At the weekend, my colleagues had an appointment to go fishing, and when we set off, someone asked, "Are the baits ready?" Another colleague from the sales department said, "do you still need bait? Didn't you put it with your fishing gear? We are all using our TPE to simulate bait now! " Long ago in the fishing gear industry, artificial bait has been used as bait for fishing, which has long been very common. Simulation bait usually uses soft polymer material as the raw material, the material selection is appropriate and the production process of process processing is fine, which can produce the simulation bait with false and false truth, and can completely let the fish take the bait. So what are the requirements for the materials used for the fine-made bait? In fact, the simulated bait is mainly made of soft glue, generally requires a hardness of 0-10A, and also requires certain toughness and pulling force, and is not easy to be broken. Can be repeatedly used for a long time so as to achieve fishing and really reduce the cost of buying bait. At present, soft adhesives commonly used in the market are: PU, soft PVC, TPE and TPR raw materials. The polymer artificial bait material uses the texture of soft glue material, has certain color and texture design, and modulates the taste similar to real bait, and the bait made can fool fish to take the bait. There are also high molecular silica gel materials on the market. Silica gel can provide materials with ultra-soft hardness (5~10A) and add some odorant. Silica gel is actually a material that needs crosslinking. Cross-linked silica gel is difficult to recycle and use repeatedly, which virtually increases the cost of materials. In recent years, we pay more and more attention to environmental protection and resource maximization. TPE, our environmental protection material, has developed very fast in recent years. Moreover, our TPE and TPR can provide ultra-soft series of soft rubber materials with hardness of 0~10A or even softer, which are very close to the properties of soft silica gel. Therefore, simulation bait processing plants gradually began to try to use ultra-soft TPE and TPR instead of silica gel to process various kinds of bait, and the downstream market was quite recognized. Super soft TPE,TPR has soft soft touch of mollusks like earthworm, frog, fish and shrimp, and achieves almost exactly the same effect as real bait by adjusting the color and smell of bait. In addition, in order to maintain the balance of biological chain, trying to fish with simulated bait is not new in the fishing gear industry, and the fake bait industry is already mature. Advantages of Low Hardness TPE/TPR Replacing Silica Gel to Produce Bait: 1. The comprehensive cost of TPE/TPR is lower 2. TPE/TPR is a thermoplastic material, various leftover materials, and waste and defective products can be recycled repeatedly. 3. TPE/TPR has lower cost than silica gel TPE/TPR is easier to produce and process than silica gel. What are the characteristics of the simulated bait made of TPE? Let's take a look at: 1. TPE(TPR), transparent, soft and odorless, can provide ultra-soft series of soft rubber with hardness of 0~10A or even softer; 2. Sprayable ink; 3. Environmentally friendly and nontoxic, thermoplastic materials can be 100% recycled; 4. Injection molding or glue filling process; 5. Good toughness, not easy to break, can be repeatedly used for a long time, and can greatly reduce the cost for anglers to buy bait; 6. At -50℃, it still maintains good elasticity and stretchability, and has good low temperature resistance. It is precisely because of the above advantages and characteristics that the main fake bait in the market, such as simulated shrimp, simulated earthworm, simulated small fish, etc., has been mostly made of environmentally friendly soft rubber TPE material. The thermoplastic elastomer material can be continuously produced in large quantities by injection molding equipment, and the leftover material and the nozzle produced by injection molding can also be 100% recycled, which is easier to process than silica gel, saves cost and is more environmentally friendly than PVC.
