Firstly, let's discuss the extrusion process aspect.Transparent Silicone TubingDue to the influence, the product introduced here consists of 60% extruded parts. Besides the Y-shaped port, all other components are made using the extrusion process. The cross-section of the product is divided into two, with the upper part designed for passing through monitoring equipment.
Monitor probes are used to continuously observe the user's status, while the lower part of the silicone tube takes the shape of a very small semicircle, which is designed to conduct liquids or blood, and also serves as a hemostatic balloon. Its diameter is much smaller than the upper part and is a core component of the entire product. It is not made larger due to the necessity of constantly controlling the flow rate of the conducted fluid, ensuring it is neither too fast nor too slow.
Silicone TubingThe extruded material is made from 60°-70° rubber, all using sterile-grade silicone raw materials, and the manufacturing process takes place in a clean room environment. To put it simply, the transparent silicone tubes are processed from raw material compaction to final dispatch within a clean room, ensuring product safety and practicality. If the surface of the transparent silicone tube has suspended particles smaller than 10 micrometers, it is deemed不合格. Additionally, the air-borne dust carriers of viruses and bacteria can freely float and expose, leading to contamination of products in such an environment, which can directly affect the user through contact with the transparent silicone tube. This is something that must be prevented. The production environment is a factor affecting the transparent silicone tubes, which are high-transparency products. When in use, the tubes can be seen through with the naked eye, making it easier to observe the flow of liquids. The transparent silicone is free of any colorant or dye. Therefore, there is no need to worry about quality changes in the product. The original color is achieved by using only platinum curing agents, without any additional additives. For silicone tubes, this makes them more comfortable and reliable to use.
Transparent Silicone TubingAfter the extrusion process is completed, the molding process is required to配合 the Y-shaped port and extrusion drainage pipe. First, molds are opened according to the inner and outer diameters of the Y-shaped pipe and the requirements. The high-transparent molding material and pipe are then preheated and re-sulfonated. After a few minutes, the demolding process is carried out. Throughout this process, due to the hollow nature of the silicone conduit, the material will soften and flow into the extruded silicone conduit during the high-temperature molding process, potentially causing blockage. This would prevent the drainage at the Y-shaped port. Therefore, great care must be taken during the mold making process to ensure that space is left for stops to avoid blockages.
After the transparent silicone tube is demolded, it requires edge trimming, but the cuts should not be too large to avoid affecting the product's aesthetic appearance. This is because the mold is divided into two parts, and during the磨合 process, there are very fine pores especially at the mating line. These gaps allow silicone to flow in and become vulcanized. Therefore, when designing the mold for transparent silicone tubes, it is important to minimize the positive and negative tolerances as much as possible.
