How are silicone hoses manufactured and what materials are used?
Silicone tubing is manufactured through a process called extrusion. This involves forcing liquid silicone rubber material through a special machine called an extruder. The extruder has a screw that pushes the liquid silicone material through a nozzle, creating the desired shape of the tubing.
The main materials used in the production of silicone tubing are silicone rubber and various additives. Silicone rubber is a flexible and durable material that remains stable at high temperatures and has good chemical resistance. There are different types of silicone rubber, which are selected according to the requirements of the hose.
In addition to the silicone rubber, various additives can be added to the material to improve certain properties of the silicone hose. These include, for example, stabilizers to increase ageing resistance, dyes to colour the hose and fillers to improve the mechanical properties.
After the extrusion process, the silicone hoses are often subjected to a further step, such as cross-linking or vulcanization, to further improve the physical properties of the material. This process increases the durability and heat resistance of the tubing.
In summary, silicone hoses are manufactured by extruding liquid silicone rubber material using various additives to achieve the desired properties of the hose.
