Reinforced silicone rubber tubing food grade
Reinforced silicone rubber tubing food grade has a very wide application because due to the characteristics of silicone, as well as due to additional reinforcements, it can be used in practically any environment that may exist in the food industry. Whether it is the production of food, various alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, sterilization, vacuum, pressure or anything else, reinforced silicone rubber tubing food grade will meet all the requirements in the current situation. In the food industry, it is not uncommon to be exposed to very low and extremely high temperatures, but silicone tolerates this very well.
And how exactly is reinforcement achieved? Inside the silicone rubber tubing food grade, polyester or fiberglass is placed to strengthen it. Polyester is used for smaller diameters, and fiberglass for larger diameters. To further strengthen, silicone coating with high mechanical resistance or platinum silicone is used, both further reducing the likelihood of damage. According to FDA rules, reinforced silicone rubber tubing food grade complies with regulations because it will not compromise the quality, safety or taste of food and beverages in any way.
What is very useful is that you can choose a custom color. At first glance, it may seem that you don’t need it, but when you get into a situation where you have a lot of different silicone tubes, you won’t be able to tell them apart if their colors aren’t different. So you can order in many different colors and then you will know exactly what it is for, without having to go to the tubes and check, which is complicated because they can be found in hard to reach places.
Silicone tubing is very elastic and flexible, so you can fit it in different places. Hardness as well as wall thickness vary because different industries have different needs. It is possible to order custom size.
