What material is the best for sealing, silicone sealing tells you!

Sealing is a component that exists in almost every mechanical, electronic, and everyday tool. When it comes to sealing and protective functions, rubber materials have always been a leader in the sealing industry. Different industries use different rubber materials, and silicone rubber seals are playing an increasingly important role in many industries. At present, there are more and more cases of silicone rubber seals replacing rubber seals in many environmental and safety fields, electronic product industries, etc. And what protective effect can it provide to replace certain rubber seals?

At present, in addition to some special equipment and special environments, special rubber materials can be used to achieve the desired effect. In many mechanical and electronic industries, the sealing effect that ordinary rubber can achieve requires that silicone rubber sealing rings can basically achieve it, but the cost of some materials can be higher than that of rubber. When it comes to the field of environmental protection and safety, silicone rubber is currently a prominent material, and its various properties will not affect the environment and main substances. So what are its advantages?
Compared to rubber, odor is one of the most important factors. If rubber is used for a long time, it is easy to produce gas, causing conflicts during the operation of the main product. Silicone is a non-toxic and environmentally friendly material that does not produce any odor after secondary sulfurization at high temperatures. But the pungent smell of rubber becomes increasingly strong at high temperatures. In contrast, silicone has more outstanding stability than rubber and is suitable for environmental protection.

In addition to odor, the performance of silicone seals is different and somewhat outstanding, while the outstanding performance of rubber seals is dispersed. Due to the synthesis of multiple substances, at least more than ten formulas are required, and the properties of different types of rubber are also different, so it is still a bit difficult to combine several properties. However, silicone rubber product materials have concentrated properties. Unlike rubber sealing rings, they can achieve good aging and functionality in the field of environmental protection, and can also achieve good sealing function without affecting normal function.
Silicone products, as an environmentally friendly rubber material, are mainly used in the fields of environmental protection and safety. At present, it can be seen everywhere as a sealing function in many household appliances and appliances. In addition, it can also play a good role in the medical industry. As clinical catheters, syringe heads, and other devices are made of medical grade silicone, silicone sealing products still play a significant role in our daily products.
Due to its outstanding performance, many sealing materials related to daily life currently choose silicone materials, such as the research and development of electronic products, many silicone accessories in automotive daily tools, and peripheral protective sealing products.
