What Is The Difference Between Silicone Gasket And Rubber Gasket?

The application environment is different, the application of silicone and rubber are also different, and the effects and characteristics are also different. Silicone products are also one of the types of rubber products. The difference between silicone and rubber is mainly in toxic and non-toxic applications. The burning of silicone will not cause an open flame. The smoke is white when it is burning, and the black smoke is burning when the rubber is burning Strong pungent smell.

Most of the raw materials used in the production of silicone products are non-toxic and environmentally friendly synthetic rubber and natural rubber. Synthetic rubbers include neoprene, butadiene rubber, and styrene-butadiene rubber. The structure of natural rubber is high polymer. When the rubber is deformed by external force, it can quickly recover and have good chemical stability and mechanical properties. It has good flexibility and can be used in some high and low temperature occasions, and the application of rubber products in low temperature environment is not as stable as silicone products. Therefore, in many aspects, we also choose to use silicone materials instead of rubber materials.

At present, rubber products are often used in industrial manufacturing, such as rubber auto parts. In the agro-industrial manufacturing industry, because the elastic elastic cohesion cannot be worn away during the production process, the product will have unstable hardness shrinkage. After a period of buffering, the cohesion can be stabilized, so the design and calculation of the mold during production must be careful Be cautious, otherwise it is easy to produce bad products. Compared with rubber and silicone, the performance of rubber is often not as comprehensive as silicone products. Silica gel is widely used in households, food, and medical fields due to its non-toxic and odorless nature. Rubber has odor and contains toxic substances. Therefore, it is rarely used in people's daily life, and is basically used in some industrial manufacturing. However, the price of silicone is relatively high compared to rubber. In the case of meeting the requirements of the use scenario, rubber materials will still be selected.
