Our silicone hoses and tubing are high-performance options for a number of reasons. First, they’re solidly constructed, making them excellent choices for rugged environments, climate extremes, and rigorous operations.

Second, they resist a large range of environmental factors, including extreme temperatures, high humidity, corrosion, UV light, ozone, and electrochemical degradation, making them durable and reliable.

And another extremely important reason that our products are top choices for many different performance-demanding applications is the extensive testing they undergo. Read today’s blog to learn more about this testing.

In-house Raw Material Testing

Our testing capabilities at Flex Tech include testing raw materials at our facility. The tests we conduct check for the following, among other criteria:

• Hardness
• Tensile strength
• Elongation
• Tear strength
• Specific gravity
• Coolant immersion
• Oil immersion

Because we carefully check materials, we are able to achieve a high level of quality control, making use of only the raw material that meets our exacting standards. This way, we end up using only the best, top-quality material to create finished products, thus avoiding wasted time, money and resources.

In-house Finished Goods Testing

We also perform in-house testing of our finished goods to ensure our customers receive high-quality, high-performance silicone hoses and tubing they can rely on. Our finished goods testing includes:

• Burst testing for both fluid and air
• Dynamic life cycle testing
• Adhesion
• Abrasion
• Vacuum
• Heat aging
• Radial expansion
• Many other tests to assure integrity
