Many customers sometimes mention a question: which is more expensive, silicone or rubber?So today we will simply analyze the difference between the price of silica gel and rubber.

  Silica gel is a mineral resource, extracted from the mine, first from silicon metal to DMC raw material to methyl vinyl silicone rubber, and finally made into the mixed silicone rubber raw material we use.Because silica gel is a mineral resource, which is a non-renewable resource, so with the later ore digging less and less, silica gel will definitely rise higher and higher in the future.But at present, because the silica gel base raw materials are firmly controlled by several source factories, the price of silica gel raw materials has not stayed for a long time, but in the following years, with more and more upstream source manufacturers increasing, the price of silica gel raw materials will be more stable.

  Rubber, made from the liquid of trees, is a renewable resource and is widely produced in Southeast Asia.Because rubber is a plantable resource, when people grow more, the price of rubber will be lower;In addition in our lives is often used in industrial synthetic rubber, it is through the residue after the oil refining after secondary refining into rubber are generated in the synthetic rubber, synthetic rubber epdm, nitrile rubber, neoprene and so on, also like our silicone raw materials also belong to one of the synthetic rubber.

  Therefore, from today's overall point of view, the price of silica gel raw materials will be more expensive than that of rubber raw materials. The price of silica gel raw materials lacks instability, and the price of rubber raw materials can be adjusted by resources, and the price is relatively stable.
