What do you think of the alternative environmental protection rubber products?

As we all know, silicone products are currently the most suitable materials for our living environment. They can be used as different adhesive products, such as children's products, daily necessities, kitchen supplies, etc. However, today's thing we are going to talk about is not silicone material, but has the same performance and advantages of silica gel material. Have you ever understood?

Most engineers in the rubber and plastic industry all know that TPE and silica gel are very similar, and the use environment and function of silica gel products and TPE products are not very different. In some mechanical and electronic parts These two kinds of materials can be used in waterproof sealing effect, children's gift toys, etc., and now the two kinds of materials are widely used, which one is more inclined to you, but what makes people wait and see is who will be in the future of modern science and technology era to occupy the advantage and the wind?

We should know that the origin of silica gel materials originated from the 18th century, and thermoplastic TPE was born in the middle of the 19th century, and began to be commercialized at the end of the 19th century. As for some hard plastic products, the development time of thermoplastic materials is far behind that of silica gel materials historically. From the technical level, TPE materials have gradually improved in the past decade, Since 1972, the study of soft thermoplastic elastomer to the application of soft TPE has been used for nearly 50 years, and is widely used today!

The difference between silicone products and TEP products:

Silicone rubber products:

1. Environmental friendly silica gel can be used as medical grade to contact the interior of human body

2. It has good resistance to environment and solvent

3. Good pull back elasticity, no deformation, no fading

4. Good resistance to high and low temperature, aging resistance and corona resistance

5. Good heat insulation effect, high density, wide range of use

6. Raw material deployment, silica gel products manufacturers need to carry out mixing process, dissolve raw materials into vulcanizing agent, and cut into pieces after adding color glue!

TPE products:

1. It has good elasticity, weather resistance, aging resistance, oil and ozone resistance

2. Single processing, injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, molding, trimming

3. Hot welding, small tolerance, high precision, high efficiency, rich color

3. Soft material, strong rebound, good fatigue resistance and aging performance

4. Processing performance is simple and superior, no need to vulcanize, can be reused

In conclusion, TPU and silica gel materials are not better and best, but they still need to be treated according to the situation. It can be proved that silicone rubber products can be called environmental protection materials, but as mechanical seals, oil seals and construction engineering accessories and miscellaneous parts, TPE can still be selected, And to choose a strong environmental protection, high and low temperature resistance, good pull-up rebound strength or choose silicone rubber material is better! Different environment and function choose different material!
