What is the difference between a silicone gasket and a rubber gasket? In the use of silicone gaskets, our application environment is different, so for some occasions our silicone and rubber applications are different, and the effects and characteristics of use are also different. Silicone products are also one of the types of rubber products. The difference between silicone and rubber is that they are toxic and non-toxic. The two burn when the silicone is burned without burning. The smoke is white when it burns, and the black smoke when rubber is burned. The clothespin is black again and has a strong taste.

Today's silicone products manufacturers use non-toxic and environmentally friendly synthetic rubber and natural rubber as raw materials. Synthetic rubber includes neoprene, butadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber and the like. The structure of natural rubber is high polymer. When the rubber is deformed by external force, it can recover quickly, and it has good chemical stability and mechanical properties. It has good flexibility and can be used in some high and low temperature resistant places, and rubber products are not as good as silicone products for low temperature applications. In many aspects, we now choose to replace the rubber products with silicone products.

And rubber products are now commonly used in our industrial manufacturing and automotive parts agricultural and industrial manufacturing industries. During the production process, due to the elasticity of the rubber, it cannot be worn away. The product has an unstable hardness shrinkage. After a period of buffering, it can stabilize the cohesion. In the production of molds, the coordination and calculation of the mold must be careful, otherwise it is prone to adverse conditions. Compared with rubber and silicone, the performance of rubber is often not as comprehensive as that of silicone products. Silicone is used in households and in catering. The needs of many friends, and for many friends, rubber is an odorous and toxic substance and is rarely used in daily life. Therefore, rubber products are basically used in some industrial manufacturing. Because silicone is relatively higher than rubber, In the same performance, rubber material is still selected.
