Basic Introduction To Silicone Rubber

Silicone rubber is an elastomer formed by adding a linear polyorganosiloxane as the base polymer (raw rubber), adding a crosslinking agent, a reinforcing filler and other compounding agents after compounding and vulcanization. Silicone rubber is divided into two categories: compounded silicone rubber and liquid silicone rubber according to its commodity form. Liquid silicone rubber is different from kneading silicone rubber. It is a self-leveling or thixotropic base material (Compound) prepared from a linear polyorganosiloxane with a moderate degree of polymerization as a base polymer with fillers, various auxiliaries and additives. . Generally, large-scale processing equipment is not required for use, and it can be extruded, injected, and coated according to the variety and application, and then vulcanized into an elastomer in the atmosphere or under heating. This book comprehensively and systematically introduces the basic knowledge of liquid silicone rubber. The contents include: base polymer and compounding agent of condensation type RTV silicone rubber; condensation type one-component RTV silicone rubber; addition type liquid silicone rubber, etc.
