What are the production processes for liquid silicone?

Hits: 524 img

Liquid silicone is a polymer material with excellent heat resistance, cold resistance, weather resistance, and chemical stability, which is widely used in fields such as electronics, automobiles, and healthcare. The production process of liquid silicone mainly includes steps such as raw material ratio, mixing, heating, compression, and curing. Firstly, the production of liquid silicone requires the use of high-quality raw materials. Silicone, methyltrichlorosilane, water, etc. are the main raw materials for liquid silicone, among which silica is the main raw material for preparing silicone. After crushing, screening, and other treatments, silica can be processed to obtain coarse silica powder. Then mix methyltrichlorosilane and water in a certain proportion, add it to the coarse silica powder, and stir evenly to obtain the silica precursor. Next, the silicone precursor needs to be heated. Place the silicone precursor into a reaction vessel and heat it to undergo cross-linking reaction at a certain temperature. The crosslinking reaction is a crucial step in the solidification of liquid silicone, and it is necessary to control the temperature and time to ensure the quality and performance of liquid silicone.

During the heating process, liquid silicone needs to undergo compression treatment. Place the heated silicone precursor into the mold and compress it to form the desired shape under a certain pressure. The compression process requires controlling the pressure and time to ensure the shape and size of the liquid silicone. Liquid silicone requires curing treatment. Put the compressed liquid silicone into the curing chamber for curing treatment. The curing time and temperature need to be adjusted according to factors such as the type and thickness of the liquid silicone to ensure complete curing. In summary, the production process of liquid silicone requires mastering key steps such as raw material ratio, mixing, heating, compression, and curing to ensure the quality and performance of liquid silicone. With the continuous progress of technology and the expansion of application fields, the production process of liquid silicone will also be continuously improved and developed.
