Liquid silicone rubber has many advantages, such as good temperature resistance, the ability to maintain good elasticity and stability over a wide temperature range, which enables it to withstand high temperature and high pressure environments during injection molding and encapsulation, and is not easily deformed or damaged. It has good stability against most chemicals and is not easily corroded by acids, bases, salts, and other chemicals. During the injection molding process, even if certain chemicals are encountered, they will not have any adverse effects.
As an excellent electrical insulation material, liquid silicone rubber has extremely high volume resistivity and surface resistivity. After injection molding and encapsulation, it can effectively prevent electrical leakage and short circuits, and improve product safety. Liquid silicone rubber has good elasticity and fatigue resistance, which can quickly recover to its original state when subjected to external forces, and is not prone to permanent deformation. After injection molding and encapsulation, it can effectively improve the durability and stability of the product. In addition, liquid silicone rubber has good fluidity and filling properties during the processing, which can fully fill every corner of the mold, making the product molding more complete and accurate. Moreover, the processing temperature is lower, which can reduce energy consumption and environmental pollution.
However, liquid silicone rubber also has some drawbacks. Its raw material prices are relatively high, and the processing requires a high level of technical expertise and equipment investment, resulting in relatively high costs, which to some extent limits its application in certain fields. Meanwhile, the curing time of liquid silicone rubber is relatively long, requiring a certain amount of time to reach a fully cured state, which to some extent affects production efficiency and increases uncertainty and risks in the production process.
In addition, liquid silicone rubber requires certain temperature and humidity conditions during processing and curing to ensure its stability and reliability. If the environmental conditions are poor, it may have adverse effects on its performance. Therefore, environmental control should be taken into account during the production process. Moreover, liquid silicone rubber may have poor compatibility with certain materials in certain situations, leading to issues such as weak adhesion and detachment. This requires thorough consideration and experimental verification when selecting materials and processes.
