With the advent of summer, the ice box has become a must-have refrigerator for every family. However, the variety of materials on the market makes it difficult for consumers to choose. Silicone and PP as two common ice grid materials, which one is more suitable for us? Today, we will explore this topic in depth.
1. Comparison of material characteristics
1. Silicone ice bars
Silicone ice lattice has excellent heat resistance, cold resistance and aging resistance, can be used in the environment of -40℃ to 200℃ for a long time, and will not deform and release harmful substances. In addition, the silicone material also has good softness and tensile strength, which can easily adapt to various shapes of ice grids.
2.PP ice bar
PP ice grid material has excellent heat resistance, corrosion resistance and impact resistance, and can be used in the environment of -20℃ to 120℃ for a long time. At the same time, PP material also has good transparency and wear resistance, making the ice grid look more beautiful.
Two, refrigeration effect comparison
1. Silicone ice bars
Due to its excellent thermal insulation performance, the silicone ice box can be quickly cooled in a short period of time to provide sufficient time for food preservation. In addition, the silicone ice lattice also has a small surface area, which can effectively reduce the speed of ice melting and extend the cooling time.
2.PP ice bar
The refrigeration effect of PP ice grid is also very good, its thermal conductivity is good, and it can melt the ice cube in a short time to provide cooling effect for food. However, compared with silicone ice cells, PP ice cells have a larger surface area, which may cause the ice to melt faster.
Third, security comparison
1. Silicone ice bars
The safety of silicone material has been internationally certified and is widely used in the fields of baby products and medical devices. In addition, silicone ice lattice will not add any harmful substances in the production process, and it is more assured to use.
2.PP ice bar
PP material also has high safety, is widely used in food packaging and containers and other fields. However, some of the inferior PP ice grid may add harmful substances in the production process, such as plasticizers, which cause potential harm to the human body.
Summary: By comparing the material characteristics, refrigeration effect and safety of silica gel and PP ice lattice, we can find that silica gel ice lattice is more effective in all aspects. Of course, when choosing ice grids, consumers also need to combine their actual needs and budgets to make the most appropriate choice. Whether it is silicone ice grid or PP ice grid, it has brought great convenience to our lives and added a touch of cool to our summer.
