On the market, there are more and more products about foamed silicone, and its application range is becoming more and more extensive, but there are many customers who do not understand the difference between foamed silicone and silicone. Today, I will learn about it with you.
Foamed silicone, also known as addition molding silica gel, is a two-component heated vulcanized silicone rubber, composed of silica gel and curing agent at 1:1, white or skin-colored oily liquid, vulcanized to become a soft elastic material, foaming volume is the original 3-4 accompaniment. Liquid foamed silicone is an environmentally friendly material that has passed SGS environmental protection and non-toxic certification. It has excellent electrical properties and chemical stability, water resistance, weather aging resistance, non-toxic and tasteless, low linear shrinkage, and easy operation. In the use of foamed silicone, the foam pore size is small, uniform and delicate; Light weight, elasticity and good hand feel; There is no migration.
The main component of silica gel is silica, which is chemically stable and does not burn. It has a strong adsorption capacity and can have a drying effect on human skin, so work clothes should be worn when operating. If silicone gets into the eye, rinse with plenty of water and seek medical treatment as soon as possible. At the same time, blue silica gel contains a small amount of cobalt chloride, which is toxic, and should be avoided from contact with food and inhaled into the mouth.
