What is the difference between silicone products and rubber products?

As far as the material is concerned, silicone is a kind of rubber, so silicone products are often called silicone rubber products, but silicone rubber products and rubber products are still different and have different uses. From a technological point of view, the processing equipment is basically the same.

       Compared with the characteristics of these two materials, rubber is a liquid adhesive and belongs to one-component room temperature vulcanization. Once the silane monomer is exposed to the air, it forms a network structure, the system is cross-linked, and cannot be melted and dissolved at the same time, elastic, and attached to the object at the same time, its thermal conductivity is slightly higher than that of ordinary rubber, and once it is cured, it is difficult to separate the bond. . A polymer compound with high elasticity on silicone. Includes unvulcanized and vulcanized varieties. From a structural point of view, it can be divided into two types: natural rubber and synthetic rubber. Natural rubber is made from latex produced by rubber plants. Synthetic rubber is formed by polymerization or polycondensation of monomers. Unvulcanized rubber is commonly referred to as raw rubber or green rubber. Vulcanized rubber is called vulcanized rubber, commonly known as cured rubber or rubber. Therefore, many finished products are also called rubber belts, which are widely used in the production of rubber products such as tires, rubber hoses, tapes, insulating materials, rubber shoes, etc.

       Silica gel is also known as organic silica gel. The performance characteristics of organic silica gel products are mainly composed of silicon oxygen chains, and the side chains are connected to other organic groups through silicon atoms. Therefore, the structure of silicon products contains both "organic groups" and "inorganic structures". , which is a special composition and molecular structure that combines the properties of organic substances with the functions of inorganic substances.

Compared with other polymer materials, the excellent properties of silicone products are as follows:

      1. High temperature resistance

      2. Weather resistance

      3. Electrical insulation properties

      4. Physiological inertia

      5. Low surface tension and low surface energy
