Comparison of rubber and silicone rubber materials

1. In terms of price: EPDM rubber material is cheaper than silicone rubber material.

2. In terms of processing: Silicone rubber is better than EPDM.

3. In terms of temperature resistance: Silicone rubber has better temperature resistance, EPDM rubber has a temperature resistance of 150℃, and silicon rubber has a temperature resistance of 200℃.

4. Weather resistance: Ethylene-propylene rubber is better weather-resistant, and the rubber itself is environmentally friendly, but it is less likely to breed bacteria in a humid environment.

5. Shrinkage ratio expansion ratio: The shrinkage ratio of silicone rubber cold shrink tubing is now higher than that of EPDM cold shrink tubing.

6. The difference in burning: When burning, the silicone rubber will emit a bright fire, almost no smoke, no smell, and white residue after burning. EPDM, there is no such phenomenon.

7. In terms of tearing and puncture resistance: EPDM is better.

8. Other aspects: Ethylene-propylene rubber has good ozone and high strength; high hardness and poor low temperature brittleness; silica gel has good elasticity and good low temperature performance; ordinary ozone, low strength!
