Silicone tube and PVC tube are both commonly used hoses in daily life, so what are the differences between these two types of hoses? Here is a professional silicone tube manufacturer to introduce to you.
Firstly, silicone is a rubber material and PVC is a plastic material. The main material of PVC pipe is polyvinyl chloride, and the main material of silicone pipe is silicon dioxide.
1.PVC pipe is made of polyvinyl chloride resin with stabilizer, lubricant, etc. and extruded with a hot-press injection molding machine. Its main properties and electrical insulation properties are good; chemical stability is good; self-extinguishing; low water absorption; easy to stick Then, it can withstand high temperature of about 40 °. The main equipment is industrial gas, liquid transportation, etc., domestic sewer pipes, water pipes and so on. Environmental protection issues: The main auxiliary materials such as plasticizers and antioxidants are toxic. The plasticizers in daily polyvinyl chloride plastics mainly use dibutyl terephthalate and dioctyl phthalate. These chemicals Products are toxic.
2. Silica gel pipe and silica gel material have stable chemical properties. Except strong alkali and hydrofluoric acid, no chemical reaction occurs with any chemical substance. Good chemical performance, good electrical insulation performance, not easy to age and weather resistance, soft and environmentally friendly non-toxic material Colorless and tasteless. Silicone materials will be used for daily life. The main use cases are in household appliances, medical industry, industrial industry, automobile industry and so on.
The above is the main difference between PVC pipe and silicone pipe introduced to everyone. I hope it can be helpful to everyone.
