Hello everyone, I am the editor. Today I will introduce you to food grade silicone. The following content is compiled by the editor and the relevant content is for reference only.

The use of food-grade silicone tubes is mainly used in food processing. Food-grade silicone tubes are a common type of silicone tubes. Different silicone tubes also have their own special advantages. Let's talk about the special advantages of food-grade silicone tubes.

The characteristics of food-grade silicone tubes are good biocompatibility, high-quality air permeability or alternative air permeability, high weather resistance and high sterilization resistance. Biocompatibility is a description of the interaction between biomedical materials and organisms. It is an essential standard for medical materials, including blood compatibility, tissue compatibility and biodissolution rate; it can change the digestion method of therapeutic drugs, control the release rate and location of therapeutic drugs, and consider the efficacy required for disease treatment; no toxic side effects, that is, analytical chemical ductility, means that the raw material itself is harmless and does not produce harmful substances.

Food-grade silicone tubes are silicone rubber plastic hoses for diagnosis and treatment and nursing. The requirements are single color, minimal damage to tissue cells, and no compounds that harm the performance of drugs due to migration. Food-grade silicone tubes come into contact with a variety of drugs, tissue cells and biological organisms, and are often sterilized under high temperature and high pressure or in various chemical disinfectants; some must also be stored for a long time under low temperature conditions, which places strict requirements on the physical and industrial properties and chemical performance stability of silicone products.
