What are the characteristics of good quality silicone products?

With the continuous development and innovation of the silicone industry, due to the wide application of silicone products in various industries, more and more silicone products are on the market. However, some inferior or fake silicone products have also appeared. So what should we do when purchasing silicone products? How to judge the quality of silicone products?
1. Wear resistance

   Wear resistance is a characteristic of the production and molding of silicone products. The surface of silicone products can withstand wear and tear. Good silicone products generally rarely rub off the surface of the product due to external factors, and do not affect the appearance, text, and color of the performance. The characters on the surface of inferior-quality silicone products are easy to fall off.

2. Flexibility

   Silicone products have good elasticity, because high elasticity mainly comes from the movement of silica gel molecular segments, so when purchasing silicone products, first look at the elasticity of the silicone products to judge the quality.

3. Tear strength and tensile strength

   Silicone products with high tear strength have outstanding damage resistance, long service life, and are not easily disturbed by the external environment. Silicone products with poor tear strength are generally prone to cracks during the tearing process, which can rapidly expand and crack when subjected to force, leading to damage. Phenomenon.

4. Fatigue resistance

    When silicone products are subjected to alternating stress (or strain), the structure and performance of the material change, which is called fatigue. As the fatigue process progresses, the phenomenon that causes the damage of silicone products is called fatigue damage.

5. Hardness and elongation stress

   Important indicators that reflect the rigidity (stiffness) of rubber materials. Both are the forces required for silicone products to produce a certain deformation.
