What Is The Difference Between A Silicone Gasket And A Rubber Gasket?

What is the difference between a silicone gasket and a rubber gasket? In the use of silicone gaskets, our application environment is different, so for some occasions, our silicone and rubber applications are also different, and the effects and characteristics are different. Silicone products are also one of the types of rubber products. The difference between silicone and rubber is that it is toxic and non-toxic. The burning of the two silicone does not cause open flames. The smoke is white when it burns, and the black smoke when the rubber burns. The pungent is black and has a strong taste.

Nowadays, the raw materials used in the production of silicone products are made of non-toxic and environmentally-friendly synthetic rubber and natural rubber. Synthetic rubbers include neoprene, butadiene rubber, styrene butadiene rubber, and the like. The structure of the natural rubber is a high polymer, and the rubber can be quickly recovered when it is deformed by the external force, and has good chemical stability and mechanical properties. It has good flexibility and can be used in some high and low temperature resistant applications. However, rubber products are not as good for low temperature applications as silicone products. In many respects, we now choose to replace the rubber products with silicone products.

Rubber products are now commonly used in our industrial manufacturing, automotive parts and agro-industrial manufacturing, in the production process due to rubber elastic cohesion can not be worn, the product has unstable hardness shrinkage, after a period of buffering to stabilize the cohesion, so In the production, the coordination and calculation of the mold should be cautious, otherwise it is prone to bad conditions. Compared with rubber and silicone, the performance of rubber is often not comprehensive. The silicone is used in the home and is used in catering. Many friends have their needs, and rubber is a odorous and toxic substance for many friends. It is rarely used in life, so the current rubber products are basically used in some industrial manufacturing, because the price of silicone is higher than that of rubber, but in Among the same performance, rubber is also chosen.
