Braided Silicone Tubing Manufacturer
Inner braid & outer braid constructions
CS Rubber Products Co.ltd is a manufacturer of custom braided silicone tubing, producing platinum-cured silicone tubes reinforced with high-strength fiber braiding. We manufacture two main constructions: inner-braided and outer-braided silicone tubing, designed for different pressure, vacuum and environmental requirements.
With flexible production and customization capabilities, we supply reinforced silicone tubing in different dimensions, colors, braid structures and specifications. Products can be developed according to customer drawings, samples and application requirements.

Types of Braided Silicone Tubing
The position of the reinforcing braid determines the structural characteristics of braided silicone tubing. CS Rubber Products Co.ltd offers two main constructions: inner-braided silicone tubing and outer-braided silicone tubing.
Inner Braid TubingHigh pressure
|
Strong internal pressure resistance
The inner-braid construction is designed for higher internal pressure applications. Actual working and burst pressure ratings depend on tube dimensions, reinforcement specifications and test results.. On the standard 10 mm ID inner-braid specification, working pressure reaches 30–60 bar and burst pressure ≥120 bar.
Outer Braid TubingExternal protection
|
Three differences from an exposed braid
Strong external protection: the braid absorbs abrasion, impact and UV aging at the surface, extending the life of the inner tube.
Vacuum and anti-collapse: The external braid provides additional structural support and may improve resistance to deformation under vacuum conditions, depending on the braid construction and tube specifications.
Lightweight and lower cost: 15%–30% lighter than inner-braid tubing, simpler to produce and lower in unit price — suited to standard low-pressure duty.
Inner Braid vs. Outer Braid: What Is the Difference?
Decide what dominates the application first: the pressure inside the tube, or the environment around it. Both constructions use the same platinum-cured silicone — only the braid position changes.
| Item | Inner braid tubing | Outer braid tubing |
|---|---|---|
| Inner layer | Food-grade / medical-grade platinum-cured silicone, smooth bore | Standard platinum-cured or industrial-grade silicone, focused on temperature resistance |
| Braid fiber | Chemical-resistant polyester, aramid | Polyester, fiberglass, nylon |
| Braid focus | Media resistance Tensile strength | Abrasion Weathering UV resistance |
| Outer structure | Thin silicone or fluorosilicone skin; locks the braid, prevents fraying | Braid exposed on the outside; takes abrasion, impact and UV directly |
| Pressure | Burst typically 1.5–3× outer braid; 10 mm ID standard: 10–60 bar working, ≥120 bar burst | External braid supports the tube under vacuum and resists collapse; suited to standard low-pressure duty |
| Weight & cost | Heavier, more complex to produce | 15%–30% lighter, simpler process, lower unit price |
| Typical use | High pressure · clean media | Vacuum lines · abrasion / outdoor |

10 Production Lines — Multi-Product Capacity
Multiple lines allow coordinated scheduling across different product types, which is useful for buyers sourcing more than one specification or running multi-SKU projects.
Lead time, production scheduling and order quantity are confirmed based on tubing specification, material requirements and order details.
Applications: Irrigation, Automotive, Pneumatics, Chemical
From field irrigation to workshop pneumatics, chemical lines and vehicle plumbing, braided silicone tubing always solves the same two problems: pressure and abrasion.
