Where is the difference between liquid and solid silica gel?

One is solid. The non-solid silicone that flows like water we call liquid silicone; Of course, liquid silica gel has a certain viscosity, usually more dense than water, there  fore, liquidity is not as strong as water.

Liquid silica gel encounters curing agent or catalyst after curing reaction, according to different types of liquid silica gel will be cured into different hardness and different properties of solid silica gel.

Liquid silica gel can be divided into:

1, mold silica gel

Mold liquid silica gel is a new type of mold material. Compared with steel mold, the silica gel mold made of mold silica gel has huge advantages in production efficiency and production cost. Now, the mold silica gel has been widely used in the toy gift industry, medical, electronic, mechanical fields, character replication, home building decoration and decoration industry, unsaturated resin crafts industry, simulation animal and plant sculpture, Buddha carving crafts and other industries of mold making.

2, pad printing silica gel

Pad printing liquid silica gel is used to make pad printing plastic head, mainly used for plastic toys, electroplating products, electronic toys, trademarks, irregular pattern printing. Pad printing plastic head is the pattern on the steel plate through the plastic head as a carrier, and then the pattern on the steel plate transfer on the toy products. Pad printing liquid silicone can be added to control the hardness of silicone oil.

3, electronic encapsulation silica gel

Electronic sealing liquid silica gel is mainly used for sealing electronic products. Electronic sealing liquid silica gel can play the role of sealing, waterproof, dustproof, thermal conductivity, shock proof, insulation and so on. In addition, one is used for LED potting adhesive, with high transparency, high refractive index characteristics.

4, hand plate silica gel

Hand plate liquid silica gel is also known as the first version of silica gel, usually used to make hand plate model, compared with hand plate mud hand plate liquid silica gel after curing has the characteristics of wear-resisting, strong resilience.

5, silicone glue

Silicone glue is what we usually call glass glue, it is also a liquid silica gel. Silicone glue in the use of disorderly addition of curing agent, encounter water molecules in the air can be cured into a tough solid, so as to achieve the adhesion between the cracks of glass. The cured silicone adhesive has the characteristics of weather resistance, vibration resistance, moisture resistance, odor resistance and adaptation to large changes in heat and cold.

6, clothing signs silicone support

Liquid silicone clothing signs after curing is we often see the clothing vendor's silicone signs. The use of liquid silicone clothing signs have a good handle, wear resistance, high production efficiency.

7, high temperature silica gel

The ordinary high temperature mold used for the production of silica gel mold silica gel can withstand high temperature between 200 and 300 degrees Celsius, and for aviation and bronzing industries, high temperature liquid silica gel curing can work for a long time in 400℃ to 1300℃ environment without changes in performance.

8. Human silica gel

Human silica gel is a kind of liquid silica gel with low curing hardness, which is environmentally friendly, non-toxic and has no adverse effects on human objects. Therefore, it can be implanted into the human body, and is usually used for making artificial limbs. It can also be used to simulate people, etc.
