We can often see on the Internet about silicone products, rubber products, and silicone rubber products, but what are the differences between many of these products? What was the previous contact? do not know much.
First of all, silicone rubber products are a general term for silicone products and rubber products. Because these two products use similar materials and have similar processing and molding equipment and processes, they are classified as a large category of products.
Rubber products are highly elastic polymer compounds. Includes unvulcanized and vulcanized varieties. It can be divided into two categories: natural rubber products and synthetic rubber products. Natural rubber is processed from latex obtained from rubber plants. Synthetic rubber products are obtained by polymerization or polycondensation of monomers. Unvulcanized rubber products are commonly known as raw rubber products or raw rubber. Vulcanized rubber products are called vulcanized rubber products, commonly known as cooked rubber products or rubber. Widely used in the manufacture of sealing rings, foot pads, and other rubber products.
Silicone products are a kind of silicone rubber, which are one-component room temperature vulcanized liquid rubber products. Once exposed to the air, the silane monomer in it will condense to form a network structure, the system is cross-linked, cannot be melted and dissolved, is elastic, becomes a rubber product, and adheres to objects at the same time. Its thermal conductivity is slightly higher than that of ordinary rubber products, and once cured, it is difficult to separate the bonded objects.
Silicone swimming caps are mainly made of high-grade silicone products, which are soft to the touch, strong elongation, and very durable.
Other silicone products include: silicone straps, silicone labels, silicone lampshades, silicone bracelets, etc.
