Processing Technology of Silicone Rubber and Strategies for Performance Optimization

Hits: 533 img

The processing technology of silicone rubber is a crucial factor determining its final performance and application range. In the processing of silicone rubber, mixing, molding, and vulcanization are the three main steps.

Mixing is the process of uniformly mixing various additives with the silicone rubber matrix, and its quality directly affects the physical and chemical properties of silicone rubber. Therefore, it is crucial to select suitable additives, control the mixing temperature and time, and ensure uniform mixing.

Molding is the process of processing the mixed silicone rubber into the desired shape. Depending on the specific needs of the product, different molding methods such as extrusion, molding, and calendaring can be chosen. During the molding process, it is necessary to strictly control the temperature, pressure, and time to ensure the product's dimensional accuracy and surface quality.

Vulcanization is the final step in the processing of silicone rubber and a crucial step in determining its performance. Through vulcanization, the molecular chains of silicone rubber undergo crosslinking to form a three-dimensional network structure, thereby endowing silicone rubber with excellent physical and chemical properties. The vulcanization temperature, time, and pressure parameters need to be precisely controlled according to the type and performance requirements of the silicone rubber.

To further optimize the performance of silicone rubber, methods such as improving processing technology, adding modifiers, and adjusting formulations can be used. For example, introducing nano-fillers or functional additives can improve the mechanical properties and aging resistance of silicone rubber.
