SILICONE HOSE ASSEMBLIES
Silicone hose assemblies are flexible hoses made from silicone rubber, often reinforced with materials such as polyester or Kevlar, and designed to handle a wide range of fluids, gases, or chemicals in various applications. They are known for their temperature resistance, flexibility, and resistance to aging, chemicals, and other environmental factors.
- Automotive:
Used in engine cooling systems, turbocharger systems, and other applications requiring heat and pressure resistance.
- Food and Beverage:
Used for transferring liquids like water, juice, and dairy products due to their non-toxic and sanitary properties.
- Pharmaceutical and Laboratory:
Used in low-pressure fluid handling and sample transfer due to their biocompatibility and resistance to contamination.
- General Industrial:Used in various applications for transferring air, light chemicals, and other fluids.
Key Characteristics:
Material: | Typically made from platinum-cured silicone rubber, ensuring purity and resistance to degradation. |
Reinforcement: | Often reinforced with materials like polyester braid or stainless steel wire to increase pressure resistance and prevent kinking. |
Temperature Resistance: | Can withstand a wide range of temperatures, from very low to very high, depending on the specific application and reinforcement. |
Chemical Resistance: | Resistant to many chemicals, oils, solvents, and acids, making them suitable for diverse applications. |
Flexibility: | Remain flexible even under extreme temperatures and pressure, allowing for easy installation and routing. |
Fittings: | Can be customized with various fittings that suit specific connection requirements. |
