Is there any harm in the smell of silicone products?
The basic structural unit of organic silica gel products is composed of silicon-oxygen chain links, and the side chains are connected to various other organic groups through silicon atoms. Therefore, the structure of silicone products contains both "organic groups" and "inorganic structures". This special composition and molecular structure allows it to combine the characteristics of organic substances and the functions of inorganic substances. Compared with other polymer materials, the most outstanding properties of silicone products are the following functions:
Temperature resistance

Silica gel products are based on silicon-oxygen (Si-O) bonds as the main chain structure. The bond energy of the C-C bond is 82.6 kcal/gram molecule. The bond energy of the Si-O bond in organic silicon is 121 kcal/g. Molecule, so silicone has high thermal stability, and the chemical bonds of the molecules will not break or decompose under high temperature (or radiation exposure). Silicone rubber products are not only resistant to high temperatures, but also resistant to low temperatures and can be used in a wide temperature range. Whether it is chemical properties or physical and mechanical properties, the changes with temperature are very small.
Weather resistance

The main chain of silica gel is -Si-O-, and there are no double bonds, so it is not easily decomposed by ultraviolet light and ozone. It has better thermal stability, radiation resistance and weather resistance than other polymer materials. Therefore, many silicone parts and silicone electronic accessories have a service life of up to several decades in the natural environment.

Electrical insulation properties

Silicone products all have good electrical insulation properties. Their dielectric loss, voltage resistance, arc resistance, corona resistance, volume resistivity and surface resistivity are among the best among insulating materials, and their electrical properties are affected by temperature and frequency. The impact is minimal. Therefore, they are stable electrical insulating materials and are widely used in the electronic and electrical industries. In addition to excellent heat resistance, silicone also has excellent water repellency, which guarantees the high reliability of electrical equipment when used in wet conditions.
