Let's simply distinguish the concepts of these three:
1. Silicone tube: also known as silicone tube. Used as a carrier for the circulation and coating of liquids, gases and other materials. It has high/low temperature resistance, no cracking, softness, natural non-toxicity, etc. Common transparent silicone tubes are widely used in medical and medical, industrial water supply, electronic equipment, mechanical hardware, food diversion, liquid transportation and other fields. Compared with latex tubes, silicone tubes are not as elastic as latex tubes.
2. Latex tube: Latex tubes are tubes of different thicknesses made of latex material. They are mainly used in hospitals, equipment factories, power plants, yoga fitness, children's toys, scientific research laboratories and other fields, and also involve entertainment venues such as bungee jumping and trampolines. It has the characteristics of high elasticity, high tensile resistance, good resilience, and not easy to deform. Common plain latex tubes are indeed much more elastic than silicone tubes.
3. Rubber tube: The characteristics of rubber tube include physiological inertness, UV resistance, ozone resistance, high and low temperature resistance (-80 to 300 degrees), high transparency, strong resilience, permanent compression resistance, oil resistance, stamping resistance, acid and alkali resistance, wear resistance, flame retardant, voltage resistance, and electrical conductivity. In fact, silicone tube is also a kind of rubber tube, oil resistant and heat resistant.
Finally, we can do a small test:
1) When the latex tube is burned with fire, there is white smoke and a pungent smell. The product after burning is a white oily substance.
2) When the silicone tube is burned with fire, there is white smoke and a pungent smell. The product after burning is a white powder.
3) When the rubber tube is burned with fire, there is black smoke and a pungent smell. The product after burning is a black powder.
4)Take the silicone tube and the rubber tube and smell each other. The silicone tube has no smell, is safe and non-toxic, while the rubber has a smell, is not as flexible as the silicone tube, and has better mechanical properties.
