Chemical products can be adorned in any way, yet they can't mask the strong aroma of their compounds. Mention chemicals, and the immediate association is with environmental and health concerns, which plastics and rubbers are unable to hide.Silicone ProductsHowever, when it comes to rubber products, many friends still harbor a certain degree of defensive psychology. Therefore, it is necessary for Qiyu's editor to explain practical methods for distinguishing the authenticity of silicone products.
In the Guangdong silicone rubber products industry, silicone can be found in a variety of household items, equipment, 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 curing agents, and colorant. The added substances do not contain harmful compounds. However, there are still some adulterants present in silicone materials. For instance, manufacturers may use inexpensive raw materials to save costs, while raw material suppliers may add catalysts to enhance efficiency. Therefore, there are three methods to truly distinguish between genuine and counterfeit products, as well as to assess quality:
Color:
Silicone ProductsThe color can be mixed according to international color codes, so there's no visible distinction just by looking at the color; plus, after processing, the appearance is flawless. However, the key is to check if there's any whitening or light leakage upon stretching, as that might indicate the material is of lower quality.
2. Texture:
Feel is crucial; silicone products must excel in stretch, rebound, deformation, and tensile strength. Meeting these performance criteria typically qualifies as good material. Such materials are generally used for high-end products and branded goods.
3. Open Flame Burning:
This method is simple, clear, and effective. Generally, high-quality silicone products, when burned, differ from other adhesives. Good materials will emit white smoke, and the product surface will show a white fog-like appearance after burning. Upon complete combustion, they leave behind a white powdery residue, completely odorless and colorless. Different materials, however, will produce yellow or black residues.
