Silicone Tubing Features And Applications

Tushun Products sells a comprehensive range of silicone tubing. With many different types and sizes, you are sure to find a product suitable for your application.

The tubing has good physical properties. It is flexible and can be stretched without tearing. This means that the material can be worked round and round without weakening. It is also easy to wrap up and store the tubing when it is not in use.

The material is also clean and non-toxic, it is good for a broad range of temperatures and can handle sudden temperature changes.

These properties make it desirable in a whole range of industrial and household applications.

Silicone tubing has other properties too that make it suitable for certain specialist functions. The material often has a translucent quality, so is often used as industrial tubing for transporting food products and powders, while giving operators some visibility of the inside of the tube.

Many kinds of silicone tubing are also non-toxic and odourless, so they won’t interact negatively with edible products that pass through. These tubes, which are wider than other tubes, can be used in a similar way in the medical sector.

Silicone tubing has good chemical resistance too, which means that it is easy to clean and sterilise the tubes.

Smaller sized tubes are often used as cable sleeving and other electronic applications because silicone tubing has good weather, UV, radiation and ozone resistance.
