The difference between silicone strips and silicone tubes in terms of material.

Dec 10,2024


Silicone sealing strips are increasingly used in modern life, especially in buildings closely related to people's lives, such as the design of houses, commercial buildings, and windows and doors, which are crucial elements.

What we know is that traditional window and door installations are not particularly sophisticated, just simple door frames and window grids. However, with the continuous development of the social economy, people's demands are constantly increasing, and this traditional design method must be eliminated.

Silicone sealing strips for doors and windows meet people's needs. When decorating a house, installing silicone sealing strips on doors and windows can provide shock resistance and wear resistance, offering a certain level of protection, extending the lifespan of doors and windows. Moreover, high-quality door and window sealing strips have excellent sound insulation effects, protecting people's privacy. Environmentally friendly and energy-saving silicone sealing strips are non-toxic and odorless, making people feel more at ease when using them.

Not only do doors and windows need protection, but also some household appliances like refrigerators, ovens, and cabinet furniture need protection. It can reduce wear and tear, prevent water and moisture, and can be used more durably. The door and window sealing strips, refrigerator sealing strips, and other series of silicone products produced by our company meet people's needs. If you want to know more about the functions and effects of silicone sealing strips, we are very willing to help you solve these problems.

Silicone tubes and silicone strips belong to organic silicone products. They have a main chain structure based on silicon-oxygen (Si-O) bonds, with a bond energy of 82.6 kcal/mol for C-C bonds and 121 kcal/mol for Si-O bonds in organic silicone. Therefore, organic silicone products have high thermal stability, and the chemical bonds of molecules do not break or decompose under high temperatures (or radiation exposure). Silicone rubber products can withstand both high and low temperatures and can be used over a wide temperature range. Whether in terms of chemical properties or physical mechanical properties, the influence of temperature is minimal. The main chain of organic silicone is -Si-O-, making it less susceptible to degradation by ultraviolet light and ozone. Organic silicone has better thermal stability and resistance to radiation and weathering than other polymer materials. The service life of organic silicone in natural environments can reach several decades. Polysiloxane compounds are known to be among the inert compounds. They are highly resistant to biological aging, have no rejection reaction with animal bodies, and possess good anti-coagulation properties. The main chain of organic silicone is very flexible, and the intermolecular forces are much weaker than those of hydrocarbons, resulting in lower viscosity, weaker surface tension, lower surface energy, and strong film-forming ability compared to hydrocarbons of the same molecular weight. This low surface tension and low surface energy are the main reasons for its diverse applications: hydrophobicity, defoaming, foam stability, anti-adhesion, lubrication, and glossing, among other excellent functions. Silicone rubber products have outstanding electrical insulation properties, with low dielectric loss, high voltage resistance, arc resistance, corona resistance, volume resistivity, and surface resistivity, and their electrical properties are minimally affected by temperature and frequency. Therefore, they are stable electrical insulation materials widely used in the electronics and electrical industries. In addition to excellent heat resistance, organic silicone also has excellent water-repellent properties, ensuring high reliability for electrical equipment used in wet conditions.
