Many customers sometimes raise the question, which is more expensive, silica gel or rubber? The price difference between silica gel and rubber.

Silica gel is a mineral resource, which is extracted from mines. First, it is made from metal silicon, then DMC raw materials, and finally methyl vinyl silicone rubber. As silica gel is a mineral resource, it is a non renewable resource, so as the ore is less and less excavated in the later period, silica gel will definitely rise higher and higher in the future. However, since the basic silica gel raw materials are firmly controlled by several source factories, the price of silica gel raw materials will remain unchanged for a long time. However, in the following years, with more and more upstream source manufacturers increasing, the price of silica gel raw materials will become more stable.

Rubber is extracted from the liquid of trees, which is a renewable resource and is produced more in Southeast Asia. Because rubber is a cultivable resource, the more people plant, the lower the price of rubber will be; In addition, synthetic rubber is often used in our daily life and industry. It is produced by adding the residue after petroleum refining to the rubber after secondary refining. Synthetic rubber mainly includes ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber, nitrile rubber, neoprene rubber, etc. In addition, our silica gel raw materials also belong to a kind of synthetic rubber.

Therefore, on the whole, the price of silica gel raw materials will be more expensive than that of rubber raw materials. Silica gel raw materials are lack of instability. The price of rubber raw materials can be adjusted through resource allocation, and the price is relatively stable.
