Silicone rubber, a high-performance elastomer with its backbone composed of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms linked to organic groups, boasts a unique semi-organic and semi-inorganic polymer structure. This polymer combines the flexibility and processability of organic materials with the high temperature resistance and chemical durability of inorganic materials.
The remarkable properties of silicone rubber include:
Exceptional Heat and Cold Resistance: It operates in a broad temperature range from -100°C to 350°C, with some varieties maintaining elasticity at even higher temperatures.
Superb Electrical Insulation: Its electrical insulation properties remain stable under humidity, frequency changes, or temperature rises, exhibiting outstanding resistance to electrical corona and arc discharge.
Excellent Aging Resistance: Silicone rubber is resilient against ozone, heat, UV light, and atmospheric aging, ensuring long-term performance stability.
Excellent Sealing and Non-stick Properties: It exhibits low adhesion to various materials and hydrophobicity, making it ideal for sealing and isolating applications.
With its superior qualities, silicone rubber finds applications in various sectors:
Electrical Insulation: Used in wire and cable, transformers, motors, and other electrical equipment insulation layers.
Sealing Materials: Applied in waterproof seals for electronic devices such as mobile phones and cameras.
Cable Accessories: Including cold-shrinkable cable accessories, ensuring safety and sealing at cable connections.
Composite Insulators: Silicone rubber excels in crack resistance, hydrophobicity, and pollution resistance, making it the preferred material for composite insulators.
