The main components of liquid silicone
Liquid silicone products have been favored by many consumers in the market due to their advantages of being non-toxic, odorless, non oxidizing, non deformable, and highly reusable. Widely used in our daily necessities and maternal and child products, such as pacifiers, bottles, silicone toothbrushes, dental glue, and so on.
1. Liquid silica gel is a highly active adsorbent material, belonging to amorphous substances, with a chemical formula of mSiO2 · nH2O. Insoluble in water and any solvent, non-toxic and odorless, chemically stable, and does not react with any substance except strong alkali and hydrofluoric acid.
2. Various types of silicone gel form different microporous structures due to their different manufacturing methods. The chemical composition and physical structure of silicone determine that it has many characteristics that are difficult to replace by other similar materials: high adsorption performance, good thermal stability, stable chemical properties, and high mechanical strength.
3. Silicone can be divided into macroporous silicone, coarse pore silicone, B-type silicone, and fine pore silicone based on their pore size. Due to the different pore structures, their adsorption properties have their own characteristics.
4. Coarse pore silica gel has a higher adsorption capacity under high relative humidity, while fine pore silica gel has a higher adsorption capacity under low relative humidity. B-type silica gel, due to its pore structure between coarse and fine pore silica gel, also has an adsorption capacity between coarse and fine pore silica gel. Macroporous silica gel is generally used as a catalyst carrier, matting agent, toothpaste abrasive, etc. Therefore, different varieties should be selected according to different purposes. After absorbing moisture, silica gel can be regenerated through methods such as sun exposure, baking, and air drying.
5. Main uses of liquid silicone gel: Liquid silicone gel has a strong adsorption effect, which can quickly and effectively adsorb moisture in sealed packaging. It has stable chemical properties and is non-toxic and harmless; In recent years, with continuous innovation and development, various types of silicone have been widely used in drug purification, DNA separation, food drying, high-precision electronics, advanced cosmetics, sewage purification, beer purification, advanced coatings, and resin production or preservation.
