The fundamental difference between liquid silicone and solid silicone

Hits: 204 img

Liquid silicone is a relatively solid high-temperature vulcanized silicone rubber, which is a liquid rubber with good flowability, fast vulcanization, more safety and environmental protection, and can fully meet food grade requirements.

Solid silica gel is a cellular type of polymer elastic material that has characteristics such as high temperature resistance, cold resistance, solvent resistance, climbing resistance, adhesive resistance, electrical insulation, and chemical properties, and has a wide range of applications.

As the name suggests, liquid silicone is in a liquid state and has fluidity. Solid silicone is solid and has no fluidity.
In terms of molding method, liquid silicone is injection molded liquid silicone rubber (LSR): its full name is injection molded liquid silicone rubber, and the vulcanization equipment is an injection molding machine.

The injection molding machine has many advantages, such as a very simple process flow (without the need for manual processes such as batching, mixing, cutting, and placement in the high-temperature adhesive process, only one worker is required to pick up the product), high product accuracy (all manual procedures before molding are replaced by machines), high output (A/B adhesive is mixed at a certain temperature for a few seconds to form), labor saving, electricity saving, and material saving, and can produce all products produced with high-temperature adhesive.

Solid silicone rubber molding is a process in which the raw material is solid blocks. After being mixed by a mixer, the cutting machine cuts the product into a suitable size and thickness for the mold, which is then placed in the mold and molded at a certain temperature using a pressure forming machine. When demolding, it is similar to plastic products and also requires cleaning the mold.
