Liquid silicone rubber: a journey from molecular miracles to the wonders of life

Hits: 1363 img

Liquid silicone rubber, as a polymer elastomer material with silicon oxygen bonds as the main chain and organic groups as the side chains, occupies an indispensable position in the field of materials science due to its unique molecular structure and physicochemical properties. The main chain formed by the alternating arrangement of silicon and oxygen atoms in its molecular chain endows the material with excellent thermal stability and weather resistance, and can maintain elasticity and mechanical properties in a wide temperature range of -60 ° C to 250 ° C.

The organic groups in the side chains, on the other hand, endow it with adjustable hardness, transparency, biocompatibility, and other diverse characteristics by regulating their types and proportions. This material exists in liquid form and has low viscosity flow characteristics. It can achieve precise molding of complex structures through various processing methods such as injection molding, pouring, 3D printing, etc., avoiding vulcanization and mold limitations in traditional solid rubber processing, greatly improving production efficiency and product accuracy.


In the medical field, liquid silicone rubber is widely used in the manufacture of medical devices such as artificial organs, catheters, and medical patches due to its biocompatibility, non toxicity, odorlessness, and ability to undergo high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization.

Its soft touch and good biological adaptability can reduce patient discomfort while ensuring long-term implant safety. In the electronics industry, its excellent electrical insulation performance, high and low temperature cycling resistance, and UV aging resistance make it an ideal choice for electronic component packaging, connector sealing, LED lighting module heat dissipation, and other scenarios, effectively protecting electronic devices from environmental corrosion and mechanical impact.

In the automotive industry, liquid silicone rubber is used to manufacture engine seals, fuel system components, shock absorbers, etc. due to its characteristics of oil and corrosion resistance, high temperature sealing, etc., to improve the reliability and comfort of vehicle operation. In addition, in the field of architecture, its excellent weather resistance, waterproof performance, and plasticity make it a key material for building sealants, waterproof coatings, and decorative components, extending the service life of buildings while giving them a beautiful appearance.
