What is the difference between high temperature resistant silicone hose and high temperature resistant rubber hose

What is the difference between high temperature resistant silicone hose and high temperature resistant rubber hose?

High-temperature silicone hoses are also called High Temperature Silicone Rubber, in Taiwan,and  Southeast Asia, people like to call it high temperature silicone hose.The development of high-temperature rubber tube is many years earlier than high temperature silicone hose, so it have more branches called EPDM, NBR, HNBR, and LLR.They can be made high temperature resistant pipes. However, from the material divided silica gel, it is also a rubber field. In fact, the two are like from name.

It is more like from appearance. If you need to distinguish between the differences, you need to start.

1. Smell: high temperature resistant silicone hoses will not volatilize gas, so you can't smell the smell (there will be a slight but not pungent smell in the process of double disulfide), while high temperature resistant rubber hose will volatilize a pungent smell.

  2. Combustion: When the high temperature resistant silicone tube burns, the smoke is white without irritating odor, and the ash         is gray-white solid. The rubber tube burns into black smoke with a pungent odor, and the ashes are black paste.

  3. Temperature Effect: High temperature silicone hose can reach a high and low temperature environment of -40 ° to 200 °, while        high temperature rubber tubes are used in the range of -30 ° to 150 °.

   4. Application areas: Food grade high temperature silicone hose can work in a special food resistant environment, medical grade         high temperature silicone tube can play a relatively large role in the medical industry, while rubber tubes can not, due to       plasticizer is a toxic additive.

   5. Color difference: silica gel can have a variety of colors, high temperature resistance, the rubber is black or brown.
