From automotive to construction, the many (many) benefits of silicone hoses!

Silicone is a versatile material that has found a wide range of applications in various industries. The dependable and quality components of silicone make it an excellent material for a variety of applications, from construction and automotive, all the way to industrial applications to name a few.

Construction and Engineering

Silicone is widely used in construction and engineering. They provide a waterproof, airtight, and flexible seal that can withstand extreme temperatures, UV radiation, and weathering. Their durable properties are favoured as they help provide longevity to production projects, whereas their ability to withstand those extreme temperatures make them a common appliance in many climates and construction applications.

Automotive Industry

The automotive industry is one of the primary users of silicone hoses. They are used in high-performance engines to transfer air, coolant, and other fluids. Silicone hoses are preferred over other types of hoses because they are more durable and can withstand high temperatures and extreme pressures. They are used in a variety of automotive applications, including turbochargers, intercoolers, radiators, and air intake systems.

Food and Beverage Industry

Silicone hoses can regularly be found in the food and beverage industry, being used in various applications such as food & beverage dispensing. As long as the silicone used is FDA approved, using specific platinum curing methods, silicone can be incredibly effective, given its resistance to high temperatures, allowing it to withstand harsh cleaning chemicals, while also making them easy to clean and maintain. With this in mind it’s important to choose a supplier that is approved & trustworthy. Viper Performance offer a range of silicone hoses that are FDA approved and ready to be sent out.

Rail Industry

In the rail industry, silicone can be especially effective, due to its unique properties and characteristics. For starters thanks to it’s excellent electrical insulation, it can be used in electrical connectors, cables and wires, ensuring reliable and safe electrical connections. Silicone can also have good resistance to high temperatures, which is beneficial in the rail industry where components can be exposed to heat generated by the friction of trains or nearby engines. Viper Performance, offer a range of silicone products with low toxicity grade components, another vital component in rail industry manufacturing.
