Differences between TPE and Silicone gel:

1. TPE is a general term for a variety of elastomer materials with rubber elasticity at room temperature and fusible flow at high temperature.Silicone gel is a kind of special rubber, which has good mechanical strength, abrasion resistance and high temperature resistance after crosslinking. It belongs to thermosetting rubber. After vulcanization, it will not melt after reheating and will burn when the temperature is too high.

3. From the perspective of processing performance: Silicone needs vulcanization for heating forming, while TPE can be processed and formed without vulcanization.Silicone processing is difficult to form, and TPE production and processing is simple.

5. The price of silica gel is generally more than 30,000 pieces per ton, while the general PRICE of TPE is between 13,000 and 30,000 yuan. In terms of price, TPE has more advantages, except for special TPE materials, such as halogen-free, flame retardant, food-grade and other characteristics.
