Food safe silicone tubing
We have been manufacturing a wide variety of rubber products for a long time now, and our products are used across various industries, as well as many households all over the globe. We are not lying to you when we say that between all those rubber products, rubber tubing is one of the most popular and most commonly used products in our whole catalogue. One of the most prevalent rubber tubing in our catalogue is definitely food safe silicone tubing. Why? Well, there are a few reasons, but the most obvious one is definitely the fact that even the top-of-the-line, highest-quality food safe silicone tubing is a lot more affordable than, say, cheap, low-quality plastic tubing. Of course, price isn’t the only factor, as silicone tubing is a lot better than plastic tubing in pretty much every single conceivable aspect.
Food safe silicone tubing is naturally the most popular in the food industry, as you can tell from the name, but that is not where it is exclusively used. Many other industries use this same tubing, only for a slightly different purpose. If you’re wondering why and how’s that the case, you don’t have to anymore – here’s why.
As you can tell from the name, food safe silicone tubing is made from silicone, a synthetic rubber known for its remarkable properties. For instance, unlike many other rubbers, silicone can withstand both very high and very low temperatures, ranging from negative 70 to positive 270 degrees Celsius. But, heat resistance isn’t the only reason why this tubing is “food safe”. Silicone tubing is also chemically stable and non-toxic, which means it can come in touch with any sort of food without contaminating it. In fact, it will keep it safe for human consumption, amongst many other remarkable things it will do.
