Will silicone tube products produce burst edges during use?

In what situations the use of silicone tubes will cause some problems cannot be said that producing silicone products of this type can be used anywhere, but it may not be suitable for all industries that use pipes; of course, we often encounter such a situation, for example, a friend of mine bought silicone tubes to apply outside a villa, installing silicone tubes next to the road to replace aluminum pipes, but we do not recommend installing and using it this way. Although silicone tubes can be used in very harsh environments, the premise is that there are no human factors involved. Installing and using them next to the road is different. Installing silicone tubes outdoors is more dangerous than indoors, leading to more accidents of bursting. Generally, most accidents are caused by human factors, with the most common being drivers crushing the silicone tubes with their vehicles. Another point is the material issue. It is important to know that silicone tubes are divided into soft and hard types, and the materials used in the two types of tubes are different. Ultimately, in addition to human-caused bursting, there is also a reason related to material and production issues. During mold opening, when the temperature rises significantly, silicone products are prone to bursting. Conversely, if the temperature is too low, the molded tubes may have white spots, which can lead to bursting over long-term use.
Methods to solve the bursting problem:
1. When using silicone tubes outdoors and next to the road, we recommend a solution to wrap a layer of iron or steel pipe around the outside of the silicone tube. This will provide many safety guarantees for the silicone products during long-term use and will not cause bursting.
2. The second point must be the technical aspect of silicone tube production. Customers need to know that each silicone product specification has different molds. Only with the molds can they be formed, especially the control of the molding temperature during the production process is crucial. It is essential to control the details of high temperature and low temperature periods.
