If you want to find the most resilient star in the vast starry sky of polymer materials, silicone rubber is undoubtedly worthy. This synthetic elastomer with silicon oxygen bonds as the main chain, with a super high bond energy of 451 kJ/mol for a Si-O bond, has carved out a vast expanse of rubber from -100 ℃ to 300 ℃, making it a "all-weather warrior" in the materials industry.

The origin of silicone rubber can be traced back to 1945, when the United States first synthesized this miraculous material using ferric chloride as a catalyst. In 1948, the introduction of high specific surface area gas-phase white carbon black was like equipping this thousand mile horse with the strongest saddle, and its performance jumped to the practical stage, laying the foundation for the modern silicone rubber industry. China began its industrialization journey in 1957, and by the end of 2003, its production capacity had reached 135 thousand tons. Since then, it has made great progress and has now established a complete industrial chain from white carbon black processing to terminal products, firmly positioning itself as the world's largest producer of silicone rubber.

The skills of this' all-weather warrior 'are not just a name for themselves. In extremely cold conditions, ordinary rubber has already frozen and cracked, but silicone rubber still works calmly at -55 ℃, and with the introduction of benzene, it can even lower to -73 ℃; In the midst of flames, it can hold its position for a long time at 180 ℃, and even withstand scorching temperatures above 300 ℃ in the short term without losing its elasticity. Its electrical performance is equally impressive - its corona resistance life is a thousand times that of polytetrafluoroethylene, its arc resistance life is twenty times that of fluororubber, and the silicon dioxide generated after combustion is still an insulator, making it foolproof for use in high-voltage situations. What's even more rare is that it is odorless, non-toxic, physiologically inert, and almost does not react with human tissues. It is anticoagulant and non adhesive, which makes it like a fish in water in the medical field, from baby pacifiers to artificial hearts, from medical catheters to drug delivery systems, its presence can be seen everywhere.
