Hoʻohana nui ʻia nā ʻōpala silikoni i ka hana ʻoihana, ka lāʻau lapaʻau, ka meaʻai, a me ka hana hou ʻana ma muli o ko lākou kūlana kiʻekiʻe a haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa, elasticity maikaʻi, a me ke kūpaʻa kemika. ʻO kā lākou mea nui he silicone rubber, a ma muli o nā koi noi, hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā ʻōpala silicone i nā ʻano like ʻole, e like me ka lumi wela o ka lumi vulcanized silicone rubber (RTV), kiʻekiʻe wela vulcanized silicone rubber (HTV), a me ka silikoni hoʻololi kūikawā.
ʻO ka ʻōpala silikoni vulcanized lumi lumi (RTV) kekahi o nā mea hoʻoheheʻe silicone maʻamau maʻamau a loaʻa i nā ʻano-ʻelua a me ʻelua-ʻano. Hoʻōla ʻo RTV silicone rubber ma ka lumi wela me ka ʻole o ka pono o ka hoʻomehana ʻana, e kūpono ana ia no ka hana wikiwiki. Hōʻike ia i ka flowability maikaʻi loa a me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ka mold, e ʻae ai i ka hana hou ʻana o nā mea leʻaleʻa maikaʻi. Hoʻohana maʻamau ia no ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā mea hana lima, nā kumu hoʻohālike hale, a me nā ʻāpana ʻoihana liʻiliʻi. ʻO RTV silicone rubber maʻamau he Shore A paʻakikī ma waena o 20A a me 40A, e hāʻawi ana i ka loli kiʻekiʻe a kūpono hoʻi no nā poni me nā hale paʻakikī.
Pono ka wela kiʻekiʻe vulcanized silicone rubber (HTV) i nā wela kiʻekiʻe (maʻamau 120 degere a 200 degere) no ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana a kūpono no ka hana nui-nui. Hāʻawi ka HTV silicone rubber i ka ʻoi aku o ka ikaika mechanical a me ke kū ʻana i ka wela, e ʻae ana i ka hoʻohana lōʻihi-ma nā wela mai ka -60 degere a 250 degere. No laila, hoʻohana nui ʻia ia i ka hana mold no ka ʻoihana automotive, electronics, a me aerospace. Hāʻawi ka HTV silicone rubber i kahi ākea o ka paʻakikī, mai 10A a 80 Shore A, a hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia e hoʻokō i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana a me nā koi paʻa o nā huahana like ʻole.
No ka hoʻonui hou ʻana i ka hana ʻana o nā ʻōpala silikoni, hoʻololi pinepine ʻia lākou, e like me ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā mea hoʻopiha (e like me ka silica a me ka calcium carbonate) e hoʻonui i ka paʻakikī a me ke kūpaʻa ʻana, a i ʻole ma ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā mea hoʻohui e like me ke kiʻekiʻe -mahana, ʻaila -kūʻokoʻa, a me ka UV-mea pale e hoʻololi i nā kaiapuni kikoʻī. No ka laʻana, mālama ka fluorosilicone rubber i ka elasticity maikaʻi loa o ka silicone rubber aʻo ka hoʻonui ʻana i kona kūpaʻa kemika a me ka aila, kūpono ia no ka hana ʻana i nā ʻoihana i ka ʻoihana kemika a me nā meaʻai.
I ka hōʻuluʻulu ʻana, hoʻokumu mua ʻia nā ʻōpala silicone ma luna o ka silicone rubber. Ma o nā ʻano hana vulcanization a me nā kaʻina hoʻololi, hiki iā lākou ke hoʻokō i nā pono ʻoihana like ʻole. Inā paha ʻo ka hiki wikiwiki o ka RTV a i ʻole ke kiʻekiʻe -maha wela o ka HTV, ua lilo nā mea hoʻoheheʻe silikoni me ko lākou mau waiwai kino a me nā mea kemika, i mea pono loa i ka hana hou.
