In modern industry and daily life, silicone rubber sheet, as a functional material, plays an indispensable role. With its unique physical and chemical properties, it is widely used in various fields, from food processing to medical devices, and even electronic appliances. So, what is the material of silicone rubber sheet and what are its characteristics?
I. Composition and Material of Silicone Rubber Sheet
To understand the essence of silicone rubber sheet, we must first start with the basic material, silicone. Silicone is a highly active adsorption material, a non-crystalline substance, and its main component is silicon dioxide, which gives it stable chemical properties and makes it non-flammable. Silicone rubber sheet is made from this silicone as the main raw material, with the addition of hardeners and fillers and other auxiliary materials, and processed through a series of procedures to form an industrial rubber sheet.
In silicone rubber sheet, silicone, as the main component, usually accounts for more than 95%, ensuring that the silicone rubber sheet has the inherent excellent properties of silicone. The addition of hardeners gives the silicone rubber sheet the necessary hardness and strength, enabling it to withstand a certain degree of pressure and wear. Fillers are used to improve certain specific properties of the silicone rubber sheet, such as increasing heat resistance, wear resistance, or reducing costs.

II. Characteristics and Advantages of Silicone Rubber Sheet
The wide application of silicone rubber sheet in many fields is mainly due to its unique physical and chemical properties.
Here are some significant characteristics and advantages of silicone rubber sheet:
1. High-temperature resistance: Silicone rubber sheet can maintain stable performance in high-temperature environments, with a high-temperature resistance of usually over 200°C, and even higher. This makes it perform well in applications that require high temperatures.
2. Chemical resistance: Silicone rubber sheet shows good resistance to most chemical substances, which gives it broad application prospects in the chemical industry and other fields.
3. Electrical insulation: Silicone rubber sheet has good electrical insulation properties, which makes it have certain application space in the electronic and electrical industry.
4. Physiological inertness: Silicone is a non-toxic and odorless material that is harmless to the human body, so silicone rubber sheet is widely used in food processing and medical devices.
5. Easy to clean: Due to the smooth surface of silicone and its resistance to oil stains, silicone rubber sheet is easy to clean and maintain, which is particularly important in applications that require cleanliness and hygiene.
III. Application Fields
Thanks to the above characteristics and advantages, silicone rubber sheet has a wide range of applications in many fields.
In the food processing industry, silicone rubber sheet is widely used to make baking trays, baking nets, steamers, and other utensils due to its high-temperature resistance and wear resistance.
In the medical device industry, silicone rubber sheet can be used to manufacture various medical products, such as surgical gaskets and infusion tubes.
In addition, in the electronic and electrical, automotive, chemical, and light industry, silicone rubber sheet is also favored for its excellent performance.
