Silicone in the current market demand, wide application areas, can be said to have been involved in our life method face, the following Cushwa electronics to introduce you to the application of silicone in some industry areas:.

A, electronics, electrical industry

Silicone as an insulating material in the electronics and electrical industry is one of the earliest use and demand for a large number of fields. Silicone is mainly used for TV anode cover, high voltage protection cover, high voltage lead wire, refrigerator defroster wire, power or signal transmission with wire and cable, etc. Insulators made of silicone will replace ceramic products widely used in transmission lines, especially ultra-high voltage lines. Conductive silica gel is used for the electric contact parts of electronic computers, telephones and other instruments and liquid crystal display contact parts. Flame retardant and radiation resistant silicone manufactured wires and cables are widely used in atomic power stations. Silicone heating sheet and heating tape are used to control the working temperature of many kinds of precision instruments and oil pipelines, and are used as heating blankets for physical therapy heaters in medical treatment. Room temperature curing silica gel can be used as waterproof, moisture-proof and shockproof potting materials.

Second, the construction industry

Silicone rubber has good weather resistance and constructability, and is widely used as a bonding sealant in the construction industry, surpassing other types of sealants. In recent years, and developed a low modulus high elongation type two-component sealant, which is used for joints moving large precast concrete and curtain walls and other large components. Room temperature curing silicone is also used for sealing asbestos cement board joints, bathroom tile joints and toiletries. As the price of rubber decreases in the future, the range of applications will be further expanded, such as replacing asphalt and neoprene in the application of road joints. High-temperature curing silicone sponge strips are used as sealing inserts for windows and doors of buildings.

Third, the automotive industry
       The application of silicone in the automotive industry is growing rapidly. Silicone (especially silicone with various characteristics) can resist the erosion of fuel and lubricating oil, improve the performance of various parts of the car and reduce maintenance costs. It can be used for automobile ignition wire, spark plug protection cover, heating and radiator hoses, muffler lining, battery connectors and fuel pumps made of fluorosilicone. With the development of vehicle electrification, room temperature curing silica gel is widely used for electronic parts, electrical assembly potting glue, windshield, car body around the seal and reflective mirror and other places of adhesive sealant.

IV. Other fields

In addition to the various applications mentioned above, silicone has seen a marked increase in applications in the fields of aerospace, medical, textile, printing, machinery, plastics, chemicals, paper and food and make-up. Typical products are rollers made of silicone, used as heat setting, embossing, calendering of fabrics and plastics and fixing of photocopiers.
