Silicone Rubber

Description :

Overview of Silicone Rubber

Silicone Rubber is a highly-performing elastic material made from a silicon polymer backbone, which is reinforced with curing agents and fillers. Contrary to other organic rubbers, silicone rubber is made up of siloxan bonds that give incredible flexibility, thermal stability and resistance to aging in the environment.

This material is famous for its capability to function in extreme temperatures as well as maintain flexibility as time passes, and resist the effects of chemicals, moisture and UV radiation. Silicone Rubber is available in liquid, solid as well as RTV (room-temperature Vulcanizing) forms, which makes it ideal for a variety of manufacturing and industrial needs.

Because of its durability and versatility, Silicone Rubber is extensively used in sealing, insulation, molding, and specialty industrial applications.

Application of Silicone Rubber

Sealing, Gaskets & Industrial Components

Silicone Rubber is widely used for seals, gaskets, and molded components where long-term elasticity and temperature resistance are required. It maintains performance in both high-heat and low-temperature environments without cracking or hardening.

These applications align closely with requirements in rubber industries, where reliability and durability are critical.

Silicone Rubber Adhesives & Bonding

In the formulation of adhesives, silicone rubber is a flexible adhesive with great resistance to heat, humidity and even vibration. It is typically used in situations where traditional adhesives fail due to stress from environmental or thermal.

In some systems, it is evaluated alongside materials like Epoxy Resin to balance flexibility and bonding strength.

Liquid Silicone Rubber for Mold Making

Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) is commonly used for mold making due to its excellent flow properties, dimensional accuracy, and ease of processing. It allows the creation of highly detailed molds with smooth surface finish and long service life.

Specialty & High-Performance Applications

In the formulations for specialty industrial applications it is utilized in applications where electrical insulation, as well as thermal stability are needed. It is used in systems that involve Silicone Resin or cured using catalysts like Tin 2-Ethylhexanoate based on the requirements for processing.

These uses also fall within broader polymer applications, where performance under demanding conditions is essential.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

• Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area

• Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use

• Avoid prolonged skin contact with uncured material

• Prevent inhalation of fumes during curing

• Use protective gloves and suitable workwear

• Follow standard elastomer handling and storage practices

• Dispose of packaging according to local regulations
