The use of silicone O-rings is a very important part of the production and processing of many products. Whether it is large-scale mechanical production or the processing of small items in daily life, silicone O-rings have a wide range of applications, and therefore are very popular in the market. Important attention.
Silicone O-ring is a type of sealing ring. Among sealing rings, there are many different types and categories produced from different materials, and silicone O-ring is one of the most widely used ones. Most of the discussions about silicone o-rings focus on the selection of materials. So what are the characteristics of the silicone used in silicone o-rings?
1. Silicone has very good water resistance and sealing properties, is resistant to cold and hot water, and is resistant to environmental aging;
2. Excellent high and low temperature performance and anti-oxidation performance, and the consistency changes little with temperature;
3. Good oil resistance, corrosion resistance and resistance to most chemicals, long service life;
4. Excellent adhesion and lubricity, well compatible with most plastics and elastomers.
The application advantages of silicone O-rings are obvious, but if you want the silicone O-rings to fully exert their characteristics, you should also pay more attention to the quality inspection when purchasing silicone O-rings, especially phenomena such as flash. Be careful not to cause defects in the product, which may affect subsequent production and processing.
