For elastomer applications, Poron and silicone rubber have their own advantages. Poron is famous for its excellent cushioning and compression resistance; silicone rubber is known for its high and low temperature resistance, chemical inertness, and safe skin contact. Engineers, purchasers, and brands often struggle: Which elastic material is more suitable…

Silicone elastomers have excellent heat resistance, anti-aging and safety, and are widely used in medical, maternal and child, baking, industrial seals and other fields. This article will combine industry data to comprehensively analyze the advantages and disadvantages of silicone elastomers to help designers, purchasers and brands accurately locate material selection…

The price of silicone products is influenced by three key factors: raw materials, production process, and certification. Different silicone materials, production processes, and certification standards significantly impact the selling price. Silicone has long been considered a high-performance material in the emerging materials sector. It is widely used in medical, baby…

Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is a liquid silicone material characterized by excellent fluidity, rapid vulcanization, and environmental safety. It has become a high-end elastic material that has garnered significant attention in recent years. Compared to traditional thermoset or thermoplastic rubbers, LSR boasts superior biocompatibility, a wide temperature range, highly automated…

TPE, TPR (collectively, thermoplastic rubber), and silicone—two elastic materials—are widely used in consumer electronics, automotive parts, kitchenware, medical care, and other fields. However, there are significant differences between the two in terms of thermal stability, processing, recycling performance, and safety. Precisely selecting materials based on application scenarios is crucial for…

In the field of rubber and silicone elastic materials, the concept of “melting point” is often misused, because both are thermosetting or thermoplastic materials, their thermal properties are very different. This article starts with the issue of “rubber melting point” and helps engineers, buyers and brands to scientifically understand thermal…

Silicone is widely used in the fields of medical, maternal and child care, kitchenware, electronics, cosmetics, skin care, outdoor sports, etc. due to its high temperature resistance, chemical inertness and skin affinity. However, despite being considered a hypoallergenic material, some people still experience skin irritation or systemic reactions, which has…

Silicone body scrubbers have quickly gained popularity in the bathing industry due to their easy-to-clean, durable, and antibacterial properties, while traditional loofahs have long been considered to provide stronger exfoliation effects. Which one is more suitable for daily cleaning? This article compares and analyzes them from multiple dimensions, including material…

In modern homes, offices and kitchens, silicone coasters and Silicone Trivets have become basic and frequently used kitchen and living accessories. Although they are made of the same material and are equally common, they have slightly different uses and different functions: coasters are anti-condensation and anti-slip; Silicone Trivets are responsible…

As an industry expert with 24 years of experience in the silicone products industry, I’ve encountered many engineers, designers, and purchasing professionals in industries like medical, automotive, consumer electronics, and maternity products who are increasingly choosing silicone materials to manufacture their products.

As the catering service industry continues to improve its requirements for hygiene, efficiency, and aesthetics, silicone products are gradually becoming an important substitute for kitchen and dining table equipment in catering and reception venues such as hotels, restaurants, and resorts due to their high temperature resistance, anti-slip, safety, and environmental…

Silicone rubber is widely used in many high-end fields such as kitchenware, seals, medical devices, and baby products. One of Its key performances comes from the sophisticated formula mixing process. By optimizing the mixing equipment, process, temperature and sequence, the physical properties, stability and surface quality of the material can…

Silicone rubber and EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer Rubber) are both elastomers widely used in the automotive, construction, electronics, appliance, food and medical, and consumer goods industries. However, due to their different molecular structures, they exhibit significant differences in temperature resistance, aging resistance, chemical resistance, flexibility, and application areas. They…

In modern manufacturing, material selection determines a product’s lifespan and market competitiveness. Many people often confuse “elastomer” and “silicone,” even considering them synonymous. While silicone is a type of elastomer, it differs fundamentally from traditional thermoplastic elastomers (TPE, TPR, TPU, etc.). This article delves into the essential differences, advantages and…
