Characteristics of Silicone Stoppers
- Wide Temperature Range: Silicone stoppers can withstand extreme temperatures, ranging from -40 to 220°C, and some special formulations can even withstand temperatures up to 300°C or higher.
- Chemical Resistance: Silicone is resistant to a variety of chemicals such as water, acids, bases, salts, etc., allowing it to maintain stable performance in environments with strong chemical corrosion.
- Excellent Elasticity and Recovery: Silicone sealing parts have good elasticity and very low permanent compression deformation, allowing them to quickly return to their original shape even after long-term compression.
- Good Electrical Insulation: Silicone material itself is an excellent insulator and is widely used in electrical and electronic fields to provide good electrical insulation protection.
- Excellent Air and Liquid Tightness: Silicone sealing parts provide excellent air and liquid tightness, widely used in waterproof, dustproof, and leak-proof applications.
- Biocompatibility: Medical silicone sealing parts meet strict biocompatibility standards and can be used in medical implants and medical devices.
- Weather Resistance: Silicone sealing parts have strong resistance to ultraviolet rays, ozone, and oxidants, making them suitable for long-term use in outdoor and harsh environments.
Uses of Silicone Stoppers
Silicone stoppers are mainly used to protect bolt columns and bolt holes from damage or contamination during processes such as powder spraying, painting, oil spraying, electroplating, and electrophoresis; they prevent paint and chemical liquid agents from penetrating, and also have the functions of shock absorption, stability, and anti-slip. In addition, silicone stoppers are widely used in various manufacturing industries such as machinery, electronics, audio-visual equipment, lighting, sports, medical equipment, toys, and furniture.
