Hot melt wool pile VS traditional rubber sealing strip, which one is better?

In the comparison between hot melt wool pile sealing strip and traditional rubber sealing strip, each has its own unique advantages and applicable scenarios, and it is difficult to simply judge which one is better. The following is a detailed comparison of the two in many aspects:

Material properties
Hot melt wool pile sealing strip:
Material composition: It is made of high-quality wool fibers bonded by hot melt adhesive technology. Wool fibers are natural and environmentally friendly, with good thermal insulation and moisture absorption and moisture removal.
Features: Soft and elastic, able to fit tightly to surfaces of various shapes to form an effective sealing layer. At the same time, the natural properties of wool give it excellent air permeability and the ability to regulate indoor temperature and humidity.

Traditional rubber sealing strip:
Material composition: Usually made of natural rubber or synthetic rubber, with good elasticity and wear resistance.
Features: High temperature resistance, strong corrosion resistance, easy to process into various shapes. But the weather resistance and oil resistance are relatively poor, and it may harden at low temperatures, affecting the sealing effect.
Sealing performance

Hot melt wool pile sealing strip:
Due to the softness and elasticity of wool fibers and the bonding strength of hot melt adhesive, a continuous and tight sealing layer can be formed to effectively isolate the penetration of air, moisture and noise.
It is particularly suitable for occasions requiring high sealing performance, such as door and window gaps, wall joints, etc.
Traditional rubber sealing strip:
Under normal conditions, it can provide a good sealing effect. However, its performance may be affected under extreme temperature conditions, such as high or low temperatures.

Environmental protection
Hot melt wool pile sealing strip:
As a natural material, wool has excellent environmental protection performance, is degradable and pollution-free. The use of hot melt adhesive also reduces the emission of harmful solvents.
Traditional rubber sealing strip:
Some rubber sealing strips may contain chemicals that are harmful to the environment, which may have a certain impact on the environment during production and disposal.

Durability
Hot melt wool pile sealing strip:
The durability of wool fibers combined with the bonding strength of hot melt adhesive makes this sealing strip highly durable. However, the specific durability still needs to be evaluated according to the use environment and conditions.
Traditional rubber seal strip:
Rubber materials are usually more durable, but their performance may deteriorate due to aging, wear and tear during long-term use.

Installation and maintenance
Hot melt wool pile seal strip:
Installation is relatively simple. Just cut it to the appropriate length and stick it to the part that needs to be sealed. But be careful to ensure that the sticking surface is clean and oil-free to ensure the bonding effect.
In terms of maintenance, wool fibers have good self-cleaning ability, but they still need to be checked and replaced regularly after long-term use.

Traditional rubber seal strip:
The installation process may be relatively complicated and needs to be cut and installed according to the specific shape. But once installed, it usually has good stability and durability.
In terms of maintenance, the status of the rubber seal strip needs to be checked regularly. If it is aging, worn or falling off, it should be replaced in time.

Hot melt wool pile seal strips and traditional rubber seal strips have their own advantages and disadvantages. When choosing, you should consider the specific use environment, sealing requirements, environmental protection requirements and budget. For home environments that pursue high sealing performance, environmental protection performance and comfort, hot melt wool pile seal strips may be a more ideal choice. However, in industrial environments that need to withstand extreme temperatures or chemical corrosion, traditional rubber seals may have more advantages.
