Gel products, no matter how they are decorated, cannot hide the strong chemical essence. And when it comes to chemicals, one immediately thinks of environmental and health concerns, which are not concealed by either plastics or rubber.Silicone ProductsAlthough there are differences, when it comes to gelatinous products, many friends still harbor a certain defensive mindset. Therefore, it is necessary for Qiyu's editor to elaborate on practical methods for distinguishing the authenticity of silicone products.
Currently, in the Guangdong silicone rubber products industry, silicone can be found in various household items, equipment products, and electronic accessories. What sets silicone apart from other types of adhesives is its chemical composition, primarily consisting of white carbon black, silicone resin, silicone oil, blending vulcanizing agents, and colorant. The substances added do not contain any harmful compounds. However, there are still some adulterants present in silicone materials. For instance, manufacturers of silicone products may use inexpensive raw materials to save costs, while raw material suppliers may add catalysts to improve efficiency. Therefore, there are three methods to truly distinguish between genuine and fake products, as well as to assess quality:
Color:
Silicone ProductsThe color is customizable according to international color codes, so there's no visible difference just by looking at the color; plus, the appearance is flawlessly processed. However, the key is to check if the fabric whitens or shows through light when stretched, as this might indicate it's a standard material.
2. Texture:
Feel matters greatly; silicone products must exhibit excellent properties in terms of stretch, rebound, deformation, and tensile strength. If a material can meet these criteria, it can be considered suitable. These are generally used for high-end products and branded items.
3. Open Flame Burning:
This method is straightforward, clear, and effective. Generally, silicone products, when burned, produce white smoke that differs from other adhesives. The surface of the product will exhibit a white, misty appearance upon combustion, and upon complete combustion, it will turn into a white, powdery substance, completely odorless and colorless. Different materials, however, will leave behind yellow or black residues.
