Practical Solutions for Improving Silicone Wear Resistance
Selecting a high-hardness grade: Prefer silicone with a Shore A of 60 or higher. This is suitable for applications requiring high wear resistance (e.g., kitchenware seals).
Customized Modified Silicone: Enhance wear resistance by adding reinforcing fillers (e.g., carbon black, glass fiber) or by blending and modifying the silicone (e.g., wear-resistant gaskets in industrial equipment).
Optimizing the operating environment: Avoid prolonged contact between silicone and rough surfaces or sharp objects, and reduce high-load friction (e.g., using grease in mechanical transmissions).
