Silicone
Material
Silicone A polymer between organic and inorganic, the chemical formula is [-R2SiO-]n. It is composed of an inorganic silicon-oxygen bond structure (...-Si-O-Si-O-Si-O-...) and a covalent bond with a silicon atom. By controlling the length of the structure, the type of organic group and the cross-linking of the structure, silicon oxide polymers with different properties can be obtained, from liquid silicone resin to soft and elastic silicon gel, silicon rubber and rigid silicon resin.
Silicone can be deposited in the soil and decomposed, harmless to aquatic organisms and is non-bioaccumulative, does not contain any heavy metals, plasticizers and toxic substances, and is therefore the most environmentally friendly material recognized in the world. Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries have generally adopted Silicone materials to replace other materials.
Silicone has extremely high temperature stability and can be used stably without deterioration at -40°C~200°C. Therefore, the combination of silicone raw materials and coating materials in the processing process of silicone products and sealing operations is very important.
