Some of the most useful properties of silicone rubber include flexibility, excellent electrical insulation, thermal stability (consistency of properties over a wide operating range of -100 to 250℃), excellent resistance to different weather condition, anti-aging and exceptional electrical properties. In addition to these properties above, silicone rubber has been widely applied in various fields such as food manufacture, medical application, home construction and maintenance, electronic devices and other industries such as transportation, lithification, construction, telecommunication and high –tech field such as aviation and aerospace industry.

  Uni-Home uses the materials which is imported from ShinEtsu (Japan), Dow Corning (USA), and Bayer (Germany) to manufacture our silicone rubber products. In order to fulfill various demands of our customers, the raw materials are often mixed with other compound materials to improve its properties such as acidity and alkalinity resistance as well as mechanical strength, chemical and oil resistance, anti-melting and steam tolerance. Moreover it is used to increase its thermal and voltaic tolerance, as well as to enhance the tolerance of wearing, low temperature and ozone resistance.

  Daily Appliances 

  The non-toxic, tasteless, temperature endurance characteristics of silicone rubber have been largely applied in our daily lives. For example, the inlet pipes of automatic drinking water dispenser, seal rings/gaskets, goggles, pacifiers, steam pipes, silicone cloth/oven mitts, modern kitchen facilities, toys/gifts, sports equipment and all sorts of household electric appliances components.

  Industrial Application

  Silicone rubber has excellent electrical properties in heat sink, insulation, wearing resistance, anti-aging, high/low temperature endurance, flame retardant, cushion resistance, etc. It is widely used in many appliances in the field of industrial application. For instance, silicone rubber heat sink sheet/pad, silicone rubber heat sink tube, heat conductive soft pad, insulating cap, O-ring, water-proof strip, packing, fire-proof sleeves, grease seal, shock absorbent and wire covering materials, etc.

  Telecommunication

  Silicone rubber has excellent characteristics in insulation, fatigue strength, and hot or cold weather resistance. Hence, it is rapidly developed in the industry of telecommunication, especially in the production of keypads and contact mats. In the early stage, the keypads were the combination of plastic material and metal dome plates. The result of such design had many shortcomings (such as extra press force required uncomfortable sense of touch) and was inconvenient to use, not to mention its short life-span. Later the keyboards had improved from manual to automatic. Although is it more convenient to use, the design and production were too complicated and expensive. Eventually, silicone rubber keypads have overcame most difficulties and solved the major problem of prime cost and life-span. It was produce in such structure of placing the silicone rubber conductive keypad on top of the PC board, and then the message will pass through the bottom part of rubber carbon pills when it is in contact with the PC board. As a result, it has become an indispensable component of telecommunication industry nowadays.

  Medical Industry

  Due to the characteristics of good ventilation and moisture penetration of silicone rubber, plus the advantage of it is harmless to human body which will not cause any allergic reaction or repulsion, it is often used as the replacement of internal organs or tissues, i.e., artificial joints, meninges and heart valve, etc. It is also applied in cosmetic surgeries and restoration, for instance, the mending of forehead, nose, mandible, neck, external ear default, skull and internal organs, even breast implants. Moreover, silicone rubber is widely used in medical instrument and accessories. For example, the products include: pumps, bellows, soft-tissue dilator, shunt device, blood transfusion tube, delivery tube, gastro-scope tube, peritoneum dialysis tube, endotracheal tube, etc.

  Automobile Industry

  For silicone rubber has much strength as thermal stability, good flexibility, and maturing resistance, it is applied in many important production of rubber sealing. The development of automotive field has pushed forward the growth of silicone rubber consumption; hence, accessories and components of silicone rubber currently used in automotive manufacturing all meet up the strict operating requirements.

  Construction

  The high viscosity of silicone structural sealant and high weathering quality soft sealant are the two most widely used silicone sealant groups. The first one belongs to medium level modulus sealant products. Mainly used to cohering the giant glass walls structure of modern construction works; whereas the latter sealant belong to the mid-low modulus level product groups and is primarily used and reliability of silicone rubber is widely acknowledged in the construction industry. The two types of silicone sealant are belonging to neutral vulcanization system, thus it performs anti-corrosion function to the building material. Also it performs high resistance to the corrosion of rain, snow, ozone and ultraviolet rays.

  Following the better understanding and further study of the silicone rubber technology, its application remains expanding nowadays. It has become extremely influential and essential in our daily lives and continues to bring us advantages as well as convenience.
