Custom Industrial Rubber Water Hose Manufacturers

When producing rubber water pipes, how does Jiaxing Tosun Rubber & Plastic Co., Ltd. select and control raw materials to ensure the long-term durability and good water flow performance of the water pipes?

1. Basic principles for raw material selection
The main function of rubber water pipes is to transport liquids. The selection of raw materials is crucial and directly related to the durability, sealing, pressure resistance, aging resistance and chemical resistance of the water pipes. Jiaxing Tosun Rubber & Plastic Co., Ltd. adheres to the following basic principles to select raw materials:
High performance requirements: Rubber water pipes must have good temperature resistance, pressure resistance, corrosion resistance, aging resistance and other characteristics, especially in extreme environments.
Environmental protection and health: Since water pipes are directly involved in water flow, raw materials need to meet food grade or environmental protection standards to ensure non-toxicity and no pollution to water quality.
Consistency and stability: The selected raw materials should have high consistency and stability to ensure that the quality of each water pipe in mass production is controllable and avoid the impact of material fluctuations on product quality.
2. Selection and application of silicone rubber
Silicone rubber is one of the important materials for making rubber water pipes, especially for water pipes used in high or low temperature environments. Jiaxing Tosun Rubber & Plastic Co., Ltd. mainly considers the following aspects when selecting silicone rubber:
Temperature resistance: Silicone rubber has strong resistance to high and low temperatures, and can maintain stable physical properties between -60°C and +250°C. For some occasions that require high temperature water flow, silicone rubber water pipes are an ideal choice.
Aging resistance: Silicone rubber has excellent UV resistance and can effectively resist aging caused by external factors such as light, oxygen, and moisture. This allows silicone rubber water pipes to be exposed to sunlight for a long time without losing elasticity or deteriorating.
Low toxicity: As an environmentally friendly material, silicone rubber does not contain harmful substances and meets food grade standards. It can be widely used in the production of drinking water pipes to ensure water quality safety.
3. Synthetic rubber and chemical resistance
In addition to silicone rubber, synthetic rubber (such as butyl rubber, EPDM, etc.) also plays an important role in the production of rubber water pipes. The selection of synthetic rubber is mainly based on its excellent chemical resistance and high elasticity:
Acid and alkali corrosion resistance: Synthetic rubber has strong acid and alkali corrosion resistance and is suitable for places with harsh chemical environments, such as agricultural irrigation, industrial pipelines and other fields.
High pressure resistance: Synthetic rubber can maintain good elasticity and sealing when subjected to high-pressure water flow, avoiding pipe rupture or leakage caused by water flow impact.
Excellent water flow performance: Synthetic rubber has a smooth surface and is not easy to adhere to dirt and sediment, which can ensure the smoothness and cleanliness of water flow, reduce the friction resistance of water flow, and thus improve water flow efficiency.
4. Ratio of plastics to other auxiliary materials
In the production of rubber water pipes, in addition to rubber materials, plastics and other auxiliary materials (such as fillers, reinforcing fibers, etc.) also play a vital role. Jiaxing Tosun Rubber&Plastic Co., Ltd. uses advanced material ratio technology to ensure that the water pipe has good durability and water flow performance.
Reinforced fiber: By adding high-strength reinforcing fiber (such as polyester fiber or steel mesh) to the rubber water pipe, the pressure resistance and wear resistance of the water pipe can be significantly improved. Reinforced fiber can effectively prevent the water pipe from deforming or rupturing under high pressure environment and extend its service life.
Plastic lining: Some water pipes are also coated with a layer of plastic material (such as PVC, PE, etc.) on the inner wall to improve the corrosion resistance, scale deposition resistance and impact resistance of the water pipe. The plastic lining can also improve the smoothness of the water pipe, reduce the resistance of water flow, and ensure smooth water flow.
5. Quality control of raw materials
Jiaxing Tosun Rubber&Plastic Co., Ltd. has very strict quality control of raw materials to ensure that each material meets the needs of the company and customers. The quality control link mainly includes the following aspects:
Supplier screening and certification: The company has established long-term cooperative relationships with many high-quality raw material suppliers to ensure that the source of raw materials is reliable and the quality is stable. All suppliers must pass a strict quality assessment and certification process to ensure that their materials meet international and industry standards.
Material inspection: All raw materials must undergo strict factory inspection before entering the production link. The company is equipped with professional testing equipment and technical teams to conduct comprehensive tests on physical properties, chemical properties, pressure resistance and other aspects of materials such as silicone rubber, synthetic rubber, plastics and reinforced fibers.
Batch tracking and management: In order to ensure the consistency and stability of materials during the production process, the company implements a batch management system and keeps detailed records of each batch of raw materials to ensure that when quality problems occur, they can be quickly traced back to the source and effectively handled and improved.
6. Process control during production
During the production process, Jiaxing Tosun Rubber & Plastic Co., Ltd. uses precise production processes to ensure that the various properties of rubber water pipes are in the best state:
Temperature and pressure control: In the vulcanization process, the control of temperature and pressure is crucial. The company strictly controls the temperature and pressure of each equipment in accordance with technical standards to ensure that the density, elasticity and hardness of each water pipe meet the requirements.
Uniform mixing: Uniform mixing of raw materials is crucial to the quality of rubber water pipes. The company uses advanced mixing equipment to ensure the uniform distribution of rubber, plastic, filler and other components to avoid uneven material distribution that leads to unstable water pipe performance.
Automated testing and adjustment: During the production process, automated testing equipment can monitor key parameters such as the size, thickness, and tightness of water pipes in real time. Once a deviation is found, the equipment will automatically adjust the production process to ensure that the quality of each water pipe meets the standards.
7. Environmental protection and sustainable development
As a company that focuses on sustainable development, Jiaxing Tosun Rubber & Plastic Co., Ltd. also pays great attention to the environmental protection of materials. In the selection of raw materials, recyclable, non-toxic and harmless materials are preferred to ensure that emissions during the production process meet environmental protection requirements and reduce the impact on the environment.
