Silicone Rubber
Silicones are high-molecular compounds of silicon, oxygen and organic groups. The direct synthesis that results by converting organo-halides with silicon and silicon alloys in the production of organo-silicon compounds is also known as the ROCHOW synthesis.
The initial product is Dimethyl-polysiloxane. Cross-linking happens as a result of the vulcanization e.g. initiated by peroxides. Silicone rubber, because of its high heat stability and low temperature flexibility, is suitable for versatile applications in temperature ranges from -60°C to +250°C.
To achieve high mechanical strength, a concentration of 30 - 40% of the desired AEROSIL® products needs to be added.
