Reinforced silicone tubing
Reinforced silicone tubing is heavy-duty silicone tubing suitable for different industries where regular silicone tubing is not enough. Silicone is a material that has a lot of great characteristics, and practically the only drawback is its poorer tear strength compared to other rubber materials. This is usually not a problem when used for private use or in some industries, but there are also industries where due to the role of tubing as well as the environment, regular silicone is not enough. In such situations, reinforced silicone tubing is used, which can withstand even external influences that ordinary silicone tubing cannot.
Other than that, reinforced silicone tubing has all the other characteristics of silicone tubing. It is above all a fantastic resistance to high and low temperatures, as well as to sudden changes in temperature. Reinforced silicone tubing can be exposed to temperatures from minus 80 degrees Celsius, in some cases even lower, up to almost plus 300 degrees Celsius. No other rubber material withstands such a large temperature range so well. Also, silicone is odorless and tasteless, which allows it to be used in a variety of places. If silicone is a food grade, then it is perfect for the food industry. If it is not a food grade, then it is suitable for the chemical industry, the aero industry and many others.
When ordering reinforced silicone tubing, specify the inside and outside diameters, length, operating pressure, temperature and contact medium. We have a very large number of premade sizes, but as there are always clients who do not like any of these sizes, we provide the client with the opportunity to customize each part of the silicone tubing. Customization also includes choosing the right color, whether you want it to be transparent or some other color.
