The application differences of different types of silicone hoses such as woven silicone hoses and colored silicone hoses

It has good elasticity, is not easy to leak, and is practical. Silicone tubing is a common household item in daily life, which has the function of transporting flowing substances such as liquids and gases. The transparent tube body is usually used in this application, and the advantage of transparency is that it can detect some problems inside the tube in a timely manner, which is commonly used in household appliances.
Black silicone tubing is more commonly used in industry because of its good electrical insulation, so more wires and cables are wrapped around it. By adding different colors, people can have a more intuitive understanding of whether the carrier inside the tube is harmful to the human body. If it is something that cannot be directly touched by the human body, bright colors such as red and yellow can be used as a warning.
There are also some black or red silicone tubes, which have the same performance as transparent silicone tubes and black silicone tubes, with the only difference being the color, except for some custom-made special materials. Due to its wide range of applications, many industries use silicone tubes of different qualities and colors to meet market demand. On the other hand, because black can absorb ultraviolet rays, it plays a protective role for some materials.
How to choose silicone tubing for different environments? If only the usage environment is required, pressure only requires water. You can choose: solid silicone tubing. This type has a relatively low price, but the transparency is not good enough. In addition, liquid silicone tubing can also be chosen, but it is more expensive than solid tubing and cannot be made too hard. However, its transparency is much higher than that of solid tubing.
Secondly, for those operating in high-temperature environments, braided silicone tubing is used in the requirements of high-temperature resistant silicone tubing, even in biopharmaceuticals. Therefore, when choosing, it is necessary to consider one's own conditions and usage location so that a good device can be selected.
With the development of energy conservation and low pollution, the working environment of high-temperature resistant silicone hoses for radiators has undergone significant changes. For example, the temperature inside the engine compartment has risen from 110 ℃ to 125 ℃, and even up to 175 ℃. The radiator hoses usually produced by sulfur vulcanization systems are gradually being replaced by those manufactured by peroxide systems. Therefore, woven silicone tubes, transparent silicone tubes, and black silicone tubes are different due to their different raw materials and will not change their properties due to their different appearances.
