Silicone and latex are difficult to distinguish, so it is troublesome to distinguish whether a product is silicone or latex.


1. Look, the surface of natural latex will have a crusting phenomenon, which looks like milk skin material. Pressing will produce natural wrinkles. When synthetic latex undergoes a high-temperature distillation process, the added powder will turn black. It is black, so synthetic latex usually adds a lot of fluorescent agents and whitening agents to cover up this phenomenon, so synthetic latex will look very white and the surface will be shiny.


2. Smell, milk collagen is actually another name for natural rubber juice, so the essence of latex is still rubber juice. Although rubber juice looks milky white like milk, their essence is different, so there will be no so-called frankincense. Pure natural latex products should have a slight rubber smell, not the so-called milk smell.


3 Touch, natural rubber feels soft and moist, a bit like clothes that can't be dried by touch, a little moist, and feels good to the touch, like the touch of baby skin. The product can be folded in half and then let go. Natural Latex will be more elastic and will bounce, and silicone product manufacturers do not have this ability.


4. Tear. Natural latex produced by silicone product manufacturers has medium strength characteristics, so it cannot be torn apart with force. It will tear natural latex products. Synthetic latex is very strong because of the addition of adhesives, and it is very tear-resistant.


Silicone product manufacturers have seen various applications since we have used them. Maybe you have a silicone accessory around you now. The price of silicone accessories is also very reasonable in the market. You can't afford a car or a house. Silicone product manufacturers have customized prices. The price is customized according to the production quantity. The larger the production quantity, the simpler the process, and the cheaper the price. If the quantity is not large, the production process is too long, and the time is too long, then the price of liquid silicone will be higher, so some friends have to consider the price of silicone product manufacturers.
