Firstly, let's discuss the extrusion process aspect.Transparent Silicone TubingThe product introduced here features 60% of the components made through extrusion, with the exception of the Y-shaped port. The cross-section of the product is split, with the upper half designed for passing through monitoring equipment.
Monitor probes are used to constantly observe the user's condition, while the lower part of the silicone导管 is shaped into a very small semicircle, which is designed for guiding fluids or blood. It is also used to create hemostatic balloons. The diameter is much smaller than the upper part, yet it is the core component of the entire product. The reason for not making it larger is to ensure constant control over the flow rate, which should not be too fast or too slow.
Silicone TubeThe extruded sections are made from 60°-70° rubber material, all using sterile-grade silicone raw materials, and the manufacturing environment is strictly within a clean room. To put it simply, the transparent silicone tubes are processed from raw material refinement to final production in a dust-free environment, ensuring product safety and practicality. If the surface of the transparent silicone tube has particles smaller than 10 micrometers, it will be deemed不合格. Moreover, in an environment where dust carriers of viruses and bacteria are carelessly airborne, products are inevitably exposed to erosion, which can directly affect users through contact with the transparent silicone tube. This is a situation that must be prevented at all costs. This highlights the impact of the production environment on transparent silicone tubes. As high-transparency products, these tubes allow for a clear view through the pipe, facilitating the observation of liquid flow. The transparent silicone is free of any colored rubber or colorant, so there is no need to worry about quality changes. The pure, natural color is achieved using only platinum vulcanizing agents, making the silicone tubes more comfortable and reliable for use.
Transparent Silicone CatheterAfter the extrusion process is completed, the molding process is required to配合 to allow the Y-shaped port and extrusion conduit to blend. First, molds are prepared according to the inner and outer diameters of the Y-shaped tube and the specifications. The high-transparent molding material and conduit are then re-sulphurized together after being preheated at high temperatures. After a few minutes, the demolding process is conducted. Throughout this process, since the silicone conduit is hollow, the material will soften and flow into the extruded silicone conduit during the high-temperature molding, potentially causing blockages. This would prevent the Y-shaped port from draining. Therefore, great attention must be paid to leaving adequate positioning during the tooling manufacturing process to avoid any blockages.
After the transparent silicone tube is demolded, it requires deburring, but care must be taken not to create excessive gaps as it may affect the product's aesthetics. This is because the fixture is divided into two parts, and during the磨合 process, there are very fine pores and gaps, especially at the mating line. These gaps allow silicone to flow in and cure with added sulfur. Therefore, the design of the fixture for the transparent silicone tube should aim for the smallest possible positive and negative tolerances.
