Silicone sealing strips play an important role in water tightness, air tightness, and energy conservation in doors and windows. From the initial development of natural rubber sealing strips to modern silicone sealing strips, the role of sealing strips in door and window accessories has also become increasingly apparent. As an emerging sealing product, silicone sealant strips have the following performance advantages compared to other types of adhesives:

1. Excellent cold and heat resistance
Silicone sealing strips can be used for a long time in environments ranging from -70 ℃ to 200 ℃. The excellent high and low temperature performance of silicone sealing strips is particularly important in China with a large latitude range. In southern China, it is normal to have a temperature of 70 ℃ on sunny doors, windows, and walls in summer, while it is not surprising that the climate in northern China is -40 ℃ in winter. The huge temperature difference severely restricts the use of PVC, thermoplastic elastomers, and ethylene propylene diene rubber. Generally, plastic, rubber, or elastomers have become brittle at -20 ℃ and cannot be constructed even under 0 ℃ conditions. However, silicone sealing strips do not show significant changes in physical properties between -70 ℃ and 200 ℃.

2. Excellent weather aging resistance
Whether it is plastic or EPDM organic rubber, its materials are basically composed of carbon oxygen chains and carbon carbon chains. These materials are also prone to material degradation in thermal aging environments. The performance is that the sealing strip is not resistant to UV aging and thermal aging. And high-quality silicone sealing strips have excellent weather aging resistance. Under the action of sunlight, rain, water, and ozone, placed outdoors for 30 years, the performance has not significantly decreased, and can synchronize with the service life of doors and windows, which cannot be achieved by other materials.

3. Good elasticity and resilience
Building doors and windows always withstand mechanical changes from the outside and themselves, such as thermal expansion and contraction, instantaneous loads, wind loads, seismic effects, long-term loads, self weight, temperature difference deformation, snow loads, etc. The silicone sealing strip has excellent elasticity and good compression deformation, which is unparalleled by other rubber and plastic materials. The silicone sealing strip can be adjusted arbitrarily between Shore 30A and 85A to achieve optimal sealing performance.

4. Safety and environmental protection
Silicone sealing strips have been confirmed in human experiments to be non-toxic, odorless, non adhesive to human tissues and blood, with good biological adaptability. When hot blooded animal tissues that are extremely sensitive to the outside world come into contact with silicone rubber crystals, no abnormalities are found in their cellular tissues. The publication of this result also shows that silicone sealing strips are the safest as elastic materials in the environmental and medical fields.

Silicone sealing strips, as one of the important components of building doors and windows, perfectly close the gap between the profile and glass, and between the frame and the fan through the elasticity of the lip cavity flange and the contact pressure generated by the contact surface in the body structure, effectively preventing the leakage or invasion of internal and external media (rainwater, air, sand, etc.), and preventing mechanical vibration, impact, and damage, thereby playing a role in sealing, sound insulation, thermal insulation, and other functions. It plays an important role in ensuring excellent waterproof, thermal insulation, sound insulation, sealing and other performance of energy-saving building doors and windows, so silicone sealing strips are the key to energy-saving doors and windows. The widespread use of silicone sealing strips will also provide a more perfect sealing effect for energy-saving doors and windows, improving people's lives.
