RTV Key business indicators

Business indicators
-- apparent
-- flowing
-- extrusion rate
-- skin time
-- hardness


Internal control index

Apparent

■ The view is very important to the customer

■ Apparent definition

Class A            No surface defects, No blocks and particles

second level    A small amount of surface defects, small blocks and particles

Three              Apparent surface defects, blocks and particles

Four                Severe surface defects, large blocks and particles

Addition of fumed silica in RTV
White carbon black in RTV?
Why not silicone in some color glue systems?

PU, acrylic acid, butyl rubber, polysulfide, epoxy, MS adhesive


The thixotropy of fumed silica in RTV

RTV Problems associated with silicon gas

■ Particles

- reason (white carbon black reunion water (107), for other reasons, skinning) 
- glue st13 neutral transparent st13 noise sensitivity acid
- may cause: powder together, has high moisture and other structural problem

■ Rheology: flow, low thixotropy, slow recovery

-- Not enough specific surface area, reunion, surface groups

■ Strength is not enough

-- Specific surface area, reunion, surface groups and other reasons

■ Shortening product life

-- Moisture content is exorbitant, consumption of crosslinking agent


High temperature vulcanization silicone rubber

■ Raw rubber

-- dimethyl silicone rubber
-- methyl vinyl silicone rubber
-- methyl phenyl vinyl silicone rubbe

■ Application field:

-- Universal type, high strength, high temperature resistant, low temperature, low compression permanent deformation, oil resistant, solvent resistance, flame retardant, conductive, thermal shrinkage, etc


The composition of high temperature vulcanized silicone rubber
Main ingredients: raw rubber
Coordinate syste

■ reinforcing agent

The processing technology of the high temperature vulcanization silicone rubber

■ Mixing process

■ Vulcanization process

A sulfide (time, temperature, pressure, vulcanizing agent)

10-20min,165-170C,10MPa

After secondary sulfide (oven curing/sulfide), remove the vulcanizing agent

4-20hr, 200-250C


The properties of high temperature vulcanization silicone rubber associated with white carbon black
transparency and yellowing
strength
structured
heat resistance
processing not to form a smooth dough


Xin 'an gas silicon application in the high temperature glue problem

■ Poor stability between batches (stability)

■ Plasticity is high or low (stability)

■ Transparency is bad (look)

Yellowing secondary sulfide (look)

■ Poor workability (structure)

■ Heat resistance is bad (structure)

■ Low hardness of high hardness rubber (cost?)


Transparency


Poor appearance and possible causes

■ Poor transparency:

The particle size is larger than the actual thickness (the deviation of the table, the dispersion is not good)

Mixing and curing after rapid white (surface hydrophilic groups more?)

■ Yellow:

Iron ions on the high side
Degradation of hydroxyl groups on the high side, prompting raw rubber chain is brok


Gas silica reinforcing effect of silicone rubber

■ Active reinforcing agent: white carbon black

■ Half active or inactive reinforcing agent: diatomite, quartz powder

■ Strength comes from and crosslinking between polymer chain and polymer and the interaction between white carbon black

■ But the white carbon black reinforcing effect more apparent (5-10 times)

Gas silica reinforcing effect of silicone rubber

Gas silica reinforcing effect of silicone rubber




Heat resistance is not good




Improve the heat resistance of the solution: take the initiative to improve white carbon black or white carbon black processing




■ Processability problem

structured
Because white carbon black surface groups and main chain, hydroxyl-terminated and their interaction, after storing the formation of strong interaction, serious word hard to processing
Solution: join the structure control agent, or in addition to hydroxyl grou

Processing not clouds

The chloride ion?


The pros and cons of white carbon black in high temperature vulcanization silicone rubber

For hydroxyl of the white carbon black reinforcing a significant contribution
And hydroxyl for structured and heat resistance has important influence 
In addition to hydrophobic treatment agent is added in the high temperature adhesive and heat resistant additives, advanced study differences in xinan white carbon black and white carbon black is also a important topic


Good prospects for development of liquid silicone rubber

Usually in the form of two components

A component vinyl raw rubber, fillers and additives 
Part B organic silicon polymer crosslinke

Compared with the glue

No by-product 
Good storage temperature
Fast processing (injection forming a few seconds to a few minutes, the high temperature heating to remove volatile





Silicon is an essential raw material in LSR
High - purity
High transparency
High reinforcement



Requirements for liquid silicone rubber
