Discussion on the difference between rubber and plastic
Category：Industry news Source：This station Datetime：2023-10-04 11:51:00 Hits：278
Rubber and plastic are very common industrial materials, so what is the difference between them, rubber is not plastic? Today we'll talk about the difference between the two.
1. Different nature
(1) Rubber: refers to a highly elastic polymer material with reversible deformation. Therefore, rubber can be used to make rubber seals, which are widely used in various occasions that need to be sealed.
(2) Plastic: refers to the plastic material formed by processing, or the rigid material formed by curing crosslinking.
2. Different ingredients
(1) Rubber: It is made of latex, and a part of the non-rubber components contained in latex remain in the solid natural rubber. In general, natural rubber contains 92-95% rubber hydrocarbons, while non-rubber hydrocarbons account for 5%-8%. Due to different manufacturing methods, different origins and even different seasons, the proportion of these ingredients may be different, but basically within the range.
(2) Plastic: with high molecular weight synthetic resin as the main component, adding appropriate additives, such as plasticizers, stabilizers, flame retardants, lubricants, colorants, etc.
3. Different uses
(1) Rubber: not only to provide people with indispensable daily life, medical and other light industrial rubber products, but also to mining, transportation, construction, machinery, electronics and other heavy industries and emerging industries to provide a variety of rubber products, rubber seals, rubber shock absorber.
