What is the difference between food grade silicone and ordinary silicone?

Distinguish

1. Color

Common silicone tube: translucent, food-grade silicone tube: highly transparent

2. Taste

Common silicone tube: slight taste, food grade silicone tube: no taste

3. Tear resistance

Common silicone tube: milky white after being pulled by force, food grade silicone tube: no color change after being pulled by force

Product characteristics

1, food-grade silicone tube is the use of high-quality food-grade silicone raw materials and platinum catalytic system, and a unique extrusion process, excellent flexibility, resistance to kinking does not deform, with a high tear strength, compared to the traditional double two or four vulcanization process of silicone tube, this product has high transparency, tasteless, non-toxic, high transparency, high temperature, low temperature, long life, long time use does not hard, no discoloration, no yellow This product has the advantages of transparency, odorless, non-toxic, high transparency, high temperature resistance, long service life, no hardness, no discoloration, no yellowing, no frosting, etc.

2, food-grade silicone products have good physical and mechanical properties, high tear strength, low adhesion to protein, can be used to transport a variety of food, beverage and various types of liquid, widely used in various industries food-grade equipment and equipment.

Product performance

1、High and low temperature resistance: it can be used for a long time at 240℃ and still has elasticity at -60℃.

2, electrical insulation properties: the dielectric properties of silicone tube is excellent, especially at high temperatures greatly exceeds the general organic rubber, dielectric strength in the range of 20-180 ℃ almost unaffected by temperature.

3, excellent weather resistance, ozone resistance and resistance to ultraviolet radiation performance, long-term use in outdoor does not occur cracking. It is generally believed that the silicone tube can be used outdoors for more than 20 years.
