Applications and characteristics of silicone rubber

Thread Content

Among the many synthetic rubbers, silicone rubber stands out as the best. It is tasteless and non-toxic, resistant to high temperatures and extreme cold, has good compressive deformation resistance and sealing properties. Silicone rubber also possesses good electrical insulation, resistance to ozone aging and light aging, as well as mold resistance and chemical stability. Thanks to its excellent properties, silicone rubber has found very wide applications, mainly in industries such as aviation, instrumentation, navigation, and healthcare. “Rubber-plastic sealing strips (gaskets) for building curtain walls are mainly used in the glass exterior walls of large buildings. Without compromising the overall aesthetic appearance of the building, this product enhances its wind and water resistance, stabilizes the exterior glass structure, and improves the building’s safety.
