Gel products, no matter how they are decorated, cannot hide the strong chemical essence. And when it comes to chemicals, the association with environmental protection and health is inevitable, which cannot be concealed, whether it be plastic or rubber.Silicone ProductsAlthough it varies, when it comes to gelatinous products, many friends still harbor a certain level of defensive skepticism. Therefore, it is necessary for Qiyu's editor to elaborate on practical methods for identifying the authenticity of silicone products.
In the Guangdong silicone rubber products industry, silicone material can be found in a wide range of 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 curing agents, and colorants. The substances added do not contain any harmful compounds. However, there are still some adulterants present in silicone materials. For example, manufacturers may use inexpensive raw materials to save costs, while suppliers may add catalysts to improve efficiency. Therefore, there are three methods to genuinely 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 difference from a color perspective; plus, the appearance, after processing, is flawless. However, the key is to check if the material whitens or shows through light when stretched; if it does, the material might be of average quality.
2. Texture:
Texture matters greatly; silicone products must excel in stretch, rebound, deformation, and tensile strength. If they meet these performance criteria, they are generally considered high-quality materials. These are commonly used for premium products and branded items.
3. Open Flame Burning:
This method is simple, clear, and effective. Generally, after burning, the material of silicone products differs from other adhesives, emitting white smoke. The surface of the product will show a white fog-like appearance upon burning, and after complete combustion, it will turn into a white powdery substance, completely odorless and colorless. Different materials, however, will leave yellow or black residues.
