Physical Properties of Anti-Sublimation Silicone
1. High Elasticity
Anti-sublimation silicone has high elasticity, which allows it to adapt to various shapes and sizes of objects and quickly return to its original form after being subjected to external forces.
2. High Temperature Resistance
Anti-sublimation silicone remains stable in high-temperature environments, making it resistant to deformation or melting. This heat resistance allows it to be used in high-temperature processes such as heat transfer and heat pressing without being damaged or compromising the quality of the pattern.
3. High Pressure Resistance
Anti-sublimation silicone maintains its original physical and chemical properties under high-pressure conditions, making it resistant to cracking or leakage. This makes it suitable for applications requiring high pressure, such as high-pressure pipelines and seals.
4. Wear Resistance
Anti-sublimation silicone has excellent wear resistance, making it resistant to abrasion and scratching. This ensures that printed patterns remain clear and intact over long-term use.
5. Water and Oil Resistance
Anti-sublimation silicone is both water-resistant and oil-resistant, allowing it to maintain stable performance in humid or oily environments and resist moisture or grease infiltration.
6. Color Stability
Anti-sublimation silicone is able to maintain color stability, resisting color changes under high temperatures and high pressure. This makes it highly effective in applications where vibrant and clear colors are required.
7. Density and Hardness
Density: The density of silicone generally ranges from 1.02 to 1.03, with 1.03 being commonly used for calculation.
Hardness: The hardness of silicone generally ranges from 20 to 80 Shore A. The hardness refers to its elasticity and softness; higher hardness makes the silicone more resistant to stretching but more resistant to wear. Typically, more complex printing patterns require silicone with higher hardness.
8. Strength Characteristics
Tensile Strength: The tensile strength of silicone typically ranges from 5 to 15 MPa.
Compressive Strength: The compressive strength of silicone generally ranges from 10 to 25 MPa.
Fatigue Strength: The fatigue strength of silicone usually ranges from 0.1 to 1 MPa.
Yield Strength: The yield strength of silicone typically ranges from 5 to 10 MPa.
