It is a kind of reinforced silicone hose with a braided layer (such as polyester fiber or stainless steel wire) embedded in the wall to improve pressure resistance, tear resistance and high temperature resistance. According to the different reinforcing materials, it can be divided into:

 

Single layer braided hose: suitable for general industrial transportation, such as high temperature material transfer.

Multi-layer braided hose (e.g. four-layer braided): reinforced with stainless steel wire or polyester fiber, suitable for high-pressure environments, such as pharmaceutical, food processing and other fields.

 

Product Features

 

Physical Properties

Wide range of temperature resistance: it can work stably in the environment from -50℃ to 230℃, and some special models can withstand 300℃ for a short period of time.

High pressure resistance: the braided structure enables it to withstand high pressure, not easy to deform or rupture, suitable for vacuum and high pressure transportation.

Flexible and durable: anti-twisting, ozone and ultraviolet resistant, not easy to age in long-term use.

Chemical and hygienic properties

Non-toxic and odorless: certified by FDA, LFGB, etc., suitable for food and drug contact scenarios.
Chemical resistance: good resistance to acids, alkalis and organic solvents, but strong alkalis (such as sodium hydroxide) may react at high temperatures.
Easy to clean: Supports CIP (Cleaning in Place) and SIP (Steam In Place Sterilization), suitable for sanitary applications.

Functional design

Transparency options: Clear tube for easy observation of fluid status, black tube absorbs UV light to protect sensitive media.
Color warning: red, yellow and other bright colors are often used to identify hazardous fluids.

Application
 

Food and Pharmaceutical Industry

Food conveying: such as dairy products, beverage, beer filling pipes.

Pharmaceutical equipment: used for drug transfer, cell culture, disinfectant filling, etc.

Medical and Laboratory

Medical catheters: such as anesthesia, respiratory lines, requiring high biocompatibility.

Ultra-pure liquid transfer: high-precision fluid control in laboratory to avoid contamination.

Industrial and special environment

Chemical transportation: corrosion resistance makes it suitable for acid and alkali media or dust particles transportation.

Electronic and mechanical: used as cable sheathing, cooling lines, both insulation and high temperature resistance.

Aerospace: Stable performance in extreme temperatures (-60℃~250℃) and vacuum environments.

FAQ

 

Q: 1. Can reinforced silicone hose be used in the food or pharmaceutical industry?

A: Yes, but you must choose food grade or medical grade braided silicone hose that meets the standards of FDA, NSF 51, USP Class VI, etc. Industrial grade silicone hose may contain heavy metals or harmful substances and are not suitable for food contact.

Q: 2. What is the temperature range of silicone hoses?

A: Standard type: -40℃ ~ 250℃.
Special type: can withstand 300℃ for a short period of time.
Note: Prolonged over-temperature use will result in hardening, cracking or yellowing of silicone.

Q: 3. Why does silicone tube turn yellow? How to avoid it?

A: Reason:
High temperature (>140℃) accelerates oxidation.
Exposure to grease or chemical additives (e.g. some cleaning agents).
Raw materials containing heavy metals or vulcanization process is not up to standard.
Solution:
Choose odorless, anti-yellowing food-grade silicone.
Control the use of temperature, avoid contact with oil substances.

Q: 4. How much pressure can silicone braid reinforced hose withstand?

A: Single-layer silicone braided hose: suitable for low pressure (such as vacuum suction).
Four-layer silicone braid hose: higher pressure resistance, suitable for pharmaceutical equipment, laboratories.
Steel wire braided hose: strongest pressure resistance, can be used in hydraulic system.

Q: 5. Why does silicone tubing tend to bend when cleaned at high temperatures?

A: High temperature (e.g. steam cleaning) will reduce the rigidity of silicone, resulting in hose deformation.
Solution: Choose high-temperature resistant reinforced silicone hose (e.g. cloth or steel wire braid), or switch to low-temperature cleaning method.

Q: 6. What is the service life of silicone tube?

A: Conventional environment: 3~5 years (depending on the frequency of use and medium).
High temperature/chemical corrosive environment: may be shortened to 1~2 years.
