Recently, I saw how some friends' websites distinguish between silicone tube and latex tube. Today, the editor posted this article. I hope everyone will know which is silicone tube and which is latex tube when looking for tubes in the future. Let’s take a look at it together. .
As we mentioned earlier, both silicone tube and latex tube are a kind of rubber, a tube made of white sap from a rubber tree through certain processes. The difference between the two lies in various properties and uses.
1. How to distinguish?
Generally , the color of the tube made of silicone tube is white or transparent, and its transparency is very high. Of course, it can also be made into other colors. Others can resist high temperature and high pressure, and have a certain degree of flexibility. The hardness is not It's very large, it doesn't return to its original shape so quickly when pressed down by hand, and it's relatively soft, so it's easy to press down.
And latex tube, its original color is light yellow, which is different from silicone tube, which is easy to see. It is very flexible. When we pull it, it can be stretched very long, and it rebounds quickly. It is not easy to press it down by hand. The latex tube is not resistant to high temperatures. Do not use it in a high temperature environment. Otherwise, it will be scrapped.
2. What are their uses?
Silicone tubes are mainly used in medical, electronic equipment, industry, food drinking, coffee machines, water dispensers, coffee pots and other fields.
Latex tubes are mainly used in medical equipment, electronic equipment, children's toys, yoga and fitness, more involving bungee trampolines and other fields.
