- Overview of silicone tube extrusion process
The silicone tube extrusion process is a common method for producing silicone tubes. This process uses silicone as raw material, processes it on a specific extruder, and extrude the silicone to form a silicone tube with certain elasticity, insulation, high temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance. Silicone tubes are widely used in electronics, electrical appliances, medical, food, beverages, cosmetics, and various industrial fields. - Selection of raw materials for silicone tube production
The production requirements of silicone tubes require the selection of high-quality silicone rubber as raw materials, which needs to meet the following characteristics: - High purity: The impurity content in the silicone production process is extremely low, which can ensure the quality and reliability of silicone.
- High elasticity: Silicone itself has high elasticity and can be molded into tubes of various shapes and sizes.
- High temperature resistance: Silicone can work in high temperature environments without losing performance.
- Corrosion resistance: Silicone has high corrosion resistance and can work stably for a long time in acid and alkali environments.
- Silicone tube processing technology
The process of silicone production mainly includes formula design, silicone mixing, silicone extrusion, and subsequent processing of tubes.
Silicone formula design: According to production requirements and product performance, select the appropriate silicone rubber type and material ratio, and mix and debug.
Silicone mixing: Mix different types of silicone rubber materials according to the proportion, add fillers, additives and other materials, and obtain a uniform silicone rubber mixture through a pretreatment process.
Silicone extrusion: The silicone rubber mixture is transported to the extruder for heating, extrusion and extrusion forming, and the silicone strip is formed into a silicone tube through the extrusion mold.
Tube subsequent processing: For different silicone tubes, various subsequent processing can be carried out, such as vulcanization, compression, boron burning, acid leaching and other operations to improve the performance level of the silicone tube. - Advantages of silicone tube extrusion process
- The silicone tube has good high temperature resistance and can work in a high temperature environment of 50-300℃, and is not easy to deform.
- The silicone tube is light, soft, elastic and not easy to break.
- The surface of the silicone tube is smooth, not easy to stick to foreign matter, and has a certain self-cleaning property.
- The silicone tube does not contain any toxic and harmful substances, is harmless to the human body, and can be used safely.
- Summary
The above is a detailed introduction to the silicone tube extrusion process, including the selection of raw materials, processing technology, extrusion technology, subsequent treatment and other aspects. The silicone tube extrusion process has many advantages and can be used in various fields, with good market prospects and potential.
