If polymer materials have drawbacks, the biggest drawback is that they are not fireproof and are prone to combustion. However, in the flame retardant elastomer industry, the current technology mainly uses halogen-free flame retardant elastomers, mainly silicone rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, etc. These rubbers have flame retardant and self extinguishing properties when burned in fire, playing a certain role in fires. However, after continuous high temperature combustion, the burned residue lacks mechanical strength and turns into ashes, which cannot maintain the integrity of the product and can cause more dangerous secondary disasters, such as short circuits after the cable sheath and insulation are burned. So, is there an elastic body that can withstand the combustion of a fire and maintain a certain strength and be completely fire-resistant?

Technology creates infinite possibilities! There is a peculiar high-temperature resistant elastomer - ceramic silicone rubber, which has excellent high-temperature resistance. You may not even believe it, but its high-temperature resistance can reach 1200-1500 ℃!

All these properties of ceramic silicone rubber are inseparable from its special formula structure and combustion performance. Most ordinary polymer materials undergo flame erosion and turn into carbon dioxide and water, so they certainly do not have the effect of fire prevention. However, ceramic silicone rubber can be sintered into hard ceramic like objects at high temperatures and flame erosion above 500 ℃. The longer the erosion time and temperature, the more obvious the ceramic effect. The erosion temperature of some types of ceramic refractory silicone rubber can reach 1200-1500 ℃.

Ceramic refractory silicone rubber can be processed using conventional rubber processing equipment, and the products produced have the various properties of silicone rubber.
