Understanding the distinctions between liquid silicone and solid siliconecan significantly impact your product development.
Here’s what I want to share:
Key Differences:
1. State:
–Liquid Silicone: Fluid and versatile, ideal for intricate designs.
–Solid Silicone: Rigid and durable, perfect for structural applications.
2. Applications:
–Liquid Silicone: Commonly used in baby products, kitchen supplies, and medical devices, ensuring safety and direct contact with food and the human body.
–Solid Silicone: Typically found in everyday items, industrial parts, and automotive components.
3. Safety:
–Liquid Silicone: Food-grade, highly transparent, and free from vulcanizing agents during molding.
–Solid Silicone: Requires vulcanizing agents to speed up the vulcanisation time.
4. Molding Methods:
–Liquid Silicone: Utilizes injection molding for high precision and efficiency, saving time and resources.
–Solid Silicone: Involves mixing, cutting, and pressure forming, which can be more labor-intensive.
5. Finished Product:
–Liquid Silicone: High transparency, odorless, often features an injection port.
–Solid Silicone: Generally less transparent and may have an odor due to vulcanizing agents.
