Key Properties of Silicone Rubber:
1. Broad Temperature Range
Operates effectively from -50°C to 230°C, maintaining flexibility in extreme cold and resisting degradation at high temperatures.
2. Excellent Flexibility and Elasticity
Retains softness and resilience across a wide temperature spectrum, ideal for dynamic applications.
3. Superior Weather and Ozone Resistance
Resists UV radiation, ozone, and oxidation, ensuring durability in outdoor or harsh environments.
4. High Electrical Insulation
Exceptional dielectric properties, widely used in electronics, insulators, and high-voltage components.
5. Biocompatibility and Safety
Medical-grade variants comply with **ISO 10993** and **USP Class VI** standards, suitable for implants and food-contact applications.
6. Chemical Inertness
Resists water, polar solvents, and weak acids/alkalis, though limited against hydrocarbons and strong acids.
7. Low Compression Set
Maintains sealing performance under prolonged compression, suitable for gaskets and seals.
8. Hydrophobic Surface
Repels moisture, preventing bacterial growth and maintaining performance in humid conditions.
9. Transparency and Color Stability
Can be formulated as clear or colored, with UV stability for aesthetic and functional uses.
10. Ease of Processing
Supports liquid injection molding (LIM), extrusion, and 3D printing for complex geometries.
Note: Limited resistance to oils, fuels, and concentrated acids compared to fluorosilicones (FVMQ). Lower tensile strength than organic rubbers.
