Rubber products

 

From a chemical point of view, silicone products are liquid rubber products made of single-component room temperature vulcanization, and are elastomeric materials using silicone as raw materials. Rubber products are divided into natural rubber and synthetic rubber. Natural rubber is a structural polymer of isoprene, which is processed and produced from the latex of rubber plants. Synthetic rubber has a fast recovery ability, and can quickly restore its shape even if it is deformed by external forces. Because of its good physical properties, synthetic rubber is often used in daily life to make tires, rubber tubes, rubber seals, rubber belt insulation materials, etc.


Compared with silicone products, the toughness, wear resistance, conductivity, and corrosion resistance of rubber products are slightly better than those of silicone products. Therefore, rubber products are generally used on larger machines and industrial equipment; compared with rubber products, silicone products are more common in daily life. Silicone products have gradually replaced rubber products, because silicone products are not only non-toxic, harmless, colorless and odorless, but also environmentally friendly and soft, while rubber products have some odor and color, but rubber products are cheaper;

 

Silicone products

 

In today's daily life, silicone products are more commonly used, and the scope of application of silicone products is also relatively wide. Our food, accommodation, transportation and medical treatment are all involved. In addition, when rubber products are burned, the smoke emitted is black, while silicone products emit white smoke.
