As the weather heats up, everyone from kitchen staff to office workers and professionals across various industries are looking for a portable fan. The neck fan was developed on this basis. At the end of the neck fan, there is a flexible hose that supports a 360° twist and can be adjusted to direct the wind in any direction. The outside of this hose is wrapped in...Silicone TubeThe metal soft tube used for covering the main hardware serves to beautify, soften, and provide comfort. However, the silicone tube for the neck fan, if not specially treated, tends to attract dust and hair, and since the neck fan is particularly close to the hair, this flaw is magnified. Therefore, it is necessary for the silicone tube of the neck fan to be soft, safe, and comfortable, as well as to prevent it from吸附 hair and impurities. The current solution involves spraying and special matte finishing.
Solution: Spraying solves the problem of surface adhesion and stickiness on the silicone tube of the neck fan, but it does increase costs as it involves ink treatment on the silicone tube surface. The principle is to wrap the tube to isolate the sticky adhesion and the hand feel oil, essentially adding a barrier between the two, preventing the silicone from adsorbing and releasing within itself.
This solution effectively addresses both hair and dust adhesion, enhancing the affinity between the silicone tube and human skin for greater comfort. Additionally, with its vibrant colors (available in custom and multicolored options), some customers opt for bi-color silicone tubes for their neck fans to enhance their aesthetic appeal. Once coated, the tubes can completely eliminate issues with hair and dust adhesion.
Another less practical solution, albeit used by some, is to reduce the silicone's adhesion ability and dust-attracting characteristics through process modifications. First, the...Neck Fan Silicone TubeThe hardness is adjusted to around 40~50°, avoiding a high hardness level. The reason for this is that the raw material for this method has a lower hardness, and since it does not require spraying after extrusion molding, the surface will appear uneven with a granular texture, resembling defective products but not actually being so. This granular texture is intentionally created. The benefit of this is that the uneven indentations, each with subtle heights and lows, can reduce the silicone's adhesion ability (note, it is reduced, not completely eliminated).
This approach significantly reduces the ability of the neck fan's silicone tube to attract hair, allowing for a reduction in dust adhesion without the need for oil. From another perspective, it also lowers the cost of the neck fan silicone tube. This is why many companies in the market opt for this method to control the cost of neck fans. Although it diminishes the adhesion, it also sacrifices some of the tactile feel of the silicone tube.
