Silicone Rubber Production Cost Reports

Silicone Rubber production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Silicone Rubber production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Silicone Rubber. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Silicone Rubber is a high-performance elastomer made up of silicone (polymer) comprising silicon and other molecules, including carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

The rubber has a versatile range of properties, including high durability, transparency, high-temperature performance, high-resistant elastomer and electrical insulation, making it a high-performance material. It has a siloxane backbone (silicon-oxygen chain) and an organic moiety bound to the silicon.

The rubber's strong Si-O chemical structure and high bond energy give it distinct performance properties that include a wide service temperature range, great resistance to oxygen, ozone and sunlight, thermal and therm-oxidative, good non-stick and non-adhesive properties, low toxicity and chemical reactivity, flexibility at low temperatures, optical transparency, great excellent insulation properties, high biocompatibility and good mechanical properties (high tear strength, high elongation).

Silicone Rubber is usually full of additives which help attain a high performance making it ideal for various applications. It is used in pigments and colours due to its high transparency options making it colourable with pigments as required. In addition, it is used in electrical applications like insulating tape, sealant, keyboards, lubricants, varnish, and housings.

It can be used in the aerospace industry to make spacesuit fabrics, tooling materials, seals and gaskets and to manufacture aircraft. Furthermore, it is used in construction applications for adhesives, sealants, and coatings due to its weathering properties and capacity to bond to metal. In automotive end-uses, it finds use in vibration and weather-resistant parts as well as in tubing, adhesives, and defoamers in the medical industry.

Also, other consumer products that employ rubber include food containers, toys, anti-stick bakeware, utensils, and jewellery which further boosts the market demand. Besides these applications, it works as a key ingredient in laundry soap, cosmetics, shampoos and deodorant.
