In today’s era, people are increasingly embracing an eco-friendly lifestyle.
With the widespread use of silicone products abroad, they have gradually gained popularity in China as well. Not familiar with them yet? It’s time to get to know the “Eco-Friendly Ambassador”—Silicone!
Silicone rubber products are made from silicone rubber as the primary material, supplemented with various fillers as needed. Through processes such as mixing, milling, vulcanization, molding, injection, extrusion, and bonding, they are manufactured into final products. Vulcanized silicone rubber products possess the following characteristics:
- High and Low Temperature Resistance – Can be used continuously at 200°C and remains elastic even at -60°C.
- Excellent Electrical Insulation – Silicone rubber exhibits outstanding dielectric properties, especially at high temperatures, significantly outperforming conventional organic rubbers. Its dielectric strength remains stable within the 20–200°C range.
- Outstanding Weather, Ozone, and UV Resistance – It does not crack even after prolonged outdoor exposure. It is generally believed that silicone rubber can withstand outdoor use for over 20 years.
- Excellent Alcohol and Water Resistance – Provides superior resistance to alcohols and outstanding waterproofing properties.
- Superior High-Temperature Compression Set Resistance – Maintains its shape and elasticity even under prolonged compression at high temperatures.
- Good Processability and Easy Molding – Can be processed into various products through methods such as hot-air vulcanization extrusion, molding, and addition-cure molding.
- Special Silicone Rubbers with Custom Properties – Some silicone rubbers can be formulated to have flame retardancy, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity, catering to specific industry needs.
Due to its exceptional overall performance and cost-effectiveness, silicone rubber products are widely used in aviation, nuclear energy, automotive, electrical appliances, electronics, instrumentation, machinery, toys, chemicals, healthcare, and daily life.
