What is the difference between rubber and silicone in insulated cables?
We all know that there is a difference between rubber and silica gel, but many people can't answer. Today, Qingzhou cable manufacturer will give you a detailed introduction.
The rubber in the insulated cable material is a high elastic polymer compound. Including non vulcanized and vulcanized varieties. It can be divided into natural rubber and synthetic rubber. Natural rubber is processed from latex obtained from rubber plants. Synthetic rubber is prepared by polymerization or polycondensation of monomers. Unvulcanized rubber is commonly known as raw rubber or raw rubber. Vulcanized rubber is called vulcanized rubber, commonly known as mature rubber or rubber. It is widely used in manufacturing tyres, rubber hoses, adhesive tapes, insulating materials, rubber shoes, and other rubber products.
Silica gel is a kind of silicone rubber, which belongs to one component room temperature vulcanized liquid rubber. Once exposed to the air, the silane monomer will condense to form a network structure. The system is cross-linked, can not melt and dissolve, and is elastic, forming a rubber colloidal state, and bonding the object at the same time. Its thermal conductivity is slightly higher than that of ordinary rubber. Once cured, it is difficult to separate the bonded objects.
Silicone swimming cap is mainly made of high-grade silicone. It has a soft feel, strong elongation and is very durable.
