With the continuous improvement of people’s living standards, attention to the safety standards of products and their supporting components has gradually increased. Silicone tubes, as one of the most widely used supporting products, have become indispensable in industry, food, medical treatment, biopharmaceuticals and other fields.They range from silicone tubes for baby bottles used in daily life, connecting tubes for the food and medical industries, to conveying and connecting tubes for industrial machinery and protective sleeves for industrial products.However, how many people understand the applicable standards?Below, Shenzhen Taihua Silicone Products Co., Ltd. explains the application standards of silicone tubes in daily use.Common environmental protection standards for silicone tubes are divided into four grades:
RoHS
FDA
LFGB
Biocompatibility Report
The environmental protection standards tested in these four reports are different, so their environmental protection levels also vary accordingly.
1. RoHS Testing (Industrial Grade Silicone Tubes)
Covers 6 restricted substances: lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (Cr⁶⁺), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs).From now on, expanding the list to 10 restricted substances, with the addition of dibutyl phthalate (DBP), benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD).Industrial grade silicone tubes are widely used as essential supporting parts in industrial machinery, equipment, electronics, toys, electrical appliances and other fields.
2. FDA Testing (Food Grade Silicone Tubes)
U.S. Food and Drug Administration standard, tested in accordance with 21 CFR 177.2600.Food grade silicone tubes are widely used for conveying and connecting in the production of food, beverages, drinking water and other products.
3. LFGB Testing (Food Grade Silicone Tubes)
German Food and Commodities standard, including sensory testing, total migration, volatile organic compounds, peroxide residues, and organotin testing.LFGB-certified food grade silicone tubes are most commonly used for baby bottles in China, as newborns and infants have relatively low resistance.The LFGB standard is also one of the most frequently required certifications for customers exporting to Europe and the United States.
4. Biocompatibility Report (Medical Grade Silicone Tubes)
Routine testing includes five items:
Cytotoxicity
Sensitization
Skin irritation
Systemic toxicity
Hemolysis for blood compatibility
Medical grade silicone tubes are widely used as essential conveying and connecting components in medical machinery, medical instruments, medical devices, biopharmaceuticals and other fields.
