Woven silicone tubingAlso known as reinforced silicone tubing, reinforced silicone tubing is divided into three types: inner, middle, and outer. Its main materials are silicone, fiberglass, and steel wire. It is a non-toxic, odorless, colorless product with good texture and no harm to the human body. According to different purposes, the material also varies. Generally, low-pressure materials are woven with fibers, while high-pressure materials are woven with steel wires. The more layers there are, the greater the pressure. In terms of hand feel, it has good toughness and elasticity, and is not easily permanently deformed by external forces, resulting in a smoother hand feel.

At present, the commonly used hydraulic pipe is the so-called outer braided silicone tube, which can enhance pressure, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, etc. The more layers there are, the greater the pressure. But for hydraulic pipes, they belong to internally woven silicone hoses, mainly relying on the inner reinforcement layer to resist pressure. Widely used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, biomedicine, cosmetics, and food processing, there are currently many manufacturers producing woven silicone tubes. So what should be noted when buying?

Firstly, when choosing, do not be blind. You should determine what kind of silicone tubing is needed, what it is used for, what properties and specifications are required.

Secondly, when choosing, be sure to carefully consider the sample. We are in a hurry, but the manufacturer is out of stock. The current production is not timely, and the staff may introduce you to other products of the same specifications and sizes. At this point, you must see the finished product before making a decision. You cannot buy products of the same specifications and sizes just because of urgent needs, as different materials may affect later use.

When buying, it is important to have an understanding of the materials used, as the raw materials for weaving silicone hoses include silicone, fiberglass, and steel wire, but the specific manufacturing processes are different. Generally, manufacturers will provide you with finished products made of different materials, some of which are steel wires and some are alloys. The two have different levels of pressure and need to be determined based on your actual needs. Finally, inquire with the relevant personnel whether it has been tested and inspected. Only through proper testing can its performance and stability be guaranteed.
