Silicone rubber has a wide range of applications in many fields due to its unique comprehensive properties, such as high and low temperature resistance, aging resistance, electrical insulation, physiological inertness, etc. Here are some specific application scenarios:
1. Automobile industry
Silicone rubber is becoming more and more widely used in the automotive industry. It can be used for automotive ignition wires, spark plug protective covers, heating and radiator hoses, muffler linings, battery joints and other components to improve the performance of these components and reduce maintenance costs. In addition, with the development of vehicle electronic electrification, room-temperature vulcanized silicone rubber is also widely used as a potting material for electronic parts and electrical assemblies, as well as adhesive sealants for windshields, seals around car bodies, and reflectors.
2. Electronic and electrical industries
Silicone rubber is one of the earliest and most demanded materials used as insulating materials in the electronic and electrical industries. It is mainly used for TV anode covers, high-voltage protective covers, high-voltage lead-out wires, refrigerator defroster wires, wires and cables for power or signal transmission, etc. In addition, insulators made of silicone rubber will replace ceramic products and are widely used in transmission lines, especially ultra-high voltage lines. Conductive silicone rubber is also used in electrical contacts and liquid crystal display contacts of electronic computers, telephones and other instruments.
3. Aerospace industry
Silicone rubber is an indispensable high-performance material in the aerospace industry. It can withstand the ultra-cold of space and the scorching heat of returning to the atmosphere, prolong the life of aircraft parts, reduce maintenance costs, and reduce accidents. Silicone rubber is mainly used in aircraft fuselage hole seals, electrical connectors, sealing switches, dustproof and waterproof covers, gasket gaskets, "O" type sealing rings for jet engines and hydraulic devices, oxygen masks, control diaphragms, hot air ducts and radar wireless shock absorbers and other components.
4.the medical industry
Silicone rubber is also widely used in the medical field. It has good biocompatibility, small reaction to the body, stable performance, low blood coagulation, and can withstand high temperature and high pressure for multiple cooking. Silicone rubber can be processed into various shapes of products, such as films, sponges, air bags, etc., which are used to manufacture blood vessels, various cannulas, drainage tubes, cosmetic and repair materials, artificial skin, drug sustained release systems, and biosensors. In addition, silicone rubber can also be used to make various human organs, such as artificial larynx, artificial lungs, retinal implants, artificial heart spherical mitral valves, etc.
5. Construction industry
Silicone rubber also has applications in the construction industry. For example, silicone structural adhesives are mainly used for structural or non-structural adhesive assembly of metal and glass curtain walls, meeting the design requirements of fully concealed or semi-concealed frames. The neutral weather-resistant adhesive is suitable for the weather-resistant sealing of the exterior of various curtain walls, especially for the weather-resistant sealing of glass curtain walls, aluminum-plastic panel curtain walls and stone dry hanging.
6. Daily life
Silicone rubber also has a wide range of applications in daily life. For example, it can be used to make gaskets on appliances such as coffee pots, electric fryers, and steam irons, as well as pads for the ears and head of stereo headphones. Silicone rubber can also be made into household items such as non-slip mats and placemats, as well as maternal and child products such as feeding bottles, pacifiers, and cups. In addition, silicone rubber is also used in the toy industry, because of its safety, environmental protection, can meet food grade standards.
7. Other areas
In addition to the above-mentioned fields, the application of silicone rubber in the fields of textiles, printing, machinery, plastics, chemicals, papermaking, food and cosmetics has also increased significantly. For example, silicone rubber can be made into rollers that are used for heat setting of fabrics, plastics, embossing, calendering, and fusing of copiers. Modified atmosphere windows made of silicone rubber film have been used to store fruits and vegetables. In addition, silicone rubber can also be used as a sealing material in high-temperature textile equipment and equipment with high concentrations of alkali, sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide.
To sum up, silicone rubber has a wide range of application prospects in many fields due to its unique properties. With the progress of science and technology and people's understanding of the properties of silicone rubber, the application field of silicone rubber will continue to expand.
