The difference between silicone gel and silica gel

The main differences between silicone gel and silicone gel are in their composition and usage. Here is a detailed introduction to the two gels:

Composition: Silicone gel is an inorganic silicon dioxide material consisting of a molecular network of silicon dioxide; silicone gel is an organosilicon polymer containing Si-O-Si bonds, with organic groups attached to silicon atoms. Common ingredients in silicone gel include sodium hyaluronate and medical silicone, while silicone gel is mainly composed of medical silicone.

Usage: Silicone gel is widely used in desiccants, adsorbents, thermal insulation materials, and other fields, with excellent adsorption, chemical stability, and optical transparency; silicone gel is commonly used in sealing, filling, and coating, as well as in thermal stabilizers and lubricants, with high temperature stability, chemical stability, and resistance to aging.

Additionally, silicone gel and silicone gel have different applications in the medical field. Silicone gel ointments are typically used for external treatment of skin itching, burns, sunburns, etc., while silicone gel is used for various wound dressings in the medical field, such as post-operative incisions, burns, ulcers, etc.
