Since silicone has excellent properties, so it has a very wide range of applications. It is not only the use of special materials for aviation, cutting-edge technology, military technology, but also for the national economy, its application has expanded to: construction, electrical and electronic, textile, automobile, machinery, leather paper, chemical industry, metal and paint, medical and so on.
The main applications are as below:
1. silicone oil and its derivatives as stripping agent, damping oil, medium oil, hydraulic oil, heat transfer oil, oil diffusion pump, fire foam agent, lubricant, hydrophobic agent, paint additives, polishes, cosmetics and daily necessities additives, surface active agent, particle and fiber treatment agent, silicone grease, flocculant.
2. silicone rubber is divided into room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber and high temperature vulcanized silicone rubber.
Room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber is mainly used in: sealants, adhesives, conformal coatings, gaskets, rubber foam, molded parts, packaging materials, and electrical insulation, glazing, medical implants, surgical auxiliary materials, molding materials;
High temperature vulcanized silicone rubber is mainly used in pipes and hoses, strip, wire and cable insulation materials, surgical auxiliary materials, flame retardant rubber, penetrate the sealing material, molded parts, embossing roller, automobile ignition cable, and the spark plug cover, extrusion parts, medical implants, laminate, conductive rubber, fiber coatings, foam rubber.
3. a silicon resin is mainly used: varnish, insulating paint, molding compounds, protective coatings, packaging materials, joint coatings, pressure sensitive adhesive, resin laminate, stripping agent, adhesive, masonry waterproofing agent.
4, silane coupling agent is mainly used in paint, plastic, rubber, adhesive.
Silicone can not only be used as a basic material and structural material in some large industries, but also can be used as a supplement or auxiliary materials to share or improve the process performance of other materials.
