Silicone rubber, a unique material consisting of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms in its backbone with organic groups attached, has gained widespread adoption across multiple industries due to its exceptional properties. Its remarkable resistance to both high and low temperatures allows silicone rubber products to maintain stability and elasticity in extreme environments, ranging from -100°C to 350°C. In the industrial sector, silicone rubber seals, pipe connectors, and other components are widely used for their excellent electrical insulation and chemical stability.

Moreover, silicone rubber's high gas permeability and physiological inertness make it an ideal material for medical applications. Being non-toxic, odorless, and non-irritating, silicone rubber does not trigger adverse reactions in human tissues and exhibits outstanding biocompatibility. This has led to its extensive use in medical devices, artificial organs, and drug carriers, such as pacemaker cases, artificial joints, and silicone catheters.

Silicone rubber is further categorized into heat-vulcanized (HTV) and room-temperature vulcanized (RTV) types. HTV silicone rubber is primarily utilized in the manufacture of high-temperature and low-temperature-resistant silicone rubber products, while RTV silicone rubber serves more as an adhesive, potting material, or mold. With advancements in technology, silicone rubber formulations and processes continue to evolve, broadening its scope of applications.
