When is silicone rubber the right choice for sealing and insulation? Silicone rubber has many desirable properties, but costs more than other polymers. That's why some engineers avoid them -- even though the price of silicone rubber has fallen. Meanwhile, new materials, such as thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), are interesting, but expensive.

Advantages of silicone rubber

Silicone rubber resists moisture, chemicals, heat, cold, ozone and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. They are also stable, flexible, durable and aesthetically pleasing. Advantages of silicone rubber include:

- good thermal stability, low chemical reactivity

- excellent resistance to ozone, sunlight and oxygen

- consistent performance at high and low temperatures

- waterproof, moisture-proof and form a waterproof seal

- good electrical insulation and excellent air permeability

- available in a variety of hardness and custom colors

- provide special grades and filling materials

Can we seal the alcohol with silicone rubber seals? Does alcohol corrode silicone rubber seals? Silicone rubber seals are used to seal the alcohol. They do not react with each other.

Silicone rubber seal ring was introduced as a high activity adsorption material. Silica gel is a highly active adsorption material, usually containing sodium silicate and sulfuric acid, which is made through a series of post-treatment processes, such as aging and acid bubbles. Silica gel is an amorphous substance, insoluble in water and any solvent, non-toxic and tasteless, chemical properties are stable, and does not react with strong alkali and hydrofluoric acid. Alcohol is a colorless, transparent, volatile, flammable and non-conductive liquid. When the alcohol concentration is 70%, it has a strong killing effect on bacteria. Therefore, for some medical silicone rubber seals only approved by FDA, they are usually sterilized with alcohol or saline at high temperature.

It can be seen that alcohol will not corroded the silicone rubber seal ring, will not cause any damage to the silicone rubber seal ring. If you need to buy silicone rubber ring, you can contact us immediately! Our products are guaranteed quality, and affordable prices.
