As a high-performance elastomer, silicone gel not only has excellent physical and chemical properties, but also shows extremely high adaptability and plasticity, bringing many conveniences and innovations to our lives.
Basic characteristics of silicone gel
Silicone gel is a gel-like substance with silicon as the main component. It is usually made by cross-linking reaction of organic silicon compounds such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and has excellent high temperature resistance, cold resistance, oxidation resistance, radiation resistance and good biocompatibility.
Wide application fields
Medical health: Silicone gel has been widely used in the medical field because of its non-toxic, odorless and good biocompatibility. From breast implants and facial fillers in plastic surgery to seals and catheter coatings of medical devices, silicone gel plays an irreplaceable role.
Electronic products: In the electronics industry, silicone gel is often used as potting materials, thermal pads and shock-proof buffer materials for electronic components. Its excellent insulation performance and good thermal stability can effectively protect the circuit from interference and damage from the external environment, while improving the reliability and service life of the product.
Daily life: From kitchen supplies such as silicone spatulas and silicone bowls, to household items such as silicone mats and silicone cup lids, to personal care products such as silicone toothbrushes and silicone facial cleansers, silicone gel has won the favor of consumers with its easy cleaning, high temperature resistance, and no odor.
Industrial manufacturing: In the industrial field, silicone gel is widely used in mold manufacturing, seal production, shock absorption and noise reduction. Silicone gel molds have the advantages of high precision, easy demoulding, and reusability, making them an ideal choice for manufacturing products with complex shapes.
