Silicone Knowledge - Application and Sustainability of Silicone Rubber
Silicone rubber has unique comprehensive properties, especially the biocompatibility of silicone rubber is a key characteristic. It has been successfully used in occasions where other rubbers are ineffective, solved many technical problems, and met the needs of modern industry and society. various needs of daily life. Like other rubbers, silicone rubber can be processed into various profiles, rubber hoses, rubber strips, rubber rollers, rubber cloths and other products; room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber can be used for large-scale construction on site and is easy to use. In terms of sustainability, silicone rubber has many excellent properties, but its price is relatively high. Therefore, the recycling of waste rubber has economic significance for saving raw materials and reducing production costs. The silicone rubber regeneration process includes selection, dicing, cracking, refining and batching. That is, the waste rubber is first cleaned to remove garbage and impurities, then selected and classified, cut into small pieces, and sent to cracking. There are many cracking methods, including mechanical rolling cracking, direct steam thermal cracking, dry thermal cracking and chemical cracking.
