What is the difference between food grade silicone and ordinary silicone, and how to distinguish it

Hits: 569 img

1. Resolution

1. Color - translucent (ordinary silicone tube), highly transparent (food grade silicone tube)

2. Taste - slight taste (ordinary silicone tube), odorless (food grade silicone tube)

3. Tear resistance - it becomes milky white after being pulled (ordinary silicone tube), and does not change color after being pulled (food grade silicone tube)


2. Technical parameters

Product Name: Food grade silicone tube (food grade, domestic material, medical, odorless silicone tube, hygienic grade, high transparency)

Product specification: 0.5-50

Product color: high transparency; other colors can be customized

Temperature range: -60℃~240℃;

Product hardness: 40-70 degrees, other hardness can be customized according to requirements, silicone tube belongs to hose, soft

3. Product Features

1. Food-grade silicone tube is made of high-quality food-grade silicone raw material and platinum catalyst system, and is manufactured by unique extrusion process. It has excellent flexibility, kink resistance and deformation resistance, and has high tear strength. Compared with traditional Silicone tube with double-two-four vulcanization process, this product has the advantages of high transparency, odorless, non-toxic, high transparency, high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, long life, no hardening, no discoloration, no yellowing, no frosting after long-term use .

2. Food-grade silicone products have good physical and mechanical properties, high tear strength, and low adhesion to proteins. They can be used to transport various foods, beverages and various liquids, and are widely used in food-grade equipment and instruments in various industries.

4. Product performance

1. High and low temperature resistance: It can be used for a long time at 240°C, and it is still elastic at -60°C;

2. Electrical insulation properties: the dielectric properties of silicone tubes are excellent, especially at high temperatures, the dielectric properties are much higher than ordinary organic rubber, and the dielectric strength is almost not affected by temperature in the range of 20-180 °C;

3. Excellent weather resistance, ozone resistance and ultraviolet radiation resistance, no cracks will occur in long-term outdoor use. It is generally believed that the silicone tube can be used outdoors for more than 20 years.

5. Scope of application

Controlled products for food;

Connecting pipes for food machinery;

Water dispensers, coffee pots, water heaters, rice cookers, fish tanks, faucets, connecting pipes and conduits for laboratory instruments, etc.;

Electrical equipment and other casings;

Medical equipment connects tubing, catheters, etc.

The difference between ordinary silicone tube and platinum silicone tube:

Ordinary silicone tubes are vulcanized with silica gel and double-two-fourth vulcanizing agent. They have an odor, are easy to process, and have high output. They are suitable for the machinery industry; Toxic, its processing technology is complicated, the production output is relatively low, and the production cost is high. It is widely used in: small household appliances, such as: water dispenser, coffee machine, water heater; medical equipment, such as: peristaltic pump silicone tube, blood sample silicone tube, oxygen-absorbing silicone tube, etc.
