Built-in "Lubrication Buff"! This Silicone Eliminates "Sticking" Woes for Components

Hits: 562 img


In industrial production and everyday products, the "friction issue" with silicone components has long been a headache—sticky seals, worn-out silicone tubes, and high resistance at fitting interfaces not only compromise user experience but also shorten product lifespan. Frequent replacement of parts further drives up costs. Now, a self-lubricating liquid silicone rubber has emerged, offering smooth operation without the need for additional lubricants. This revolutionary material solves friction-related challenges, making silicone components more reliable and durable.

The standout advantage of this self-lubricating liquid silicone rubber is its built-in lubrication effect. Once cured, the product surface feels as if coated with an invisible lubricating film—smooth to the touch and non-sticky. When paired with other components, it significantly reduces friction and wear, akin to adding "lubricating oil" to mechanical joints. This ensures smoother operation, eliminating issues like jamming or abnormal noises. The self-lubricating property is inherent to the material and does not diminish over time, offering longer-lasting and more consistent performance compared to traditional lubricant application methods.

It is also exceptionally user-friendly in operation. With a two-component 1:1 weight ratio mixing design, workers can simply mix equal weights of Components A and B without complex calculations, readying the material for immediate use. The mixed material boasts excellent flowability, easily filling intricate cavities and adapting to products of various shapes. Moreover, its superior mold release properties allow cured products to detach quickly from molds without sticking, reducing demolding time while ensuring a smooth, flawless surface and lowering defect rates.

In terms of performance, this silicone is a true "durability champion." It achieves a tensile strength of 9 MPa, equivalent to withstanding the pull of 9 standard atmospheres without breaking. Its tear strength reaches 35 kN/m, offering exceptional wear and aging resistance, maintaining structural integrity even under frequent friction. Equally impressive is its flexibility, with an elongation rate of 500%, allowing it to stretch to five times its original length and instantly rebound without deformation. This makes it ideal for products like silicone tubes and flexible seals that require repeated bending.

Currently, it is widely used in the production of self-lubricating silicone tubes, seals, and various silicone components. For example:

  • Industrial equipment seals made from this material enable smooth opening and closing under high-pressure contact while reducing wear.

  • Household water purifier silicone tubes leverage the self-lubricating property to ensure smoother water flow, minimize tube wall abrasion, and extend service life.

  • Waterproof silicone accessories for electronic devices provide sealing and water resistance while reducing friction with other components to protect precision parts.

For businesses seeking enhanced durability and smooth operation in components, this self-lubricating silicone is undoubtedly a premium choice for elevating product quality.
