How to budget the price of silicone raw materials

What determines the price of silicone raw materials? The influencing factors of the price of silicone raw materials are mainly divided into five major factors: the price of raw rubber on the day, the tensile strength of the silicone raw materials, the hardness of the silicone raw materials, the different types of silicone raw materials, and the logistics and transportation costs.

1. The production of silica gel raw materials is mainly made of raw rubber, so the price change of raw rubber market is the main factor affecting the price of silica gel raw materials. And the price of raw rubber is quoted based on weekly market changes. The price of raw rubber has a large range of changes. The lowest price is only 14,000 yuan/ton, and the highest price is 36,000 yuan/ton. The current price of raw rubber is maintained at 30,000 yuan/ton. Tons, so the current price of silica gel raw materials is still running at a high level.

2. The tensile strength of silicone raw materials. When customers purchase silicone raw materials, the quality is mainly determined by the tensile strength. As the saying goes: one price for one price! This sentence is just right when used on the silicone material. The quality system of silica gel raw materials is mainly divided into three types: powder glue, precipitation glue, and gas phase glue. The powder glue is produced by adding a certain proportion of silica powder. The powder glue has a large specific gravity and poor tensile strength, and the price is relatively low. The precipitation glue uses precipitation It is produced from white carbon black, the tensile strength is 6Mpa-8Mpa, the quality and price are moderate, and it is the most widely used. The produced fumed glue has good tensile strength and transparency. The tensile strength is generally 7Mpa-9Mpa, which is expensive and is generally limited to high-standard products.

3. The price of silica gel raw materials with different hardnesses is also different, because the higher the hardness, the lower the rubber content, and the lower the hardness, the higher the rubber content. Therefore, the higher the hardness, the cheaper the price in the precipitation rubber. The higher the hardness of fumed rubber, the more expensive it is because the price of precipitated silica is lower than that of raw rubber, while the price of fumed silica is higher than that of raw rubber.

4. Silicone raw materials are divided into different models according to their functional uses. They are mainly divided into food-grade silica gel, high temperature resistant silica gel, insulating silica gel, flame retardant silica gel, vulcanized silica gel and so on. Due to the different functional uses, the silica gel raw materials are different in production. The added auxiliary materials are also different, so the prices of different types of silica gel raw materials are also different.

Nowadays, the sales market of silicone raw materials is very clear. Many manufacturers use shoddy products in order to increase sales. Customers will be deceived if they simply pursue affordable prices. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. This sentence is just right when used on silicone raw materials. Only good quality, affordable prices, and high-quality services can meet the basic needs of users.

In addition, what is the calculation unit of the price of silica gel raw materials? Generally, the price is calculated by weight. The general measurement units of silica gel raw materials are: catties, kilograms, and tons. In the market, kilograms or tons are commonly used to quote silica gel raw materials.
