What are the advantages and disadvantages of the characteristics of organosilicon materials?

Some people say it is very good, can be used in many fields, some people say it has any shortcomings.

But many friends may not know this material very well.

Organosilicon, or polysiloxane as it is known scientifically, is an amazing material.

It offers a unique combination of chemical and mechanical properties that organic elastomers cannot match.

They are often used in seals, adhesives and moulded flexible parts.

Advantages of silicone material properties

1. Extreme temperature resistance

High and low temperature application,

Continuous +230°C (intermittent 300°C),

Under 60 ℃.

2. Excellent environmental resistance

Ozone,

UV,

General weathering (rain, snow, sleet, frost);

3. Low compression set

Good resistance to compression at high temperature,

Very suitable for sealing;

4. Low level flammable components

When exposed to flame, the elastomer is reduced to non-conductive silica fume.

5. High physiological inertia

Tasteless,

Odourless,

Non-toxic;

Disadvantages of silicone material properties

1. Poor wear resistance

If you are looking for silicone materials with good wear resistance, then xiaobian silica gel is not suitable for your material.

Car tyres or soles made of silicone, for example, are short lived

2. Bad oil/oil resistance

Silicone expands easily if exposed to oil for a period of time.

In this case, we recommend the use of fluorosiloxane because of its oil/oil resistance

What is organic silicon silicon material?

The advantages and disadvantages of the properties of organosilicon materials have been briefly summarized, which I hope will be helpful to my boss.

In a word, choosing the right elastomer or rubber is very suitable for the application, which is what elastomer needs to do.

Silicone is an amazing material if there is high temperature and ambient pressure, but as explained, it is likely to fail if oil/oil is exposed.

Therefore, selection is the key to ensure long service life.
