The reason why electronic cigarette shells use high-temperature resistant materials is mainly based on the use characteristics of electronic cigarettes, safety requirements, and performance advantages of materials. The following is a detailed explanation of this:
1. Working characteristics of electronic cigarettes
Electronic cigarettes contain key components such as batteries, heating elements, and electronic control modules. These components generate a certain amount of heat during charging and discharging and heating atomized smoke oil. Especially in heat-not-burn electronic cigarettes, the temperature of the heating plate may be as high as 300°C or more during operation. Therefore, the electronic cigarette shell needs to be able to withstand this high-temperature environment to ensure the stability and safety of electronic cigarettes.
2. Safety requirements
The use of high-temperature resistant materials can effectively prevent the electronic cigarette shell from deforming, melting, or producing harmful substances due to high temperature, thereby protecting the internal components from damage and preventing potential safety risks to users. For example, PEEK material is an ideal choice for heat-not-burn electronic cigarette shells due to its excellent high-temperature resistance (melting point up to 343°C, long-term use temperature up to 260°C) and excellent mechanical properties.
3. Performance advantages of high temperature resistant materials
Stability: High temperature resistant materials can still maintain stable structure and performance under high temperature environment, ensuring that the electronic cigarette will not experience performance degradation or failure during long-term use.
Safety: High temperature resistant materials can prevent the electronic cigarette shell from producing harmful substances at high temperatures, thereby protecting the health and safety of users.
Durability: High temperature resistant materials usually have excellent mechanical properties and wear resistance, which can extend the service life of electronic cigarettes.
In summary, the use of high temperature resistant materials in the electronic cigarette shell is to adapt to the working characteristics of electronic cigarettes, meet safety requirements and give full play to the performance advantages of high temperature resistant materials. The selection of these materials is not only related to the stability and safety of electronic cigarettes, but also affects the user experience and the market competitiveness of products. Therefore, it is crucial to choose suitable high temperature resistant materials when designing and manufacturing electronic cigarettes.
