Silicone rubber is a type of high-molecular-weight elastic material that combines both inorganic and organic properties. Its molecular backbone is composed of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms, with organic groups attached to the silicon atoms as side chains. This unique molecular structure gives silicone rubber many excellent properties.
Silicone rubber exhibits outstanding heat and cold resistance, maintaining elasticity under extreme temperature conditions. It also possesses good electrical insulation properties, with stable electrical performance even when subjected to temperature and frequency changes or moisture exposure. Additionally, silicone rubber has superior fire resistance and insulation, with the silicon dioxide ash produced after combustion still serving as an insulator.
In terms of applications, silicone rubber is widely used in the electrical industry, such as for insulation layers in electrical equipment like wires, cables, transformers, and motors. It is also used as a sealing material in electronic products, such as waterproof seals for mobile phones and cameras. Silicone rubber has further applications in cable accessories, composite insulators, anti-pollution coatings, and thermally conductive silicone rubber.
