In the factory, we can often see the colored silicone hose. But in our daily life, it’s more likely to use a transparent silicone hose. For example, the coffee machine hose. So here comes the question that are these two hoses the same?
Silicone tubes are common daily necessities. They are mainly used to circulate liquids, gases and some other raw materials. The common ones are basically transparent silicone tubes. The benefit of transparency is that some problems in the pipe can be solved in time. For example, food blockage, liquid changes, etc. can be clearly seen. They are mostly used on electrical appliances.
There are also colored silicone tubes, which are used more in industrial production. The dielectric strength of silicone tubes is good. Therefore, it is necessary to use some cables and wires for wrapping. In addition, different colors can make people more intuitively understand whether the medium in the silicone tube is harmful to the body. If the body cannot be directly contacted, bright colors such as red and yellow silicone tubes can be used as warnings.
Besides, there are also some black or white silicone tubes. Their functions are exactly the same as transparent silicone tubes and colored silicone tubes. The difference is only the color (except for some silicone tubes customized with special materials). Silicone tubes are widely used, so factories will make silicone tubes of different qualities and colors to meet market needs. On the other hand, black can absorb ultraviolet light. Therefore, for some materials, black silicone tubes also have a protective effect.
In a word, the transparent silicone hose has the same properties with colored ones. In some special applications, it should be colored hose. Hiteck is a hose manufacturer with 16 year’s experience.
