With the advancement of technology and the development of society, people's daily lives have become inseparable from...Plastic and Rubber ProductsIt's easy to confuse the two industries for those who are professionally involved in them.
Initially, let's discuss the difference between silicone plastic materials and rubber. Simply put, if plastic deforms under external force, it is difficult to return to its original shape. In contrast, rubber easily regains its original state. For example, when a rubber O-ring is stretched, it will immediately return to its original shape. However, if a plastic tent cover deforms, it will not revert to its original condition.
In technical terms, deformation in plastic under external forces is known as plastic deformation, whereas, in O-rings, deformation is elastic. This distinction is crucial and primarily due to the differences in their molecular structures. Plastic typically has an elasticity of less than one percent, whereas rubber can often exceed one thousand percent.
Next, there's the difference in the liquid silicone production process.Rubber ProductsAn additional vulcanization process has been introduced, making the silicone seal ring possess an open, porous structure that can adsorb many substances, making it an excellent desiccant, adsorbent, and catalyst carrier. The adsorption of silicone primarily occurs through physical adsorption on silicone products, which can be regenerated and reused. By adding acid to a solution of alkali metal silicates (such as sodium silicate), it can be acidified, then a certain amount of electrolyte is stirred in to produce silica gel. Alternatively, adding acid or ammonium salts to a more concentrated sodium silicate solution can also yield silica gel.
