What Is Liquid Silicone Rubber? | JCT Machinery

Features of Liquid Silicone Rubber

1. High Temperature Stability

Liquid silicone rubber can still maintain stability in high temperature environments and has excellent high temperature resistance. This makes it widely used in the manufacturing and mold fields.

2. Low Temperature Flexibility

Even at extremely low temperatures, liquid silicone rubber remains flexible and does not become hard or brittle, making it suitable for some cold environments or applications that require low-temperature resistance.

3. Excellent Electrical Insulation Properties

Liquid silicone rubber has excellent electrical insulating properties, making it ideal for electronic devices, cable insulation and other electrical applications.

4. Excellent Weather Resistance

It is resistant to ultraviolet rays, oxidation and moisture corrosion, allowing liquid silicone rubber to maintain its performance for a long time in outdoor environments without significant aging.

5. Chemical Stability

Liquid silicone rubber has good resistance to many chemicals, making it widely used in various industrial and laboratory applications.

6. Excellent Adhesion

Liquid silicone rubber adheres to a variety of surfaces, making it excellent in sealing and bonding applications.

7. Food-grade Safety

Some specially manufactured liquid silicone can meet food-grade safety standards and is therefore used in the food processing and baking industries.

Application of Liquid Silicone Rubber

1. Sealing and Waterproofing

Due to its adhesion and weather resistance, liquid silicone rubber is often used for sealing and waterproofing, such as sealing electronic devices, glass, building structures, etc.

2. Mold Making

Liquid silicone rubber can be used to make molds of complex shapes, expecially in the fields of art, crafts, sculptures, etc.

3. Electronic Component Packaging

Due to its excellent electrical insulattion properties, liquid silicone is often used for packaging and insulation of electronic components.

4. Medical Device and Prosthesis Manufacturing

Biocompatible liquid silicone rubber is widely used in medical device and prosthesis manufacturing.

5. Baking Molds

Food-grade safe liquid silicone can be used to make baking molds, such as cake molds, chocolate molds, etc.
