Silicone | Vitamins for Life/Industry (VI)


automobile


After washing and breakfast, we drove to work. Of course, as one of the main modern transportation vehicles, automobiles are more useful for silicone materials.






The automobile tire made of RTV silicone rubber has stronger aging resistance, chemical resistance, good elasticity and no pollution. Silicone sealant can ensure that the headlights have better tightness and transparency. Gel encapsulating material is the most important glue used in automotive electronic devices, and protects the engine control module, ignition line and rectifier. Silicone additives can reduce the friction coefficient of PC/ABS parts for a long time and avoid noise in the car cockpit. A car contains at least 3 kilograms of siloxane.


Architecture


Drive to the unit, enter the modern office building, then you are into the embrace of silicone materials. The reason why the glass curtain wall shining blue can be so firmly attached to the wall is because of the strong power of glass glue! Organosilicon sealant is widely used in construction, and silicone materials will be used in building exterior wall seams and aluminum alloy doors and windows oil injection.


At the same time, silicone materials are also used in waterproofing construction. For example, silicone emulsion can be used as surface treatment agent for surface treatment of building materials such as bricks, tiles, natural stones, gypsum, cement, ceramics, and water treatment for basement, swimming pool, water tower and tunnel.


High temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, moisture resistance, extreme temperature resistance, chemical resistance and other characteristics, can ensure that the building in the case of rain and wind, has a good sealing effect for more than 10 years.


An electric appliance


When you get to the office and start your day's work, you use silicone materials in many office supplies. Organic silicone sealant is used in all kinds of structural bonding sealants of computer devices and LED lamp packaging.


Silicone can provide perfect sealing function to protect extremely sensitive electronic components and components from external pollution or movement. This is of great significance to ensure the long-term stability and performance of many electronic products. In addition, silicone materials will not corrode and spontaneously ignite, which meets the most stringent requirements of safety and purity in the production and manufacture of electronic products.


Silicone isolation helps protect the circuits of TV, computer and video display from heat, dirt and dust. At the same time, silicone is very suitable for high voltage applications, and can insulate the ground and underground cables and power supply lines.


As electronic devices become thinner, smaller and faster, the excellent physical properties of organosilicon enable it to expand in new applications: high temperature and low temperature stability, excellent insulation, strength, elasticity and toughness, moisture resistance, chemical stability, ultraviolet resistance and other environmental protection properties, can be sticky. Combine and protect a variety of materials.


Medical care


People are not golden stones, it is inevitable that occasionally there will be a minor illness. When we go to the hospital to see a doctor, we will use a lot of medical devices. Among these devices, organosilicon also shows itself! Silicone rubber has good biocompatibility, including physiological inertia and non-toxicity. It is not easy to cause adverse reactions in contact with human tissues. Therefore, silicone rubber has a wide range of applications in the medical field. At present, silicone rubber is mainly used in medical devices, oral materials, artificial organs, tissue substitutes and so on.






The most representative are medical catheters, such as gastric tube, decompression tube, capillary drainage tube, abdominal cavity drainage tube and urethral catheter. Silicone rubber can also be used as dental soft lining, impression materials, etc. At the same time, silicone rubber can also be used as a substitute for artificial organs and tissues, such as artificial breasts, artificial ears and so on. As we know, contact lenses are also made of silicone rubber.


In addition to silicone rubber, silicone oil is also widely used in the medical field. When patients are doing gastroscopy, they will first drink a liquid, which contains silicone oil. Because the gastric cavity and intestinal tract contain a large number of bubbles and mucosa, and silicone oil has defoaming effect, can make gastroscopy more accurate.






Now you know how wide the use of silicone, and in addition to the application areas mentioned in this article, silicone materials are also used in exploration, oil treatment, sports and other fields. It is precisely because organosilicon has such a wide range of uses, organosilicon is called "industrial monosodium glutamate"!
