In the rapidly developing field of materials science today, silicone rubber has become a key material in many industries due to its excellent performance. Today, we will focus on the shining star in the silicone rubber family - ethyl silicone rubber.



Ethyl silicone rubber, from a chemical structure perspective, is a type of diethylsilicone rubber produced by ingeniously introducing ethyl groups into the side chains of dimethyl polysiloxane. Don't underestimate this small change, the introduction of ethyl is like a magical key that completely destroys the original crystallization properties of silicone rubber, but opens a door to excellent cold resistance. Its lowest glass transition temperature can reach an astonishing -147 ℃! This data makes it undoubtedly the silicone rubber with the best low-temperature resistance performance.

Currently, with the continuous exploration of extreme environments worldwide, the demand for low-temperature resistant materials is becoming increasingly urgent. Whether it is cryogenic equipment, it can operate stably in an environment close to absolute zero; Still in high latitude and cold regions, various facilities need to withstand extreme cold tests; Or in the field of aerospace, aircraft shuttle through icy high altitudes and space; Even in deep-sea exploration, ethyl silicone rubber has demonstrated irreplaceable value in the icy depths of seawater. As the basic material for these low-temperature resistant rubber products, it provides a solid guarantee for the development of related industries and helps humanity break through one low-temperature limit after another.

Not only that, ethyl silicone rubber also has the unique properties of constant elastic modulus and constant damping factor. In the field of precision electronic equipment, vibration and shock may cause serious interference to the precise operation of the equipment. The characteristic of ethyl silicone rubber makes it a key raw material for damping and vibration reduction in precision electronic devices. Nowadays, electronic devices are developing towards miniaturization and high precision, and the requirements for vibration damping materials are also increasing. Ethyl silicone rubber is in line with the hot trend of this industry, which can effectively reduce vibration and noise during equipment operation, ensuring that electronic devices can still work stably and accurately in complex environments.
