The Difference Between Silicone Wire and Rubber wire

Silicone wire and rubber wire can easily be mistaken for the same kind of wire. In fact, there is a big difference in performance and material between them.

Silicon Rubber is used as the insulation material for the Silica wire, which belongs to one-component liquid rubber vulcanized at room temperature. Low-temperature resistant cable harnesses, wiring looms and cable assembly are manufactured using special production equipment with the process characteristics of this industry, so as to meet the structure and performance requirements of Wire Harness products, and meet the requirements of long-length continuous and high-speed production as much as possible, thus forming a series of special equipment for cable manufacturing. Such as extruder series, wire drawing machine series, stranding machine series, winding machine series, etc. Once exposed to the air, the silane monomer in it condenses, forming a network structure, the system is crosslinked, unable to melt and dissolve, elastic and rubbery, and at the same time, it binds to objects. Its thermal conductivity is slightly higher than that of ordinary rubber. Once it is cured, it is difficult to separate the bonded objects.

The insulated material of rubber wire is rubber, which belongs to high elastic polymer compound. The manufacturing technology of spiral wire and cable is closely related to the development of special equipment and promotes each other. New technology requirements, promote the generation and development of new special equipment; On the other hand, the development of new special equipment has promoted the popularization and application of new technology. Such as wire drawing, annealing and extrusion of series wires; Special equipment such as physical foaming production line promotes the development and improvement of wire and cable manufacturing technology, and improves the product quality and production efficiency of cables. Include unvulcanized and vulcanized varieties. It can be divided into natural rubber and synthetic rubber. Natural rubber is made by processing latex obtained from rubber plants. Synthetic rubber is made from monomers by polymerization or polycondensation. Unvulcanized rubber is commonly known as raw rubber. Vulcanized rubber is called vulcanized rubber, commonly known as cured rubber or rubber. Widely used in manufacturing tires, rubber hoses, adhesive tapes, insulating materials, rubber shoes, and other rubber products.

Rubber wire is flexible, sun-proof, waterproof, oil-proof, temperature-resistant (90 degrees), cold-resistant (-40 degrees), ultraviolet ray-resistant (UV), anti-aging and anti-burning. Generally, the life span is at least ten or eight years. Suitable for outdoor lighting and household appliances with slightly higher heat. The epidermis is rough and not smooth, such as abrasive skin. The main characteristics of silicon adhesive thread are high temperature resistance, up to about 180 degrees, low temperature resistance of about -65 degrees, smooth skin and very soft thread quality. It is suitable for products with high heat generation, most of which are used inside products (automobile lighting, High-power lighting, medical machinery) by our company, Kable-X.
