what are the differences between silicone products and rubber products

    From the material point of view, the silicone is a kind of rubber, so it is usually referred to as silicone rubber products, but there are many differences between silicone products and rubber products, the purpose of them are not the same. However, from the technical point of view, the processing equipment is basically the same.

1.Silicone products

Comparison of the characteristics of the two materials,silicone is liquid glue that a single component room temperature vulcanized.Once it's exposed to the air,silane monomer occurred condensation to form network structure, the system can crosslink, dissolution and melting, elastic, and adhesion objects. Its thermal conductivity is slightly higher than the general rubber,it is difficult to separate the object once it's cured.So the silicone products are produced using these characteristics,such as car silicone accessories,silicone water bottle and so on.

2.Rubber products

Rubber products is a highly elastic polymer. Including non-vulcanized and vulcanized varieties. In terms of structure, it can be divided into two categories: natural rubber and synthetic rubber. Natural rubber is made of latex from rubber plants, synthetic rubber products are produced by polymerization or condensation of monomers.Non-vulcanized rubber commonly known as raw rubber products or raw rubber. However,the vulcanized rubber products known as vulcanized rubber products, commonly known as vulcanized rubber products.They are widely used sealing ring, the rubber mat, and other rubber products.

       In conclusion,you're clear about the differences between silicone products and rubber products.Both products have a large market,after understanding these the consumers will purchase more suitable products for themselves,and rubber products and silicone products manufacturer will produce the best products for consumers according to market research.
