Silicone rubber products are divided into silicone products and rubber products, which are widely used in our lives. Although silicone rubber products are commonly used in our lives, many people may not know the difference between them, often mix them, and even some people think that silicone rubber is a kind of material. Below cotelli silicone products factory briefly introduces the silicone products and rubber products.


Silica gel products are made of silica gel as the main raw materials. Silica gel is a porous material with different particle sizes, which is dehydrated by silicic acid gel. It has an open porous structure, can absorb many substances, and is a good desiccant, adsorbent and catalyst carrier.


Silica gel products are liquid rubber products with single component vulcanization at room temperature from chemical point of view, and they are elastomer materials with silicone as raw materials. Silica gel products are one kind of silicone rubber, which belongs to liquid rubber products with single component vulcanization at room temperature. Once exposed to air, the silane monomer in the system will condense, forming a network structure, crosslinking the system, unable to melt and dissolve, elastic, forming rubber products, and bonding objects. The thermal conductivity of the rubber products is slightly higher than that of the general rubber products. Once cured, it is difficult to separate the bonded objects.


Rubber products refer to the activities of producing various rubber products from natural and synthetic rubber, and also include rubber products produced again by using waste rubber. The production of synthetic rubber has greatly exceeded that of natural rubber, among which the largest is SBR.


Rubber products can be divided into synthetic rubber and natural rubber. The structure of natural rubber is isoprene polymer. It is made by processing and production of rubber latex obtained from rubber plants. The synthetic rubber products are made by polymerization or condensation of monomer. The synthetic rubber is deformed under external force and has the ability to recover its original shape rapidly, Because he has good physical properties, the rubber products on the market include automobile tires, rubber tubes, sealing rings, tape, insulating materials and other products. Generally, these products are synthetic rubber products.


Compared with silica gel products, rubber products are better than silica gel products in toughness, wear resistance, dielectric and corrosion resistance. Therefore, rubber products are often used in large machines, industrial equipment and automobile transportation equipment.


Compared with rubber products, silicone products are non-toxic, odorless, soft and environmentally friendly. Therefore, many rubber products in life are gradually replaced by silica gel products, which are involved in people's daily life.


The above is the difference between rubber products and silica gel products. At the same time, we also understand that each material has its own characteristics and can be applied in different fields. No one is absolutely better than the other. To say which material is better, it is better to compare in relative fields. For example, in terms of daily necessities that people often contact, it is better to choose silicone products, But in the industrial field of machinery and equipment, the use of rubber products will be better.
