What Is The Difference Between Silicone Sealing Strips And Rubber Sealing Strips?

Silicone rubber, also known as silicone rubber, is a highly active adsorbent material that belongs to the amorphous state. Its chemical formula is mSiO2 · nH2O. Insoluble in water and any solvent, chemically stable, and does not react with any substance except for strong bases. Various types of silicone gel form different microporous structures due to their different manufacturing methods. The chemical composition and physical structure of silicone determine that it has many characteristics that are difficult to replace by other similar materials: high adsorption performance, good thermal stability, stable chemical properties, and high mechanical strength.
Silicone can be divided into macroporous silicone, coarse pore silicone, B-type silicone, and fine pore silicone based on their pore size.
Rubber is a material made from latex extracted from rubber trees, rubber grasses, and other plants, processed into elastic, insulating, impermeable, and air tight materials. Highly elastic polymer compounds. It is divided into two types: natural rubber and synthetic rubber. Natural rubber is extracted and processed from rubber trees, rubber grasses, and other plants to produce gum; Synthetic rubber is obtained by polymerizing various monomers. Rubber products are widely used in various aspects of industry or life.
Generally speaking, silicone is colorless, heat-resistant, hygienic and safe. It can be used in medical equipment. Silicone cannot be ignited by fire, while rubber has good extensibility but is not heat-resistant and has a strong odor. It can be ignited by a little fire. Its more commonly used applications include car tires and sealing rings for general equipment
Silicone rubber sealing strips and rubber sealing strips are different, although they differ only by one word. From a compositional perspective, silicone rubber is a highly active adsorbent material and belongs to the amorphous state; And rubber is a latex extracted from plants such as rubber trees and rubber grasses.
Although silicone rubber sealing strips have good functional advantages such as heat resistance, cold resistance, insulation, conductivity, and flame retardancy, it is still necessary to select suitable silicone rubber sealing strips according to the actual situation during use. This can avoid poor sealing strip performance and prevent collapse.
