Physically, silicone is a material based on quartz silicon. To manufacture such synthetic elastomers, side organic groups (such as methyl, phenyl, and vinyl) are attached to silicon atoms. Adding different side chains can achieve different performance. Silicone has a wide temperature range and good low-temperature elasticity. Silicone has better physical properties than general rubber materials at high temperatures, and it is also very suitable as a static sealing material for extreme temperatures. Silicone is very clean, odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic, so it is widely used in the food and medical industries.
Temperature range:
-60℃～225℃
Material advantages:
Excellent heat and cold resistance;
Superior compression permanent deformability;
Clean and non-toxic.
Insufficient material:
Due to poor tensile strength, tear resistance, and wear resistance, silicone is not suitable as a material for dynamic seals.
