Silicone products are physical products made from silicone, an inorganic polymer consisting of a silicone oxygen backbone and side groups on silicon atoms. Since silicone is usually non-reactive, stable, and resistant to harsh environmental and temperature extremes, it is a multi-purpose material that can be synthesized by different methods for a variety of applications. Silicone products are used in a wide range of industries such as healthcare, transportation, construction, textile, and consumer electronics due to their practical properties and ease of molding.
Silicone materials are basically divided into liquid silicone and solid silicone materials. Solid silicone is a solid state with no fluidity. Liquid silicone is a highly transparent and safe food-grade material that is molded without the addition of auxiliary materials such as vulcanizing agents and is sealed and fed into the mold. Solid silicone is a transparent and environmentally friendly material, which requires the addition of vulcanizing agents when molding, and open-mold feeding. Liquid silicone is injection-molded liquid silicone (LSR), whose full name is injection-molded liquid silicone rubber, and the curing equipment is injection molding machine.
Again, compared with ordinary plastic materials, silicone materials have their own advantages favored by consumers and manufacturers.LSR materials have better flow ability, easy to vulcanize, safe for human body, more environmentally friendly, high transparency, good flexibility, good waterproof performance, and higher tolerance accuracy.
