Silicone hose is an important material for modern industry. Because of great properties, it is widely used in almost anywhere. And recent years, the demand to silicone pipe increases rapidly. However, some suppliers, especially the newly developed suppliers are not reliable. Because they use low quality silicone raw material. While even some of them use other materials to simulate the silicone. For example, PVC. Then how to distinguish whether a hose is made from silicone or not? We can distinguish it through the following methods.
Color
The color of silicone rubber products can be adjusted according to the international color number. So there is no difference directly from the color. In addition, there is no flaw after the appearance is processed. However, the main thing is whether the stretching and rebound will appear white or translucent. If there is, the material may belong to the general material.
Feel
Silicone products are very important in terms of stretching, rebound, deformation and toughness. If the above performance can be met, it is basically an excellent material. These are generally used for high-end products and brand products.
Open flame burning
This method is the simplest, clearest and most effective method. Generally, high-quality silicone products will be different from other rubber materials after burning. The surface of the product will appear white mist after burning. After complete burning, it will be white powder. And it is completely colorless and odorless. Different materials will have yellow or black residues.
