How to distinguish between ordinary silicone tube and imported silicone tube?

  Recently, I often receive such inquiries from customers. Customers want to purchase a batch of silicone tubes, but they don’t know whether to choose ordinary or imported ones. As a professional senior silicone tube manufacturer, I will tell you what is ordinary silicone tube and imported silicone tube (platinum silicone tube). Tube), what is the difference between them?
   Generally, ordinary silicone tubes are mainly used to protect the circulation of carriers in special environments such as industry, electronics, instruments, transportation pipelines, and household appliances. Imported silicone tubes are food-grade or medical-grade silicone tubes, which are mainly used for food appliances (coffee pots, boiling kettles, ironing buckets, rice cookers, oil pots, drinking fountains, machines, bread machines, tools, water heaters), medical equipment (silicone Pipe joints, infusion tubes, catheters) and so on.
Ordinary silicone tube is generally made of ordinary silica gel and traditional curing agent. The cost is low, but it will gradually turn yellow after a period of use. It will also reduce physiological inertia after long-term use. However, it has outstanding advantages such as convenient processing and high output. It is very suitable for machinery. industry.
The imported silicone tube is made of high-quality silicone raw materials and platinum curing agent. Compared with traditional silicone tubes, it is safe and environmentally friendly, has high transparency, resistance to yellowing, stretch resistance, non-toxic and odorless, long service life, physiological inertness and biological inertness. Anti-aging and other characteristics, use more assured. However, the processing technology of imported silicone tube is complicated, the output is relatively low, and the production cost is high. Products produced by professional manufacturers must be selected to better ensure product quality and performance.
When purchasing silicone tubes, you need to determine their use first, and then distinguish their different characteristics.
1. Look at the transparency: ordinary silicone tube has poor transparency, low surface gloss, poor reflection and large fog. Imported silicone tube has high transparency, good stability and bright hand feeling.
2. Smell: Compared with imported silicone tubes, ordinary silicone tubes are irritating, so ordinary silicone tubes cannot be used in food utensils, which is not conducive to human safety and health.
3. Pull the silicone tube: Hold the silicone tube with both hands and pull both ends. If it is whitish, it is an ordinary silicone tube, otherwise it is an imported silicone tube.
So when you understand the different uses and characteristics of silicone tubes, you can know your needs. Here is a small editor to remind everyone: Don't blindly pursue imported products, choosing the right one is the most important!
