Do you know the difference between liquid silicone and silicone?

In this colorful world, each material has its own unique flavor and use. Liquid silicone and silica gel, although they have similar names, they have completely different characters and uses. They are like two artists with different styles, each with their own talents in the world of materials.

Liquid silicone, that's a really fascinating material. Like running water, it has excellent fluidity and can be easily transformed into various shapes. Every time I see those baby products made of liquid silicone, such as pacifiers and bottles, I feel a sense of tenderness. These products are soft and safe, just like a mother's caress, giving the baby the most intimate care. The liquid silicone in medical supplies guards people's health with its excellent transparency, tear strength and resilience.

In contrast, silicone is more like a stable elder. It has an open porous structure, adsorption capacity is very strong, like a good listening friend, always can absorb all your troubles. In the fields of gas drying and gas absorption, silica gel plays a pivotal role. In the laboratory, silica gel is an indispensable chromatographic analysis tool, which has won the favor of scientists with its chemical stability and non-combustion characteristics.

I've seen the magic of liquid silicone before. In the factory, workers inject liquid silicone into the mold, and within a few minutes, a delicate silicone product is presented in front of our eyes. The characteristics of fast vulcanization and high production efficiency make liquid silicone unique in the manufacturing industry. The processing process of silicone is more like a chemical reaction dance, after a series of fine processing, and finally present the shape we need.

Although the two materials are very different, they both shine in their respective fields. Liquid silicone has entered thousands of households with its characteristics of good mobility, environmental protection and safety; Silica gel occupies a place in industrial production for its strong adsorption capacity and chemical stability.
