Common production of custom silicone products is divided into ordinary grade, food grade, and medical grade, in addition to a kind of platinum silicone, it and the first three are compared, what are the differences? What are the advantages of products made with it?
Platinum silicone products due to its product characteristics and relative to the advantages of ordinary silicone products, the application field is the industry with high requirements for environmental protection, platinum silicone products can be used in the industry mainly: food grade silicone products, medical silicone accessories, kitchenware, adult products, maternal and child products, a large part of which is used for export.
Due to the physical and chemical stability of platinum silicone and its environmental protection characteristics, in our life, will gradually replace plastic and rubber, becoming a new era of environmental protection materials. Platinum silicone products are well-performed, so how do we distinguish between platinum products and ordinary silicone products?
·Distinguish from the forming process
Ordinary silicone and platinum silicone use different catalyst modulation, in fact, in addition to ordinary silicone, platinum silicone, and medical grade and food grade silicone. This is also the classification, of course, the other is medical grade silicone and food grade silicone. But ordinary silicone products have a fatal disadvantage in that with the growth of time, if the product is not maintained, then ordinary silicone will occur yellow or dark lines.
Platinum silicone and food-grade silicone products compared, the use of imported silicone raw materials, and two-component curing machining, its performance in all aspects are better than ordinary silicone, such as long-term use, and no yellow or dark lines.
·Distinguish from the scope of the application
Ordinary silicone rubber is most commonly used in environmental protection industrial supplies, accessories and auto accessories, and electrical accessories. And platinum silicone, medical grade, and food grade silicone rubber are widely used in medical and health products, and daily necessities (such as silicone kitchenware) these safety and environmental protection level requirements of the industry.
·Distinguish between the surface and performance
Ordinary silica gel is not up to those performance effects on the market, such as temperature range -40~240° long-term use will not yellow, degradation. General ordinary silica gel in silica gel products manufacturers taking into account the time and processing cost of the vulcanization process will not do very well, so ordinary silica gel is just produced when there is a smell. The surface is not transparent at the same time there will be a sticky dust phenomenon, in a words, ordinary silicone rubber is far from platinum and food-grade silicone to do product performance.
Depending upon the application, environmental and budgetary requirements different kind of thermoset and thermoform materials are used for making these tube and hose.The PVC pipe and tubing offer a wide range of advantages, however, when the application demands high or low-temperature resistance, flexibility or resiliency rubber tubing, and hose are none to match.
Since it made out from different kind of polymers it offers excellent stretchability and superior strength.
Rubber material either cultivated from natural rubber or synthetically made in industrial plants throughout the globe.
Depending upon physical, mechanical, chemical and environmental requirements there are wide varieties of synthetic rubber materials like EPDM, Buna N, Neoprene, Silicone, Fluoro Silicone, etc..are commonly used for making rubber tubing and hose.
For certain demanding applications, Silicone Rubber has a little edge over other elastomers which makes it popular elastomer for making standard as well as custom Silicone Tubing and Hose.Silicone Tubing & HoseSilicone rubber tubing and hose are made out from silicone rubber which is synthetic rubber commercially made by joining polysiloxane chains together.
Chemical inertness, odorless and tasteless makes it ideal elastomer for making silicone tubing which can be used in the food and beverage industry, dairy and milk industry, pharmaceutical, scientific and biomedical industries.What you need to know before making rubber stripWhere it will be used?
Antibacterial Silicone also known as antimicrobial silicone, which is a type silicone added with antibacterial agent orantimicrobial additives to enhance its resistance to bacteria, germs.
The antimicrobial property of silicone rubber can be enhanced by adding antimicrobial agents in the formulation of its compound.
like silver and zinc agents.
The resulting compound will have a greaterability to inhibit the growth of bacteria, molds, yeast, and fungi.Is Food Grade Silicone Antibacterial?Silver-based silicone rubber is an excellent choice for anbacterial rubber parts used in food-grade applications.
Food grade rubber materials with antimicrobial properties inhibit the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms.
the free silver ions break down their cell walls, inhibiting the growth of any micro-organisms.
