Braided silicone tubing is manufactured using a separate process among silicone tubing products. It features braided threads inside the tube wall, also known as nylon fiber threads, fiberglass threads, etc., which enhance the pressure-bearing capacity of the tubing.Braided silicone tubing is also referred to as reinforced silicone tubing. It is a high-pressure-resistant silicone tube mainly used in special working environments.
Braided silicone tubing is produced under strictly controlled conditions and rigorous manufacturing procedures. It does not release any odor or taste into fluid media, making it an ideal choice for biopharmaceutical applications.It can comply with RoHS, food-grade FDA, medical-grade NSF, and German LFGB certifications, and is therefore highly popular in the market.
Similar products to reinforced silicone tubing include composite silicone tubing. The difference is that braided silicone tubing has a protective braided layer on the outer surface, while composite silicone tubing has cotton threads embedded within the tube body.
Properties of Braided Silicone Tubing
