The development of silicone rubber began in the 40s of the 20th century, and was first produced by Dow Corning, General Electric and other companies in the United States. In the early 60s of the 20th century, China successfully researched and industrialized the production of silicone rubber. At present, the countries that produce silicone rubber include China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, the former Soviet Union, Germany, etc., with more than 1,000 varieties and grades.

Silicone rubber can be divided into three main types according to its vulcanization mechanism: hot vulcanization, room temperature vulcanization and addition reaction. Among them, hot vulcanized silicone rubber is the earliest and has many varieties, such as polydimethylsiloxane rubber, methyl vinyl polysiloxane rubber, etc. These different types of silicone rubbers have a variety of properties that are suitable for different application areas.

With the advancement of technology and the continuous improvement of material performance requirements, the performance of silicone rubber has been continuously improved and perfected. In the future, silicone rubber is expected to be used in more fields such as biomedicine, aerospace, etc. At the same time, environmental protection and sustainable development will also become an important direction for the development of silicone rubber, driving the silicone rubber industry to develop in a greener and environmentally friendly direction.
