Silicone is an important material widely used in various industries

Silicone is an important material widely used in various industries, with a wide variety of types and applications. Here are some industry knowledge about silicone:
Category:
According to the type of molecular chain functional groups, silica gel can be divided into methyl based organic silica gel and phenyl based organic silica gel. Methyl based organic silicone is commonly used in the LED optoelectronic market, while phenyl based organic silicone is often used in high demand fields due to its high cost. ‌
By application field, silicone includes organic silicone for LED bead packaging and silicone for LED application product encapsulation. The former is used for lens filling and solidification, while the latter has a lower price and is mainly used for waterproofing. ‌
According to the vulcanization conditions, silicone can be divided into high-temperature vulcanization type and room temperature vulcanization type. Room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber can be divided into condensation type and addition type according to its vulcanization mechanism, and can be divided into two-component and single component types according to packaging methods. ‌
Performance characteristics:
Silicone has excellent electrical insulation properties and chemical stability, and can maintain its performance over a wide temperature range. ‌
The physical properties such as hardness, tensile strength, and tear strength of silicone can be adjusted according to specific application requirements. ‌
Purpose:
In the electronics industry, silicone is used for sealing electronic products, serving functions such as sealing, waterproofing, dust prevention, thermal conductivity, shock resistance, and insulation. ‌
In the medical field, silicone is used to make medical devices and human implants, such as catheters, prosthetics, etc., because it is non-toxic, non irritating, and has good biocompatibility. ‌
In the construction and automotive industries, silicone is used for sealing, waterproofing, and sound insulation. ‌
In terms of daily necessities, silicone can be used to make kitchen supplies, baby products, etc., because it is non-toxic, durable, and easy to clean. ‌
Attention:
Silicone should be avoided from direct contact with the skin during operation, especially on skin with wounds or inflammation. ‌
When silicone enters the eyes, immediately rinse with plenty of water and seek medical help. ‌
Some types of silicone, such as blue silicone (containing cobalt chloride), should be avoided from contact with food to prevent poisoning. ‌
In short, silicone plays an important role in various industries due to its unique properties and wide range of applications
