What industry do silicone products belong to?

We all know that silicone is a food-grade environmentally friendly raw material, and silicone products are products made of silicone. So what industry do silicone products belong to?

In fact, silicone products belong to the rubber industry and are made of silicone as the main material. Silicone products are also divided into several molding processes. The more common ones are compression molding, extrusion molding, and injection molding. The injection molding process requires liquid silica gel; However, the price of liquid silicone is generally high, but most silicone products are molded, and the cost-effectiveness of molding is relatively high, so molding is more popular with everyone; like the silicone ice trays that we can usually see , silicone hand clips, silicone mobile phone cases, etc. belong to the molding process;

There are many advantages of silicone products, I believe everyone knows it, so I will give some examples here.

1. The feel of silicone products is very good, soft and comfortable, and not easy to deform;

2. Silicone products can also withstand low and high temperature, the applicable temperature is -40°C to 230°C, and can be used in microwave ovens and ovens. Many cake molds are made of silicone;

3. Another point of silicone products is that they have a long life. The chemical properties of silicone raw materials are stable, and they will not have chemical reactions with other chemical substances;

4. Silicone products are also relatively easy to clean, just rinse with water to clean.
