In many cases, the application of silicone rubber is considered a sealant. Although the material is commonly used for O-rings and sealants, its usage is far more diverse. Silicone rubber grommets and hoses represent an example of several other products produced from this material. Silicone rubber is a highly durable elastomer, namely, rubber type material, which consists of the polymer silicone, and is bonded with hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen molecules. Moreover, silicone rubber grommets have numerous superb mechanical properties such as heat insulation, high-temperature resistance, endurance, and high elasticity.
These kinds of mechanical features of silicone rubber are what make this product perfect for a wide range of uses in many industries. Some of the areas in which it is used include medicine and healthcare, grocery, building and construction, electronics, and electrical, aerospace and automotive, fabrics, and footwear.
Silicone rubber grommets are easily produced as well as keep their form even under the toughest conditions. Its main applications are gaskets, adhesives, and flexible moldings for a variety of equipment and components. They are also applied to cables and hoses as they are able to handle the demands of high bending cycles in industrial uses such as electronics to medical equipment. It maintains flexibility and offers good resistance to pressure adjustment over extensive temperature levels. As a result, it is an excellent sealing agent in applications where low temperatures are necessary.
Due to its high heat resistance, silicone rubber grommets ensure exceptional electrical insulation and sealing for high-temperature fluids. There are many applications of silicone rubber grommets in the automotive industry. On the other hand, they are used in cabling and electrical applications such as power transmission components, insulators, cable connectors, as well as high heat lighting applications such as lens molds, diffusers, reflectors, and headlights.
