Resistant to aging, weathering, and many chemicals.
Maintains elasticity over a wide temperature range.
Ideal for medical and food-grade applications.
Can be easily colored and formulated
1.Material Preparation: Silicone rubber is mixed with various additives to achieve the desired properties.
2.Mold Preparation: A mold is designed and manufactured, typically from metal, to the exact shape of the final product.
3.Injection or Compression Molding: The silicone rubber is injected or placed into the mold. In injection molding, the silicone is heated and injected into the mold under pressure. In compression molding, the silicone is placed in the mold and compressed.
4.Curing: The mold is heated, causing the silicone to cure and harden into the shape of the mold.
5.Demolding: Once the silicone has cured, the mold is opened, and the finished product is removed.
6.Post-Processing: Additional steps such as trimming, coating, or assembly may be performed as needed.
1.Elasticity: High flexibility and ability to return to its original shape after deformation.
2.Temperature Resistance: Can withstand a wide range of temperatures from -60°C to 250°C.
3.Chemical Resistance: Resistant to many chemicals, oils, and solvents.
4.Durability: Long-lasting and resistant to aging, UV light, and ozone.
5.Biocompatibility: Suitable for medical and food-grade applications.
1.Versatility: Can be molded into complex shapes and designs.
2.Durable: Long lifespan and resistant to wear and tear.
3.Safe: Non-toxic and biocompatible options available for medical and food use.
4.Thermal Stability: Maintains properties over a wide temperature range.
5.Electrical Insulation: Excellent insulator, useful in electrical applications.
6.Low Compression Set: Retains its shape even under prolonged stress or compression.
1.Cost: Higher initial material and production costs compared to some other elastomers.
2.Processing Time: Longer curing times can slow down production.
3.Limited Bonding: Difficult to bond with certain substrates without special adhesives or surface treatments.
4.Mechanical Strength: While flexible, it is not as strong or tough as some other materials like thermoplastics or metals.
5.Potential for Deformation: Under high stress or extreme conditions, silicone can deform or tear.
6.Environmental Sensitivity: Despite its chemical resistance, prolonged exposure to certain chemicals can still degrade silicone over time.
