Silicone rubber has been widely used, but some people may not understand and distinguish between silicone rubber and silica gel, and the name is not fixed. Today, the editor will introduce the difference and classification of silicone and silicone rubber in detail. At present, the concept of the term "silicone" is not standardized, because so far there is no state clearly defined name. When we hear the word "silica gel", we must understand whether it is silica or silicon-containing synthetic rubber, or in the final analysis, it is inorganic silica gel or organic silica gel.

"Silica gel" is called by several related words: silicone rubber, silicone rubber, silicone. The relationship between silicone rubber and silica gel is different from silicone rubber and includes silicone rubber. Silicone rubber is the organic "silica gel" in "silica gel". "Silicone" is the term used by Hong Kong and Taiwan. In mainland China, it is called "silicone". Silicone and Silicone are the transliterations of English silicone. We usually say that it also means "silicone."

In summary, silica gel can be divided into organic silica gel and inorganic silica gel according to its properties and components.

Let me talk about silicone rubber
1. Performance and technical parameters of silicone rubber
Silicone rubber is the largest and most widely used category of silicone products. After vulcanization, silicone rubber has excellent high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, weather resistance, water repellency, electrical insulation, and physiological inertia.

The main properties and applications of silicone rubber products: according to its vulcanization temperature, silicone rubber can be divided into two categories: high temperature (heating) vulcanization and room temperature vulcanization. High temperature rubber is mainly used to manufacture various silicone rubber products, while room temperature rubber is It is mainly used as an adhesive, potting material or mold.

Hot Vulcanized Silicone Rubber (HTV)
Thermally vulcanized silicone rubber (HTV) is the most important category of silicone products, and methyl vinyl silicone rubber (VMQ) is the most important category in HTV, commonly known as high temperature rubber. Methyl vinyl silicone rubber (raw rubber) is a colorless, odorless, non-toxic, and no mechanical impurities. The raw rubber is mixed with appropriate reinforcing agents, structure control agents, vulcanizing agents and other additives as needed. Refining, then heating and compression molding or extrusion molding, and then two-stage vulcanization into various products. Its products have excellent electrical insulation, strong resistance to arc, corona, and spark, waterproof, moisture-proof, impact resistance, shock resistance, physiological inertia, air permeability and other properties. Mainly used in aviation, instrumentation, electronics and electrical appliances, navigation, metallurgy, machinery, automobiles, medical and health and other departments, can be used to make various shapes of sealing rings, gaskets, tubes, cables, and can also be used as human organs, blood vessels, breathable membranes and Rubber molds, mold release agents for precision casting, etc.
