The temperature range that silicone can withstand varies depending on its specific type and use. The following is a detailed analysis of the temperature range of silica gel:
First, ordinary silicone
Temperature range: generally around -50℃ to 160℃. Temperatures in this range will not have a significant effect on the properties of ordinary silica gel.
Application scenario: It is often used in some non-high temperature environments in daily life, such as mobile phone cases, key chains, etc.
Two, food grade silicone
Temperature range: usually around -50℃ to 250℃. Within 250 ° C, food-grade silicone does not undergo chemical reactions to decompose colored objects, making it ideal for high temperature cooking environments.
Application scenario: Commonly used in silicone kitchenware, baking molds, etc., these products can be safely used in high temperature equipment such as ovens.
Three, special high temperature silicone
Temperature range: Some special formulations of silicone, such as high temperature silicone, its high temperature resistance can reach more than 300 ° C, and even some special silicone can withstand temperatures of up to 350 ° C in a short time.
Application scenario: These special high temperature resistant silicone products are often used in the need to work at high temperatures for a long time, such as seals in the engine compartment of the automobile, high temperature seals in industrial equipment.
4. Precautions for use
Avoid extreme temperatures: Although silica gel has certain high temperature resistance, long-term exposure to extreme high temperatures may still have an impact on its performance. Therefore, in use should avoid exceeding its temperature range.
Pay attention to the use of the environment: the performance of silicone at high temperatures may also be affected by other factors, such as pressure, humidity, light and so on. Therefore, when using silicone products, attention should be paid to changes in the use of the environment, and appropriate measures should be taken to protect silicone from these factors.
The temperature range that silicone can withstand varies depending on its type and use. When selecting silica gel, its temperature range should be determined according to the specific use environment and requirements, and ensure that it does not exceed its temperature limit during use.
