GENERAL PURPOSE TUBES

The general purpose tubes and hoses are used for the general purposes which do not require high range of purity of the compound. These are mostly used in many domestic appliances and in the workshops or hobby applications because of their excellent flexibility.

MEDICAL/FOOD GRADE TUBES

These are specially designed hoses and tubes which are made in a manner so that they do not react with any medical or food material. They are sterilized in standard autoclaves in order to make them fit for the application in which they come in close contact with the food ingredients, body tissues and fluids or sensitive drugs. In this particular type of tubing the manufactured silicone tubes and hoses are completely tasteless, odorless, and non-toxic with a special property which does not support bacterial growth.

The high pressure tubes and hoses are made by strengthening their composition with wire or polyester braids which combats expansion and flattening. These tubes are mostly used when then the tubes are in direct contact with pressurized gases or suction is conducted. However, sharp edged clamps and fitting should be avoided near the tubes as they have low tensile strength and resistance to steam which may cause excessive wear and tear.

USES OF SILICONE TUBES IN THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR

Silicone has a multiple usage in the industrial sector because of its excellent properties and types which provide a very wide area for functioning. Some of these uses are:

Ptfe OR Teflon Bushes

PTFE or PolyTetraFluoroEthylene is a thermoplastic polymer that is used in the manufacture of various components that are of great demand in the polymer and other industries.

The PFTE compound is produced by free radical polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene. Because tetrafluoroethylene can explosively decompose to tetrafluoromethane and carbon, special apparatus is used for polymerization to prevent the hot spots that might cause dangerous side reactions. The process is initiated with the help of persulfate, which in turn homolyzes to generate sulfate radicals and the resulting polymer is terminated with sulfur ester groups. This is then hydrolyzed to give OH-end groups.

Ptfe OR Teflon Bushes

Since PTFE is insoluble in all chemical compounds, the polymerization is conducted using water emulsion. This compound is then used for the manufacture of PTFE bushes using advanced cutting edge technology, high-grade chemicals and components and modern day tools. This range is widely used in the chemical industry and is greatly acknowledged by the clients for their dimensions, reliability, performance, high tensile strength and corrosion resistance.

TYPES AND SIZES OF PTFE BUSHES

The PTFE or Teflon bushes are primarily produced in six varied types with multiple dimensions in each type. These types are:

➜

PTFE MOULDED BUSHES
These are the bushes which are widely used in many industries because of their properties that make them chemically resistant, light weight and non-toxic.

➜

PLASTIC PTFE BUSH
The PTFE raw material is used to fabricate a wide range of plastic PTFE bushes which have varied lengths ranging up to 6000mm. They are light weight, corrosion and chemical resistant, non-toxic and low moisture absorbency.

➜

PTFE BUSH CLASSIC
These are light weight PTFE bushes which have high tensile strength, low moisture absorbency, dimensionally accurate, chemical and corrosion resistance. The most distinguishing feature about these bushes is that they are non toxic and can withstand extreme temperature and pressure conditions.

➜

EFLON BUSH
These are developed with keeping in mind the universally accepted quality norms and standards. The range is extremely used in the industry because of its excellent properties of abrasion and corrosion resistance, extremely high tensile strength and longest operational life.

➜

TEFLON MOULDING BUSH
These are manufactured using superior grade PTFE/Teflon raw material, advent tools and sophisticated technology to give a range of Teflon molding bushes which are abrasion and corrosion resistant, dimensionally accurate, high tensile strength and durable.

➜

PTFE FIBRE MOULDED BUSHES
These bushes are designed with utmost precision to provide a product with smoother operations leading to maximum client satisfaction. The technical specifications of the product are (this is just one of the products under the category as an example. However, multiple sizes and dimensions can be made on order from the client):

• Outer dimension: 12.5 mm to 300mm

• Inner dimension: 6mm to 275 mm

• Length: 100mm
