health and safety. What's the difference?

Here are the similarities and differences between them.

concept

Food grade silicone tube

The use of imported silica gel raw materials, the use of scientific production technology, the use of intermittent method for the production of raw rubber, for the high tear resistance and high transparency of the gas phase rubber, the ultra-high and low hardness of the rubber, functional rubber and other characteristics of the production of silicone tube, this product has a wide range of adaptability. Compared with the traditional double 24 vulcanization process of silicone tube and silicone profile, with high transparency, tasteless, unchanged yellow, no spray cream and other advantages, especially to solve the problem of black hose spray cream, blue products fade.

Medical silicone tube

All the tubes are made of imported silicone rubber materials with the minimum inner diameter of 0.4mm. Through the biocompatibility test, the reaction to human tissue is very small, and the value will not cause foreign body reaction after entering human tissue, and no inflammation will occur to surrounding tissues. The tubes can be placed in human body for 20 days without abnormal reaction. The life of the special silicone tube of peristaltic pump can be used continuously for more than 175 hours. Therefore, it is more and more widely used in medical and health, such as: drainage tube, blood transfusion tube, various catheters, silicone vasculature/tape, peristaltic pump silicone tube (biopharmaceutical) and other industries. The common ones are catheter, indwelling needle, trachea and so on.

characteristic

Food grade silicone tube

1) Food-grade silicone is a kind of environmentally friendly silicone, with non-toxic smell and high transparency;

2) Soft, elastic, kink resistance without deformation;

3) Non-cracking, long service life, cold and high temperature resistance;

4) With higher tear strength and superior electrical performance;

5) Place at room temperature unchanged yellow, no spray cream, no white, no fading, no scale in water for a long time, no odor.

Medical silicone tube

1) Medical silicone tube is cold and high temperature resistant, weak acid and alkali resistant, harmless, non-toxic and tasteless;

2) High transparency, high elasticity, strong UV resistance;

3) kinkiness resistance, no deformation, soft, arc resistance, corona resistance, chemical stability, physiological inertia, non-toxic and non-irritating to the human body, hydrophobic, breathable, excellent resilience, permanent deformation and other characteristics, can be used in -50 degrees to 250 degrees, special requirements can be up to degree, excellent insulation, can be used in high temperature conditions ethylene oxide disinfection;

4) In line with food and drug testing standards, placed at room temperature without yellowing, no spray, no white, no fading, no scale in water for a long time.

In short, most of the characteristics of food grade silicone tubes and medical silicone tubes are the same. These are the similarities and differences between them, I hope to help you.
