Silicone rubber, a high-molecular-weight elastomer with both inorganic and organic properties in its molecular chain, boasts a unique structure that endows it with a series of remarkable characteristics. The backbone of silicone rubber is composed of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms (--Si-O-Si--), which contributes to its high thermal stability, enabling it to maintain stable physical and chemical properties within an extremely wide operating temperature range (-100°C to 350°C).

Silicone rubber excels not only in high and low-temperature resistance but also in electrical insulation, weather resistance, ozone resistance, gas permeability, high transparency, and outstanding tear strength and thermal conductivity. These properties have made silicone rubber a widely used material in various fields such as national defense, medical and health, industrial and agricultural production, as well as daily life. In the medical field, for instance, silicone rubber is employed in the manufacture of artificial heart valves and blood vessels due to its non-toxic, odorless, and physiologically inert nature. In the electronics industry, silicone rubber is utilized as encapsulation material for high-voltage insulators and other electronic components due to its excellent electrical insulation and thermal conductivity.
