What is the definition of silicone rubber?

Silicone rubber is a special synthetic polymer, completely different from natural rubber or conventional synthetic rubber. While traditional rubber has a carbon backbone, silicone rubber has an inorganic backbone made up of alternating silicon (Si) and oxygen (O) atoms (Si-O-Si), with organic groups attached to the silicon atoms.

It is this unique Si-O-Si bond structure that gives silicone rubber superior properties of heat resistance, chemical resistance and environmental stability that carbon-based rubbers find difficult to achieve.

It is a highly elastic material that can exist in many forms from liquid, gel to solid, and can be solidified by heat or at room temperature.

Outstanding properties of Silicone rubber material

With many years of experience in the insulation materials industry, Long Hai Minh is committed to providing high quality silicone rubber products with outstanding advantages:

● Withstands extremely high and low temperatures: The product is capable of operating stably in an extremely wide temperature range, from -70°C to +250°C , and can even withstand higher temperatures for short periods of time. This helps the material maintain its physical and chemical properties, without becoming brittle or cracking at low temperatures or becoming soft or melting at high temperatures.

● Absolute chemical inertness & biosafety: Silicone rubber almost does not react with most chemicals, acids, alkalis or solvents. In particular, most types of silicone rubber meet high safety standards such as Food-grade and Medical -grade , non-toxic, odorless, tasteless, ideal for applications in direct contact with humans or food.

● Effective insulation: Silicone rubber is an excellent insulating material, maintaining high insulating properties even in humid or high temperature environments. This ensures maximum safety for electrical and electronic devices and systems.

● High elasticity & low permanent deformation: Despite being soft and flexible, silicone rubber has the ability to almost perfectly restore its original shape after being subjected to compression or deformation, maintaining its elasticity over time, ensuring superior sealing or damping performance.

● Water, oil & chemical resistance: The surface of silicone rubber is highly hydrophobic, making it waterproof, oil resistant and resistant to many different chemicals, extending product life in harsh environments.

● Diverse colors & easy to process: Silicone rubber can be produced in many different colors, increasing the aesthetics of the product. At the same time, this material is easily processed by many methods such as extrusion, compression molding, injection molding to create complex shapes and sizes as required.

Notes when choosing Silicone rubber material

● Determine the exact working temperature: What are the minimum and maximum temperatures the material must withstand?

● Chemical environment assessment: Will the material come into contact with oils, acids, alkalis, or solvents? Is the exposure regular or intermittent?

● Requirements for hardness and elasticity: Depending on the function (sealing, shock absorption, force transmission), choose the appropriate hardness (Shore A).

● Necessary safety standards: For the food and medical industries, Food-grade and Medical-grade certification is required.

● Product form: Choose from sheet, roll, tube, or precast gasket depending on design and installation location.

Silicone rubber is an indispensable material in many modern industries, providing superior solutions for heat resistance, chemical resistance, electrical insulation and safety.

With a variety of types, tested quality and professional service from Long Hai Minh Industrial Insulation Materials Company , customers can be completely assured when choosing and applying silicone rubber to their projects.
