Since some liquid silicone rubbers have high viscosity and will produce bubbles when used, it is considered to add silicone oil to dilute the silicone raw materials. This operation will change the various performance indicators of the silicone rubber.
| Performance Item | Compared | Degree of Influence |
|---|---|---|
| Viscosity | Reduce | Larger |
| Operating Time |
Prolonged |
Smaller |
| Curing Time | Prolonged | Smaller |
| Hardness | Reduce | Larger |
| Tear Strength | Reduce | Larger |
| Tensile Strength | Reduce | Larger |
| Elongation Break | Reduce | Smaller |
Experience reminder: Adding too much silicone oil diluent will worsen the performance of the silicone and affect the service life, so the proportion of silicone fluid added should be controlled.
