What is a silicone coupler?

Silicone couplings are durable and performant for custom coolant piping. Silicone reinforced with 3 or 4 layers makes these hoses tough, reliable and flexible for temperatures from -55°C to +200°C. Handcrafted in China and quality inspected to high standards. Has a bright color, smooth, glossy finish. Use our hose clamp clamps to construct the exact bend and length you need.

Silicone couplers are molded rubber pieces that connect intake pipes and tubes in diesel powered vehicles and heavy equipment. These engine components resist high temperatures while providing strength and flexibility. They are especially suitable for connecting pipes within automotive mechanical systems. The flexibility and durability of silicone make it especially suitable for this purpose. Please let us know if you need a coupler to connect your car pipes, we will make the coupler with different silicone, its flexibility and durability are perfect for your car.

Types of Silicone Couplers

Choosing the right silicone coupler means choosing the right product type. Categories include silicone elbows, silicone pressure reducers, straight hoses, hump hoses and coiled hoses.

Silicone elbows contain a molded elbow (bend) that provides great flexibility. Typically, the angle of the bend is 45° or 90°. Dimensions include wall thickness, inner diameter, inner diameter, and length of leg 1 and leg 2.

Silicone reducers or silicone reducers provide a transition between different pipes or pipe sizes. Therefore, one end of the silicone coupler is larger than the other. Dimensions include hose inner diameter, hose outer diameter and length

Straight silicone hoses come in a variety of lengths and can be cut to size by your crew (usually with a razor) or fabricated to order. Silicone hose supports the use of metal clips and may contain fabric reinforcement.

Hump ​​hoses support slight intake adjustments and flex. They can also compensate for small deviations between metal pipes or pipes. Applications include air metering, throttle body assemblies, and inlets and outlets.

Packaging hose provides greater resistance to compression. They are wrapped in polyester mesh, fabric, or an extra layer of silicone.

Silicone performance

Silicone performance:

  1. Silicone products are based on silicon-oxygen (Si-O) bond as the main chain structure, the bond energy of C-C bond is 82.6 kcal/mol, and the bond energy of Si-O bond is in the organic silicon The medium is 121 kcal/mol, so the thermal stability of silicone products is high, and the chemical bonds of the molecules are not broken or decomposed under high temperature (or radiation exposure). Silicone is not only resistant to high temperatures, but also low temperatures, and can be used in a wide temperature range. Whether it is chemical properties or physical and mechanical properties, the change with temperature is very small;
  2. Electrical insulation properties. Silicone products have good electrical insulation properties, and their dielectric loss, withstand voltage, arc resistance, corona resistance, volume resistivity and surface resistivity are among the best in insulating materials, and their electrical properties are affected by temperature and frequency. impact is small. It is a stable electrical insulating material and is widely used in the electronics and electrical industries. In addition to excellent heat resistance, silicone also has excellent water repellency, which is the guarantee of high reliability of electrical equipment in wet conditions;
  3. Physiologically inert, polysiloxanes are among the most inactive compounds known. They are very resistant to biological aging, have no rejection reaction with animals, and have good anticoagulant properties;
  4. Low surface tension and low surface energy, the main chain of silicone is very flexible, and its intermolecular force is much weaker than that of hydrocarbons. Therefore, it has lower viscosity and weaker surface tension than hydrocarbons of the same molecular weight. Small surface energy and strong film-forming ability. This low surface tension and low surface energy are the main reasons for its many applications: hydrophobicity, defoaming, foam stabilization, anti-sticking, lubrication, glazing and other excellent properties.
