Silicone is widely used in the market due to its non release of toxic substances, soft and comfortable touch, and good physical and chemical properties that can withstand high and low temperatures (-60c~+300c). There are few other polymers that can compete with it. A strong and powerful elastic material that surpasses rubber in terms of sealing, excellent electrical insulation, and resistance to chemicals, fuels, oil, and water, making it an excellent material for dealing with adverse environments.

In industry, such as oil seals, keyboard keys, electrical insulation materials, automotive parts, and daily necessities such as pacifiers, artificial tubes, respirators, frog mirrors, leather shoes and shoe liners, food containers, etc., silicone can be distinguished between solid and liquid states. The former is processed by hot pressing transfer, while the latter is mainly made by injection molding. Although the liquid state has higher equipment investment and raw material costs, its production speed is fast, processing degree is low, and waste is less. Observing these factors, the use of liquid silicone injection molding in the pursuit of precision, speed, and automation in the injection molding production industry is bound to be the future trend.

The difference between liquid silicone and solid silicone!
As for the raw materials, it can be seen that one is solid and the other is liquid. Now let's talk about the difference between two materials:
1. Appearance of liquid silicone and solid:
(1) As the name suggests, liquid silicone is in a liquid state and has fluidity
(2) Solid silicone gel is in a solid state and has no fluidity!

2. Application areas of liquid silicone and solid silicone:
(1) Liquid silicone is generally used in baby products, kitchen supplies, and medical supplies, and can directly come into contact with food and the human body
(2) Solid silicone is generally used in daily necessities, industrial miscellaneous items, and automotive parts, with a wide range of applications
