What is silicone rubber? How to choose?


 Choose silicone rubber – the material that works for you
Silicone rubber is an inorganic synthetic elastomer made from a crosslinked silicon-based polymer reinforced with filler. It offers a unique combination of chemical and mechanical properties organic elastomers cannot match.

These properties make silicone rubber the material of choice for applications ranging from bakeware to turbocharger hoses.

Why silicone rubber is the better choice?

  • Longer service life in adverse environments
  • Virtually unaffected by weather -- rain, snow, humidity, ozone, or the sun's damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays -- for many years
  • Organic elastomers may become brittle and crack under prolonged exposure to the environment
  • Wider operating temperature range -- from -100 to 316ºC (-148 to 600ºF)
  • Organic elastomers soften and deform irreversibly at temperatures >100ºC (>212ºF); they become brittle at temperatures <-25ºC (<-13ºF)
  • Inherently good electrical insulating qualities that do not change significantly under exposure to severe environmental stress (heat, cold, moisture, oil, ozone, UV rays)
  • Retains its natural flexibility and resilience (resists compression set) across a wider temperature range
  • Enhances the comfort and feel of consumer goods
  • Excellent sealing performance
  • Inert (no taste or smell); many food-contact options
  • More choices -- a wide hardness range (from 10 to 80 Shore A), a wide range of color choices (from transparent to brightly colored)
  • Better flow properties -- easier to fabricate, increases productivity
  • More fabricating options increased productivity

Let silicone rubber inspire your next design

With the flexibility of silicone rubber, you have endless design options in rubber fabrication. Silicone rubber can be molded, calendered, or extruded in different forms, shapes, sizes, and designs.

Silicone rubber products

Silicone rubber can be found in a wide variety of products, including automotive applications; cooking, baking, and food storage products; apparel such as undergarments, sportswear, and footwear; electronics; medical devices and implants; and in home repair and hardware with products such as silicone sealants.

Natural rubber & Synthetic rubbers

图片
Natural rubber Natural Rubber - Solid state Natural rubber is made from a runny, milky white liquid called  latex  that oozes from certain plants when you cut into them. (Common dandelions, for example, produce latex; if you snap off their stems, you can see the latex dripping out from them. In theory, there's no reason why we couldn't make rubber by growing dandelions, though we'd need an awful lot of them. Although there are something like 200 plants in the world that produce latex, over 99 percent of the world's natural rubber is made from the latex that comes from a tree species called  Hevea brasiliensis , widely known as the rubber tree . This latex is about one third water and one third rubber particles held in a form known as a  colloidal  suspension. Natural rubber is a polymer of isoprene (also known as 2-methylbuta-1,3-diene) with the chemical formula (C 5 H 8 )n. To put it more simply, it's made of many thousands of basic C 5 H 8 units (the mon

Types of Liquid Silicone Rubber

Silicone rubbers are man-made polymer materials that have a wide range of industrial and manufacturing applications. The various types of silicone rubbers include room temperature vulcanize, liquid silicone, fluorosilicone and high-consistency rubber. In this post, we’ll provide information about liquid silicone rubber, including what it is and the types that are available for manufacturing purposes. WHAT IS LIQUID SILICONE RUBBER? Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is classified as an elastomer, which means it possesses exceptional elasticity (ability to resume its normal shape after stretching). Key LSR attributes include hardness, tensile strength (resistance to break under tension) and compression set. Other LSR characteristics include excellent bacteria resistance and hydrophobicity, meaning that it acts as a water repellent. The two liquid silicone rubber types include food grade and medical grade. WHAT IS FOOD GRADE LSR? Food grade liquid silicone rubber is well-suited for

An Introduction About Plastic And Marrin Litter

Plastic is present everywhere around us – its durability, low cost, light weight and easily modified shape and properties has led to almost exponential increase in production since its large-scale manufacturing started in 1950s. Nowadays the global annual production of plastics exceeds 311 million tons and it is expected to rise year after year. Plastic is a synthetic material consisting of polymers, which form the basic structure of plastic. This structure can be modified to fulfil different needs by using additives that for example improve the flexibility or strength of the material. The wide variety of different plastics have their unique properties which make them suitable for different applications, e.g. packaging or insulation. Marine litter includes all anthropogenic material that has been entered the marine environment by intentional or unintentional actions of human beings. The composition of marine litter varies between locations, but usually most of the litter consists of p
