Is it harmful for silicone products to have an odor?

Hits: 30 img

The basic structural unit of organic silicone products is composed of silicon oxygen links, and the side chains are connected to various other organic groups through silicon atoms. Therefore, in the structure of organic silicon products, there are both "organic groups" and "inorganic structures". This special composition and molecular structure combine the characteristics of organic matter with the functions of inorganic matter. Compared with other polymer materials, the most prominent performance of silicone products is the following functions:

Temperature resistance characteristics
Silicone products have a silicon oxygen (Si O) bond as the main chain structure. The bond energy of the C-C bond is 82.6 kcal/mole, and the bond energy of the Si O bond in organic silicon is 121 kcal/mole. Therefore, the thermal stability of organic silicon is high, and the chemical bonds of molecules continue to crack and do not decompose at high temperatures (or radiation exposure). Silicone rubber products are not only resistant to high temperatures, but also to low temperatures, and can be used over a wide temperature range. Both chemical and physical mechanical properties have little variation with temperature.

Weather resistance
The main chain of silicone is - Si O -, without double bonds, so it is not easily decomposed by ultraviolet light and ozone. It has better thermal stability, radiation resistance, and weather resistance than other polymer materials. So many silicone components and silicone electronic accessories can have a lifespan of several decades in natural environments.

Electrical insulation performance
Silicone products all have good electrical insulation performance, and their dielectric loss, voltage resistance, arc resistance, corona resistance, volume resistance coefficient, and surface resistance coefficient are among the top in insulation materials. Moreover, their electrical performance is little affected by temperature and frequency. Therefore, they are a stable electrical insulation material widely used in the electronic and electrical industries. Organic silicon not only has excellent heat resistance, but also excellent water repellency, which ensures high reliability of electrical equipment when used under wet conditions.
