Properties and Applications of Silicone Rubber

Hits: 1235 img

Silicone rubber is a polymer composed of an elastic material (rubber like material) containing silicon along with carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Thermal vulcanization type (high-temperature vulcanized silicone HTV) and room temperature vulcanization type (RTV), among which room temperature vulcanization type is further divided into condensation reaction type and addition reaction type.

Silicone rubber is widely used in industry and can be used in various products, including voltage line insulators and automotive applications; Cooking, baking, and food storage products; Clothing, such as underwear, sportswear, and footwear; electronic product; Medical devices and implants; Eye black brush, cosmetics packaging, cosmetics applicator, etc

1、 Performance silicone rubber has excellent heat resistance, cold resistance, dielectric properties, ozone resistance, and atmospheric aging resistance. The outstanding performance of silicone rubber is its wide range of operating temperatures, which can be used for a long time from -60 ℃ (or lower) to+250 ℃ (or higher).

2、 In biomedical engineering, polymer materials play a very important role, and silicone rubber is a particularly important type of medical polymer material. It has excellent physiological inertness, is non-toxic, odorless, non corrosive, anticoagulant, and has good compatibility with the body. It can withstand harsh disinfection conditions. It can be processed into pipes, sheets, films, and shaped components as needed, and can be used as medical devices, artificial organs, etc.

There are specialized medical grade silicone rubbers available both domestically and internationally today. Silicone rubber performs excellently in the following areas: high and low temperature stability, inertness (odorless and tasteless), transparency, easy coloring, wide hardness range of 10-80 Shore hardness, chemical resistance, good sealing performance, and compression deformation resistance. In addition to the above excellent properties, compared with conventional organic elastomers, silicone rubber is also particularly easy to process and manufacture.
