What is conductive silicone rubber?

Conductive silicone rubber

It is made of silicone rubber as base rubber, adding conductive filler and crosslinking agent. The commonly used rubber is methyl vinyl silicone rubber. The commonly used conductive fillers include acetylene carbon black, carbon fiber, superconducting carbon black, graphite, copper powder, silver powder, aluminum powder and zinc powder.

Compared with ordinary silicone rubber, conductive silicone rubber has the advantages of small volume resistivity, low hardness, high and low temperature resistance, aging resistance and good processing performance. It is especially suitable for manufacturing conductive silicone rubber products with good conductivity, complex shape and fine structure. According to the varieties and processing methods of base rubber, it can be made into high-temperature vulcanized conductive silicone rubber and room temperature vulcanized conductive silicone rubber, as well as pressure-sensitive conductive silicone rubber, anisotropic conductive silicone rubber and low-temperature conductive silicone rubber.
