Silicone rubber has its unique comprehensive performance, especially the property of biocompatibility make it successful use on the occasions that other rubber can not effectively work, which resolve many technical issues, and meet quite a lot demands from modern industries and daily life. Similar as other rubber material, silicone rubber can be processed to make several types of rubber products including rubber profiles, silicone rubber hoses, rubber tape, rubber roller, rubberized fabric,etc.,
(1)Application in Automobile Industry
The application of silicone rubber in the automobile industry grows rapidly. Silicone rubber, especially with various performance, has great corrosion resistance of fuel and oil, which improve the usability of automobile parts, and decrease repairing cost. Silicone rubber is also applied in the ignition wire, sparking plug cover, heater and radiator tube, muffle lining, battery terminal, and FVMQ made pumps, ect.. Along with the development of electronic electrification of automobile, room-temperature curing silicone rubber is wildly used in electronic components, encapsulants of electrical assembly, adhesive sealant of windscreen, car body and car mirror, etc.
(2)Application in Electrical and Electronic Industry
The earliest employ of silicone rubber is in the field of Electrical and electronic industry, working as insulating material with large demand. Silicone rubber is mainly applied to the applications of television anode capm, high pressure protective cover, high voltage lead wire, refrigerator defroster wire, and electrical wires and cables for power or signal transmission. Insulator made of silicone rubber will substitute ceramics and extensively use in electric transmission line, especially supertension line. Conductive silicone rubber can be used in the electric contact parts and the liquid crystal display contacts of electronic computers, telephones and other instruments. The wire and cables made from antiflaming and radiation resistant silicone rubber are wildly use in atomic power station. Silicone rubber heater band can be used for controlling the work temperature of several kinds of precision meters, oil pipelines and medical used electrical heater carpets.
The excellent property of heat-resisting washing solution make silicone rubber also usually use to make sealing parts for the pump of dish-washing machine and washer. Meanwhile, silicone rubber seals are very suitable to be used in coffee pots, Electric fryers, steam irons and other appliances. The gaskets on stereo headphone if change to use silicone rubber, can eliminate external noise, meanwhile, the soft and elastic material property make it comfortable for wearing.
