1. The materials are different. Silicone wire are mainly insulated with silicone rubber, while the outer sheath material of ordinary wires is mostly made of plastics such as PVC and PE.
2. Different high temperature resistance performance. Silicone cable has high temperature resistance and can withstand working environments with high temperatures, generally reaching over 200 ° C, while ordinary wire can only withstand temperatures around 100 ° C. Due to the excellent properties of silicone, silicone wires can work in high temperature environments without being damaged. This has made wire silicone widely used in some special work environments, such as connecting wires for high-temperature equipment such as electric furnaces and ovens.
3. Flexibility and corrosion resistance are different. Silicone cable also has better flexibility and corrosion resistance. In contrast, the outer sheath material of ordinary wires is mostly plastic such as PVC, which does not have the flexibility and corrosion resistance to some chemicals of silicone insulated wire Therefore, silicone wire are suitable for flexible wiring applications, such as connecting wires inside mechanical equipment or places that require frequent bending.
4. The insulation performance and resistance performance are different. Due to the insulation properties of silicone, silicone cable can effectively prevent current leakage between wires, improving the safety and reliability of wires. Silicone wire has excellent insulation and resistance properties. Meanwhile, the resistivity of silicone wire is also relatively low, which can reduce the impedance of the wire itself to the circuit, while the insulation performance of ordinary wire is generally poor.
5. The cold resistance varies. wire silicone has good cold resistance and can work in low temperature environments, while ordinary wire is prone to hardening in cold environments, causing problems such as breakage and aging.
6. Chemical resistance varies. Silicone wire has high chemical resistance and can be used in corrosive environments such as acid and alkali, which ordinary wire does not possess.
7. The prices are different. silicone wire is more expensive compared to regular wire. Due to the high procurement cost of silicone as a high-performance material, the price of silicone wire is generally higher than that of ordinary wire. Therefore, when choosing materials to use, a balance needs to be made based on specific needs and budget.
8. The application scenarios are different. Silicone wire are mainly used for electrical equipment in high-temperature environments, such as engines, air conditioners, ovens, etc; Ordinary wires are widely used in various fields such as daily life, industry, and construction.
From the above content, it can be seen that silicone wire has higher high temperature resistance, flexibility, corrosion resistance, insulation performance, and resistance performance compared to ordinary wire, making it suitable for special working environments and flexible wiring occasions. And ordinary wire is a common type of electrical wire, suitable for general circuit connections. Choosing appropriate wires according to actual needs can improve the effectiveness and safety of electrical equipment.
