Large-diameter silicone tubes are mostly used in transportation, automotive and shipbuilding industries. In the automotive sector, they are mainly applied in engine water cooling, intercooling and other systems.
Besides the automotive industry, large-diameter silicone tubes are also widely used in radio motors, communications equipment and aviation applications. In general, large-diameter silicone tubes are industrial-grade silicone tubes.
Although they are industrial silicone tubes, very strict requirements apply to their quality and performance. Since they are used in many key industrial systems and play vital roles, their product performance is subject to particularly rigorous standards.
As the name suggests, large-diameter silicone tubes feature a large inner diameter, which can meet the connection and conduit requirements of large-scale equipment. These tubes offer high elasticity and strong resilience, resist compression and maintain their shape even after long-term use. They also provide flame-retardant properties. Most commonly used large-diameter silicone tubes are made of imported silicone raw materials, which are non-toxic, odorless, environmentally friendly and highly transparent.
Compared with ordinary rubber hoses, large-diameter silicone tubes have superior heat resistance. They can maintain stable performance at temperatures below 150°C, and can withstand up to 20,000 uses at 200°C without performance degradation. For this reason, they have increasingly replaced traditional rubber hoses in various applications, greatly improving production safety. Especially those used in the automotive industry are subject to even stricter requirements.
The inner diameter of large-diameter silicone tubes can be customized to 5 mm as a minimum, while the outer diameter can reach up to 500 mm. The wall thickness can be as thin as 2 mm. This wide range of customizable dimensions allows the production of professional large-diameter silicone tubes for diverse industrial applications, supporting smoother industrial production.
