Phenyl silicone rubber, a specialty silicone rubber with part of the methyl groups replaced by phenyl groups, is leading a new round of innovation in silicone rubber materials with its unique low-temperature resistance and excellent physical and mechanical properties. In extremely cold environments, phenyl silicone rubber can maintain good elasticity and sealing performance, making it an ideal choice for high-end applications such as spacecraft external coatings and low-temperature experimental equipment seals.
The low-temperature resistance of phenyl silicone rubber is attributed to the introduction of phenyl groups into its molecular chains, which disrupts the regularity of the dimethylsiloxane structure and lowers the crystallization temperature and glass transition temperature of the rubber. At the same time, the introduction of phenyl groups also enhances the radiation resistance and antioxidant properties of the rubber, enabling it to maintain stable performance in extreme environments such as space exploration and nuclear energy utilization. In addition, phenyl silicone rubber has good processing performance and plasticity, making it easy to manufacture seals, gaskets, pipes, and other products of various shapes and sizes.
