Frequently Asked Questions
What is silicone rubber cord?
What are the key properties and benefits of silicone rubber cord?
The benefits include high-temperature resistance, chemical resistance, biocompatibility, and food-grade compatibility.
What are the difference between rubber cord and silicone rubber cord?
Rubber cord and silicone rubber cord are both flexible materials used in various applications, but they have distinct differences:
- Material composition: Rubber cord is typically made from natural or synthetic rubber, while silicone rubber cord is made from a type of elastomer called silicone.
- Temperature resistance: Silicone rubber cord has a higher temperature resistance than rubber cord. While rubber cord can handle temperatures up to 300°F (150°C), silicone rubber cord can withstand temperatures ranging from -40°F to 752°F (-40°C to 400°C).
- Chemical resistance: Silicone rubber cord is more resistant to chemicals and oils compared to rubber cord. It's often used in applications where exposure to fuels, lubricants, or cleaning agents is expected.
- Flexibility and elasticity: Both materials are flexible and elastic, but silicone rubber cord tends to retain its shape better than rubber cord when stretched or compressed.
- UV resistance: Silicone rubber cord is more resistant to ultraviolet (UV) radiation than rubber cord, making it a popular choice for outdoor applications where UV exposure is expected.
- Cost: Generally, silicone rubber cord is more expensive than rubber cord due to its superior properties and performance.
In summary, while both materials have their uses, silicone rubber cord offers better temperature resistance, chemical resistance, flexibility, and durability compared to rubber cord.
Are there different types of silicone rubber cord?
Yes, depending on the application, there are various types of silicone rubber cord available with different properties (e.g., temperature resistance, chemical resistance).
How is silicone rubber cord typically used?
It’s often used as a sealant or gasket material for machinery and equipment, as well as for wire harnesses, connectors, and other applications requiring high-temperature resistance.
Is silicone rubber cord food-grade?
Silicone rubber cord can be used in food-grade applications, but its suitability depends on the specific requirements of your project.
