Braided Silicone Tubing: Properties & Applications
It has braided threads inside the tube wall — usually nylon fiber or fiberglass — which greatly improve the tubing’s pressure resistance.
It is also known as reinforced silicone tubing, a high-pressure type designed for special working environments.
It does not release odors or affect the taste of fluid media, making it an excellent choice for biopharmaceutical applications.
It meets RoHS, FDA, medical NSF, and German LFGB certifications, so it is highly popular in the global market.
The main difference is that braided silicone tubing has a protective braided layer on the outer surface,
while composite silicone tubing has cotton threads embedded inside the tube body.
