How to Test Density of Liquid Silicone
How to test the density of liquid silicone? It is recommended to find a professional organization to pay for the density data, which will be more accurate. Most liquid silicone has a density of 1.09. Liquid silicone is a new type of material made by mixing multiple materials and has a wide range of applications, so there may also be differences in the density of some materials.
If the required data is not very accurate, we can also easily calculate the density of liquid silicone through our own methods. Place a container filled with water on an electronic scale to weigh it, then take it off and immerse the object in water. Completely immerse it, take out the object, and then weigh the container and water. The difference in weight between the two times is the volume of the object. Divide the weight of the object by one to determine its density.
The above two methods need to be used according to one's actual situation, and the specific use should be consulted with the manufacturer, because there are many types of silicone, not every industry is the same product, and not every density of silicone is universal. The specific should be based on the actual use and production process, so as to find a suitable product for oneself.
There are also many misconceptions about density. For example, a common misconception we have is the mixing of liquid silicone. Many people use measuring cups to mix the ratio of liquid silicone. This method of operation is incorrect because the density of liquid silicone and curing agent is different. Such a ratio is prone to excessive or insufficient. Excessive mixing of curing agent can damage the molecular weight of silicone, leading to a decrease in the performance of liquid silicone after curing, and also causing the cured silicone to shrink easily; The correct operating method is to use an electronic scale to measure the weight ratio of liquid silicone, and such data is relatively accurate.
