Silicone Hose for Laminated Glass – ID 8.5mm × OD 17mm
Silicone Hose – AM-LVA004 for Glass Lamination
Product Overview
The AM-LVA004 silicone hose is a precision-engineered tubing solution, purpose-built for laminated glass manufacturing processes. Often used alongside our silicone bag (AM-LVA001), this flexible hose serves as a reliable conduit for air, vacuum, or fluid transfer during autoclave curing. Its compact 8.5 mm inner diameter and 17 mm outer diameter make it ideal for connecting fittings, vacuum ports, and pressure lines where heat resistance and airtight seals are non-negotiable.
Crafted from premium silicone rubber, this tube retains its elasticity under repeated thermal cycles, ensuring consistent performance in demanding industrial environments.
Key Features & Benefits
• Flexible Yet Durable – Remains pliable for easy routing around machinery, while resisting compression set and wear over time.
• Precise Dimensions – 8.5 mm inner diameter × 17 mm outer diameter ensures a snug, leak-proof fit on standard nozzles and adapters.
• Non-Toxic & Inert – Silicone material does not react with glass interlayers or adhesives, maintaining product purity.
• Smooth Inner Wall – Minimises flow resistance and prevents clogging during vacuum or coolant circulation.
• Long Service Life – Excellent ageing resistance reduces replacement frequency, saving maintenance costs.
