How is High Resilience Silicone's high resilience achieved?
Publish Time: 2024-10-29
The high resilience of High Resilience Silicone is achieved through a combination of factors, including its material composition, vulcanization process, and formula design.First of all, from the perspective of material composition, high resilience silicone is mainly composed of a silicone rubber main chain and specific organic groups. Among them, the silicone rubber main chain is composed of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms, and has a low intermolecular attraction, which makes the silicone rubber itself have good flexibility. At the same time, by introducing specific organic groups (such as methyl, vinyl, etc.), the physical and chemical properties of silicone rubber can be further adjusted to meet the requirements of high resilience.Secondly, the vulcanization process also plays a vital role in the high resilience of high resilience silicone. During the vulcanization process, a cross-linked structure is formed between silicone rubber molecules, which can give silicone rubber higher strength and stability. However, excessive vulcanization will cause silicone rubber to become hard and brittle, thereby losing its high resilience. Therefore, in the production process of high resilience silicone, the vulcanization conditions need to be strictly controlled to ensure that the degree of cross-linking between silicone rubber molecules is moderate, so as to achieve the best high resilience.In addition, formula design is also one of the key factors in achieving high resilience performance. In the formula of high resilience silicone, an appropriate amount of plasticizer, structure control agent and other additives are usually added to improve the processing performance and physical properties of silicone rubber. However, the amount of these additives needs to be strictly controlled to avoid negative effects on the high resilience performance of silicone rubber. For example, too much plasticizer or structure control agent will cause the resilience of silicone rubber to decrease. Therefore, when designing the formula, it is necessary to find the best balance point of various additives to ensure that high resilience silicone has excellent high resilience performance.The high resilience performance of High Resilience Silicone is achieved through many factors such as its material composition, vulcanization process and formula design. These factors are interrelated and influence each other, and together constitute the unique physical and chemical properties of high resilience silicone.
