Silicone Tube Industry Applications & Innovation Trends: Ruixiang Precision's Path to Technological Leadership

1. Silicone Tube Characteristics & Classification: Ruixiang's Product Philosophy

Silicone tubes, as high-performance polymer products, exhibit exceptional chemical stability, thermal stability, biocompatibility, and processing performance due to their unique siloxane backbone structure. At Dongguan Ruixiang Precision Silicone Products Co., Ltd., based on a profound understanding of materials science, we have developed a comprehensive range of silicone tube products to meet the diverse needs of global customers.

Ruixiang Precision Silicone's product system includes two main series: High-Consistency Rubber (HCR) and Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR). Our LSR series, utilizing a two-component system, offers greater formulation flexibility, allowing adjustment of performance parameters according to specific customer needs. Classified by application field, we provide three major categories: Medical Grade, Food Grade, and Industrial Grade silicone tubes, each backed by corresponding international certifications and performance guarantees.

Our Food Grade silicone tubes comply with international food safety standards like FDA and LFGB, featuring high temperature resistance, transparency, and odorlessness. Medical Grade silicone tubes strictly adhere to ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards, ensuring sterility and biocompatibility. Industrial Grade silicone tubes offer properties like oil resistance, chemical resistance, and extreme temperature resistance based on the specific application environment, meeting the demands of the harshest industrial settings.

2. Application Solutions Across Industries: Ruixiang's Professional Contribution

The exceptional properties of silicone tubes have led to their widespread use across numerous fields. Ruixiang Precision Silicone, with its profound technical积累 (jīléi, accumulation), provides reliable solutions for fluid transfer, sealing protection, and insulation across various industries.

Medical & Healthcare Sector

In the medical industry, Ruixiang Precision Silicone's medical-grade silicone tubes are widely used in medical devices, drug delivery systems, and diagnostic equipment. As a company certified by ISO 13485 Medical Device Quality Management System, our medical silicone tubes, which directly contact human tissues or drugs, are guaranteed for extremely strict biosafety. Our innovative Medical Grade LSR technology, combining Extrusion Molding and Infrared Laser Curing, produces silicone tubes whose Tensile Stress and Hardness can be controlled within 8% of the batch-cast material specifications, surpassing industry averages.

A precision drug delivery catheter customized for a renowned European medical device manufacturer, with an inner diameter tolerance controlled within ±0.05mm, fully met their strict requirements for precise drug dosage control and received high praise.

Food & Beverage Industry

Ruixiang Precision Silicone's Food Grade silicone tubes play vital roles in food processing, brewing, and beverage production lines. Our innovative manufacturing process for food-grade high-temperature resistant transparent silicone tubes includes Mixing & Extrusion, Vulcanization & Deodorization, and Sterilization & Drying. By completely filling the silicone tube interior with hot water enabling internal-external exchange, the internal wall sterilization effect is significantly enhanced. Our Food Grade silicone tubes are certified by FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 and EU 1935/2004, ensuring food safety.

The transfer tubing supplied to a well-known American beverage enterprise maintained the original flavor of the beverage while extending service life by 40% compared to the previous product, helping the client substantially reduce maintenance costs.

Industrial & Special Applications

In the industrial sector, Ruixiang Precision Silicone's products find applications in automotive, aviation, electronics, and high-precision optical components, among others. Our innovative research, by adding silicone-crosslinked polyethylene to polyethylene tubes and employing Rotational Extrusion Process, increased the PE tube's Hooped Torsional Strength from 9.83 MPa to 19.58 MPa. This high-performance composite tubing performs excellently in demanding industrial environments and has been successfully applied in production equipment of several Fortune 500 companies.

The high-temperature resistant turbocharger hose developed for a German automotive manufacturer maintained excellent elasticity and sealing performance under continuous operating temperatures of 150°C, fully meeting the harsh demands of the automotive engine compartment.

3. Quality Standards & Testing Certification: Ruixiang's Quality Assurance

Quality control and standardization of silicone tubes are crucial for ensuring product safety and reliability. Ruixiang Precision Silicone has established a comprehensive quality assurance system, ensuring every batch meets the highest standards.

We strictly implement the Chinese National Standard GB/T 41593-2022 for technical requirements of extruded silicone tubes, while also meeting localized standards of target markets like Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea. Our quality inspections cover Dimensional Accuracy, Physical & Mechanical Properties, Environmental Resistance, and Functional Verification, among other aspects. The company's testing center is equipped with advanced equipment like Electronic Tensile Testers, Aging Test Chambers, and Durometers, ensuring full-process quality control from raw materials to finished products.

For medical silicone tubes, we conduct stringent Biocompatibility Tests in our own laboratory, ensuring the material is non-toxic and non-sensitizing. Food-grade silicone tubes pass Food Contact Material Safety Tests, ensuring they do not contaminate food. Our products have obtained certifications including ISO 9001, ISO 13485, FDA, LFGB, among others, ensuring clients can use our products with confidence regardless of their market.

4. Future Development Trends & Outlook: Ruixiang's Strategic Vision

Silicone tube technology and markets continue to evolve. Ruixiang Precision Silicone keeps pace with industry developments and is actively positioning itself in several frontier areas.
