After vulcanization, silicone rubber has excellent high and low temperature resistance, weather resistance, hydrophobicity, electrical insulation, physiological inertia and other characteristics, and has been widely used in national defense and military industry, medical and health care and people's daily life. Silicon rubber can be divided into high-temperature vulcanization type and room temperature vulcanization type according to its curing temperature. The high-temperature vulcanization type silicon rubber is mainly used to manufacture various silicone rubber products, while the room temperature vulcanization type silicon rubber is mainly used as adhesive, potting material or mold.
1. Aerospace and aviation industry
Silicone rubber can withstand extreme temperature, remain stable under extreme stress conditions and harsh environments, and will not affect its use. Therefore, it can be used to manufacture doors, windows and panel sealant inside and outside aircraft or spacecraft, body cavity seals, gasket gaskets, seal switches, engine and hydraulic device seals, cable insulation and other components. Ablation resistant silicone rubber can be used for rocket fuel valve, launching well cover coating and power source cable, etc. Room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber can also be used as a potting material for body gas sealing, window frame sealing and moisture-proof and shockproof. Fluorosilicone rubber has excellent oil resistance and is an ideal material for fuel control diaphragm, hydraulic pipeline and cable clamp. Both ground and space station computers use keyboards made of silicone rubber. Silicone rubber has become one of the important high-performance materials in aerospace and aviation industry.
2. Automobile industry
Silicone rubber has excellent insulation, heat resistance, oil resistance, aging resistance and other characteristics, which can improve the performance of various parts of the automobile, and can be used in almost all aspects of the automobile industry.
Silicone rubber is used for automobile sealing gaskets and other sealants. It can provide strong and lasting sealing protection for all devices from head lamp to oil filter, and is leak proof and durable. It will not crack or crack under extreme temperature and pressure; For connectors, it can protect the electrical connection of automotive connectors, including electrical plugs and sockets, from moisture and corrosion; It is used for the spark plug protective cover, which can prevent the spark plug from splashing, being affected with moisture and adhering to dust, which is essential for the good operation of the ignition system, and also has good electrical insulation characteristics and heat resistance; It is used for radiator, heat exchanger and water pump gasket to ensure that these parts will not be corroded during the transmission of antifreeze; It can also be used for cylinder head gasket, engine cover, valve cover, oil pump or oil pan to improve its oil resistance.
3. Electronic industry
The extremely professional application of the electronic industry puts forward high requirements for sealing materials, and the excellent characteristics of silicone rubber can fully meet the requirements of the electronic industry products.
Silicone rubber can be used as a sealing element in the engine industrial production field with high requirements for heating hoses and coolant hoses; It can be used as the main material of insulating components for engine gaskets, electronic packages, control device gaskets, circuits and special components for decoupling noise reduction; It can also be used as the main material of various electronic tubes or electrical components for coating and sealing, with the effect of moisture-proof, dust-proof, shockproof and improving electrical performance. Because silicone rubber has a wide working temperature and bursting strength, the hose made of silicone rubber can avoid kinking and vacuum collapse. In the cable field, silicone rubber is used for indoor and outdoor cable terminal connectors, insulation devices and surge arresters. High pressure resistant liquid silicone rubber is very suitable for power transmission and distribution.
4. Other
Silicone rubber is also widely used in machinery, construction, textile, chemical industry, light industry, printing and other industries as insulation, packaging, sealing, moisture-proof and anti-seismic materials. As a soft film material, it is widely used in the manufacture of cultural relics, handicrafts, toys, mechanical parts, etc. Silicon rubber sealed semiconductors can be used in industrial motors, locomotives, power supplies that need high-voltage switches, mobile phone base stations, satellites, radar and other high-frequency communications. The toys made of silicone rubber are not afraid of tearing, have excellent touch, are easy to color and can be sterilized at high temperature, and the game equipment made of silicone rubber is durable and not afraid of wind and rain.
