Suitable for ventilation exhaust smock, wet gas and dust, discharge of high temperature gas, and conducting cold or hot gas.
Ideal for particle drying agent transfer in the plastic industry, dust removal, exhaust welding, and stove gas.
Designed for high temp gas exhaust in aeronautical and military facilities and exhausting solid materials like powder.
Electric Insulation
Silicone has a high insulation grade, allowing it to withstand high electric voltage safely.
Non-metal Bellow
Can be used as a soft connection on pipes to avoid compression and expansion damage.
Temperature Resistant
Works at 260°C for long term and 300°C shortly; remains flexible even at -70°C.
Corrosion Resistant
The fiberglass cord acts as an ideal corrosion-proof layer for various pipeline environments.
Long Service Life
Without man-made damage, the hose is designed to serve for several decades.
Material Structure & Construction
Silicone ducting consists of three essential parts: a silicone coat, fiberglass cord, and spiral steel wire. The coat provides excellent temperature resistance and flame retardancy meeting DIN 4102-B1 standards.
The hose is extremely flexible, with a smallest bend radius equal to the outer diameter, ensuring it will not be sunken at bend status. The fiberglass cord offers a strong structure that is hard to tear, while the spiral steel wire provides excellent wear resistance against external damage in tough working conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the maximum temperature this silicone ducting can withstand?
A: It can operate at 260°C for the long term and can withstand short-term exposure up to 300°C. It also remains flexible at temperatures as low as -70°C.
Q2: Does the ducting meet any flame retardant standards?
A: Yes, the silicone coat makes the hose flame retardant, which meets the DIN 4102-B1 standard.
Q3: How flexible is the hose during installation?
A: The hose is extremely flexible. Its smallest bend radius is equal to its outer diameter, and it will not sink or collapse when bent.
Q4: What materials are used in the construction of the ducting?
A: It consists of three parts: a silicone coat for heat resistance, a fiberglass cord for structural strength, and a spiral steel wire for wear resistance.
Q5: Can it be used for electrical applications?
A: Yes, silicone has a high insulation grade, which allows the ducting to bear high electric voltage.
Q6: How does the ducting handle external wear and tear?
A: The integrated spiral steel wire offers excellent wear resistance, protecting the hose from external damage even in tough working environments.
