Will silicone products generate static electricity?
Silicone products are generally not prone to static electricity, but they may generate static electricity under certain conditions, as follows:
General situation: Silicone is a good insulator with a high surface resistance. Electrons are not easy to move freely in silicone materials. Therefore, under normal environment and use conditions, silicone products are not as easy to generate static electricity as some materials that easily gain or lose electrons (such as some chemical fiber fabrics). For example, ordinary silicone mobile phone cases, silicone kitchen utensils, etc., rarely have static electricity in daily use.
Special situation: When silicone products rub against other materials, contact and separate, or are in a dry environment, static electricity may also be generated. For example, in the dry winter, repeatedly rubbing a silicone mouse pad against the desktop, or moving silicone products quickly in a dry environment, static electricity may be generated on the surface of the silicone product, but the possibility of this kind of static electricity is relatively small, and the amount of static electricity generated is usually less than that of some materials that are prone to static electricity (such as plastics and chemical fibers).
