Silicone rubber products come in a wide variety of materials, and their physical properties are also different. So, when developing and designing silicone rubber products, how can we correctly choose an appropriate silicone rubber material? If you want to know the answer, let's continue reading together!
First, before selecting the materials, we need to clearly understand the specific usage environment of the product. This is extremely important. We must figure out the objects that the silicone rubber products must come into contact with during operation, including liquids, gases, solids, and various chemical agents. Some materials, such as EPDM material, have very poor oil (gasoline/机油) resistance. If this material is chosen, it must not come into contact with oil (gasoline/机油)， otherwise it will cause problems with the product， such as swelling or cracking. Secondly， the working temperature of the product. The lowest to highest limit temperature that the material can withstand. Some sealing products also need to consider the material's compressive permanent deformation， whether it is dynamic sealing or static sealing. If it is dynamic sealing， the requirements for the material itself will be higher， and it needs to have certain wear resistance.
Then there is the cost factor of the materials. Under the same usage conditions, we also need to consider the cost factor of the materials. It's not true that more expensive materials are necessarily better. We must choose practical and suitable materials. Some materials have a wide price fluctuation range and the supply is unstable, which are also things that need to be noted.
