This invention belongs to the technical field of rubber hoses, specifically relating to an antibacterial hose for conveying food and its manufacturing process. It comprises an inner rubber layer coated with a
quaternary ammonium salt
antibacterial agent, a reinforcing layer treated with the
antibacterial agent, and an outer rubber layer treated with
antifungal agents. The
quaternary ammonium salt
antibacterial agent is a compound of food-grade
alkyl dimethyl benzyl
ammonium chloride and disdecyl dimethyl
ammonium chloride. The reinforcing layer is prepared by impregnating / spraying
polyester fibers with the
quaternary ammonium salt antibacterial agent, followed by
drying and curing, and then simultaneously winding and laminating it with food-grade low-density
polyethylene. The outer rubber layer is uniformly distributed with a pre-dispersed
antifungal agent, effectively inhibiting the growth of mold in the high-temperature and high-
humidity environment of
food processing. The antibacterial hose is manufactured through a process of spraying the inner rubber layer with the antibacterial agent, impregnating the reinforcing layer with the
antifungal agent, pre-dispersing the antifungal agent, and mixing. This process achieves beneficial effects such as a >99.99% inhibition rate against common
pathogenic bacteria, long-lasting antibacterial performance, zero-mold growth on the outer rubber layer (grade 0), stable mechanical properties, and excellent anti-aging properties.
