Silicone Rubber

 

Silicone rubber is a synthetic polymer type that has very special functions and advantages. This is because it has some physical properties not found in other synthetic rubber polymer types.

Some of the advantages of silicone rubber are as follows:

  • Resistant to weather
  • Resistant to aging
  • Resistant to temperatures up to 250°C and also resistant to cold temperatures.

Silicone rubber is stable at temperature range of 100°C - 250°C. Performance of silicone rubber is more durable than other organic elastomers. When compared to natural rubber, silicone rubber is an excellent electrical insulation and has better fireproof properties. Properties such as volume resistance, dielectric strength and other strength factors are not affected by temperature changes. These properties are known as thermal stability. These properties are known as thermal stability.

  • Resistant to UV
  • Resistant to to high humidity
  • Resistant to some chemicals and oils
  • Silicone rubber is food grade and non-toxic.

Because of the non-toxic nature of the silicone rubber material, it is ideal for medical and hospital equipment, pharmaceutical, and others.

In addition to some of the advantages mentioned above, one of the uniqueness of silicone rubber is to have an anti-sticky surface, this makes it much needed as a material to prevent the occurrence of bonding or sticking of an object against other objects. For example: a sticky pan, bread or cake mold and other products.

Products made from silicone rubber materials are widely available in our daily lives such as rubber bracelets, household appliances, equipment in our cars or vehicles, supporting equipment in home or other larger construction buildings. Even some parts of solar heating appliances are made from silicone rubber / silicone rubber, where the elasticity of the material helps the panel withstand high or low temperatures.

Some advantages of silicone rubber raw materials and other products made from silicone rubber raw materials are as follows:

  • Product made of silicone rubber has resistance to rain and are not affected by soaking in sea water. These advantages make many dive equipment, seals and gaskets on submarine equipment or ships, equipment on offshore oil drilling are made of silicone rubber raw materials.
  • Silicone rubber products can be formulated into electrically insulative or conductive products, making silicone rubber products suitable for electrical equipment such as cable wrapping, gasket insulation, conductive gaskets and keyboard components.
  • Silicone rubber products do not support the growth of microorganisms, odorless and tasteless, do not cause discoloration, corrosion or damage to other contact ingredients so they are suitable for use in clean environments and ideal for use in devices medical, these products can also be categorized as food grade products.

Many industrial fields require silicone rubber due to its advantages such as: medical or laboratory equipment factory, hospital, pharmaceutical, food industry etc.
