High temp silicone square
High temp silicone square tubing is a different shape from what the name tubing suggests and how you are used to that tubing looks. Since the needs for high temp silicone tubing are very different, it is logical that they exist in different forms. Square shape is the most common shape needed for various industries, laboratories but also for home use. Since it is high temp silicone, it is very likely that it will be needed more often in different industries where it will be exposed to such temperatures, which cannot be found at home, but due to versatility, you can use it wherever you want.
You must have needed that type of tubing in your house many times and then you used it. As far as the industry is concerned, it is especially often used in the automotive and all similar industries. Silicone is one of the types of rubber that can withstand the highest temperatures and also the highest temperature changes, so it is an ideal choice for high temp square tubing. Silicone has been proven to suffer close to 300 degrees Celsius, and in many cases it will be able to withstand even higher temperatures than that, without any damage or dysfunction. It can also withstand a lot of pressure, allowing you to use high temp silicone square tubing in very harsh environments.
High temp silicone square tubing is also water and weather resistant, so it can be used for such use where it will be exposed to the most diverse weather conditions and this is another reason for its frequent use in the automotive industry. It is completely odorless, tasteless and in any other way safe for contact with food, so it is not uncommon to use it in the food industry. In this case, FDA-approved food grade silicone is used.
