In the field of flame-retardant product manufacturing, "safety" and "environmental protection" are often dual goals pursued by enterprises. The emergence of a brand-new flame-retardant silicone rubber (HCR) has perfectly balanced these two major needs with advantages such as halogen-free flame retardancy, high strength, and easy processability, quickly becoming a "new favorite" for many enterprises to create high-quality flame-retardant products.
For the modern manufacturing industry that values environmental protection, "halogen-free flame retardancy" is a major highlight of this silicone rubber. Traditional halogen-containing flame-retardant materials may release toxic and harmful gases when burned, posing threats to the environment and human health. In contrast, this silicone rubber abandons halogen components and adopts a more environmentally friendly flame-retardant formula. When burned, it not only self-extinguishes quickly (achieving V-0 grade flame retardancy with a 2mm thickness) but also reduces the emission of harmful gases. It not only meets fire safety requirements but also aligns with the concept of green production, making it particularly suitable for industries with strict environmental requirements such as electronics, home appliances, and construction.
Its high-strength performance makes it more durable in practical applications. Flame-retardant products inevitably face tests such as external impact and stretching during daily use. The tensile strength of this silicone rubber is stably maintained at 5.5-6.0MPa, and the material has excellent toughness, making it difficult to break. Its tear strength reaches 12-14KN/m, so even if scratched by sharp objects, it is not easy to be damaged. For example, when used to make flame-retardant sealing rings for electrical equipment, it can not only prevent the spread of flames but also withstand the vibration and friction during equipment operation for a long time, extending the service life of the product.
The convenience of processing also helps enterprises "reduce burdens and improve efficiency" in production. Its curing process is simple and easy to operate: by adding a curing agent according to standard parameters and controlling temperature and pressure, it can be quickly molded. Moreover, the molding effect is stable, with few problems such as bubbles and deformation, reducing the rejection rate. At the same time, products of different grades provide a wide range of choices: HTV-8550 has low hardness and good elasticity, suitable for making flame-retardant components that require flexible deformation; HTV-8580 has high hardness and stable structure, suitable for making fire-proof accessories with fixed shapes. This diversified performance coverage allows enterprises to meet the production needs of different products without frequent material replacement.
More importantly, this silicone rubber has passed the RoHS test, ensuring material safety. Whether used to produce flame-retardant accessories for children's products or fire-proof components for medical equipment, it can avoid harm to the human body from harmful substances, making enterprises more competitive in seizing the market. It can be said that the emergence of this flame-retardant silicone rubber provides the industry with a "safe, environmentally friendly, and efficient" material solution, promoting the quality of flame-retardant products to a new level.
