Silicone is not plastic, and what is the difference between silicone and plastic?

Silicone is not plastic, the two are not the same, so what is the difference between silicone and plastic?

Silica gel is an organic polymer material, belonging to the category of organic silicon, the main component is silicon dioxide, chemical stability, non-combustion, the silica gel mold is not deformed, and the service life is long. Silica gel can be divided into solid silica gel and liquid silica gel according to its physical state, and Hongtu silica gel, where Xiaobian is located, is a manufacturer specializing in the production of liquid silica gel. According to the component, silica gel can be divided into one-component silica gel and two-component silica gel, one-component silica gel can be directly cured, and two-component silica gel needs to be mixed and stirred in a specific proportion before it can be cured.

Plastic is a kind of polymer compound, which is made of monomer as raw material and polymerized by polyaddition or polycondensation reaction. Composed of synthetic resins and fillers, plasticizers, stabilizers, lubricants, pigments and other additives, the deformation resistance of plastics is between fiber and rubber, and the anti-deformation ability is medium. The main component of plastics is resin, that is, polymer compounds whose value has not been mixed with various additives. The nature of the resin determines the basic properties of plastics, but additives also play an important role in the middle. Some plastics contain no or little additives, such as plexiglass, polystyrene, etc., which are composed of synthetic resins.

Silica gel is an environmentally friendly organic polymer material, non-toxic and harmless, safe and environmentally friendly, and its wide range of uses. The wide range of applications covers a wide range of applications: aerospace, military technology, cutting-edge technology, construction, electrical and electronics, textiles, automotive, machinery, leather and paper, chemical industry, metals and medical industries.

Plastic raw material is a synthetic or natural polymer, which can be arbitrarily kneaded into various shapes and finally can keep the shape unchanged material or plastic material products. Plastics are also widely used, but waste plastics are often difficult to dispose of, and the white pollution is becoming more and more serious, which is not conducive to recycling, and has a certain impact on human health in the long run.

Some people think that silicone is plastic, obviously this is a wrong judgment of not knowing silicone, silicone is not plastic, and there is a big difference between silicone and plastic. With the continuous progress of science and technology, silicone materials have become the mainstream of green materials, from industry to life, silicone has replaced many other material items, because this is the current trend of the times. As people pay more and more attention to the environmental protection and safety of the items around them, the emergence of silicone products is undoubtedly to cater to people's imagination of green, environmentally friendly low-carbon life, silicone and plastic, in the future will inevitably be more popular with people.
