The core competitiveness of halogen-free flame-retardant silicone rubber stems from its unique material formulation and flame-retardant mechanism. Unlike traditional halogen-containing flame-retardant materials, this product utilizes a halogen-free flame-retardant system, achieving efficient flame retardancy through the deep integration of environmentally friendly flame retardants with the silicone rubber base material. This process avoids the generation of toxic and harmful gases and corrosive fumes during combustion.The flame-retardant principle lies in the formation of a dense carbonized layer on the material's surface when exposed to fire. This layer effectively isolates oxygen and heat transfer, inhibiting flame spread and achieving rapid self-extinguishing after the removal of the open flame. According to authoritative testing, a 2 mm thick sample can consistently achieve the UL94V-0 flame-retardant rating. This key indicator means that in vertical burning tests, the flame duration is extremely short, and there are no dripping materials that could ignite flammable substances below, fully meeting the requirements for various high-safety applications.
High strength is another major highlight of halogen-free flame-retardant silicone rubber. Silicone rubber itself possesses excellent elasticity and mechanical properties. Through special formula optimization, this product significantly improves its mechanical strength while maintaining its softness and toughness. It can withstand external forces such as stretching, compression, and friction during long-term use, and is less prone to breakage or deformation. This characteristic allows it to maintain stable performance even under complex working conditions. Whether used for sealing components inside electronic devices or as cushioning parts in industrial machinery, its excellent structural stability extends product lifespan and reduces maintenance costs.
The wide range of processing compatibility is a key reason why halogen-free flame-retardant silicone rubber has gained market favor. This product can be flexibly adapted to both compression molding and extrusion, the two main processing methods, meeting the production needs of different types of flame-retardant components. Compression molding is suitable for mass production of complex, high-precision shaped parts, such as flame-retardant protective covers for electronic components and sealing gaskets for equipment interfaces; while extrusion is suitable for the continuous production of long products such as tubes and profiles, such as cable protection sleeves and flame-retardant sealing strips.Both processes enable efficient mass production, and the materials exhibit good flowability and excellent molding characteristics during processing, effectively reducing the scrap rate in the production process. This provides strong support for companies to improve production efficiency and control costs.
In today's increasingly stringent environmental and safety requirements, the environmental advantages of halogen-free flame-retardant silicone rubber are particularly prominent. The product does not contain harmful substances such as halogens and heavy metals, and does not cause environmental pollution during production and use. It releases no toxic gases when burned, protecting the health of operators and reducing secondary damage in fire accidents. This environmentally friendly characteristic allows it to meet international environmental standards such as EU RoHS and REACH, clearing obstacles for product export to overseas markets. It also aligns with China's "dual carbon" goals and green development philosophy, becoming an important material support for companies to achieve sustainable development.
It is important to note that the application of halogen-free flame-retardant silicone rubber needs to be considered in conjunction with the specific heat resistance requirements of the application. Due to variations in temperature environments across different industries and operating conditions, it is recommended that targeted testing and evaluation be conducted based on actual heat resistance needs before formal implementation. This ensures that the material performance is highly compatible with the operating environment, achieving optimal results. Currently, this product has been widely used in various fields, including electronics, automotive manufacturing, rail transportation, and construction materials, for the production of flame-retardant seals, sheaths, gaskets, and other components, providing a robust protective barrier for the safe operation of equipment.
