The difference between silicone tube and PVC tube
Silica gel tube, material and chemical properties of silica gel is stable, in addition to alkali, hydrofluoric acid does not occur with any chemical reactions, chemical resistance, good electrical insulation performance, not easy to aging weather resistant, soft material up to 330 degrees to -40 degrees, non-toxic material, colorless and tasteless, mainly by all family activities. Life tube will choose to use silica gel material, the main use occasions in household appliances, medical industry, industry, automobile industry and so on.
PVC pipe is made of polyvinyl chloride resin and stabilizer and lubricant with injection molding machine with hot extrusion molding, main performance, electrical insulation; chemical stability; self extinguished; low water absorption; easy adhesion, high resistant to high temperature of about 40 degrees. Main appliances, industrial gases, liquid transportation, household sewer pipes, water pipes and so on. Environmental issues: plasticizer, antioxidant and other added accessories are toxic, daily in PVC plasticizer, mainly using terephthalic acid two butyl phthalate two formic acid two ester etc., these chemicals are toxic.
Silicone hose is also a kind of rubber tube, resistant to oil and heat. Because of the different types of rubber rubber pipe has many applications, commonly used rubber tube material EPDM, CR, VMQ, FKM, IIR, ACM, AEM, common structure with single, double, multilayer, enhanced, non enhanced etc..Silicone hose is the biggest feature of resistance to temperature changes of -60 degrees to 250 degrees, but the cost is very expensive, PVC is often used as ordinary water pipes, temperature sensitive, cheap and delicious, suitable for general working environment, no requirement for hoses. Compression resistant silicone hose can also withstand pressure, PVC in general, depends on the wall thickness and caliber. These are the differences between the silicone tube and the PVC tube.
