Imagine a bicycle helmet made from play-doh, or a mattress made of rocks. It sounds ineffective and unappealing, doesn’t it? That’s because products designers know the importance of using the right materials to make the most functional products. For that same reason, engineers are choosing liquid silicone rubber to build new keypads, as well as countless other products. But don’t take their word for it, here’s how to know if liquid silicone is right for you!
You want a durable product
Who wouldn’t want to create a more durable product? This is one of the reasons silicone rubber is being used in place over other obsolete materials that have been used in the past. Silicone combines strength and elasticity, a duo that makes it remarkably durable in even the harshest environments.
You want a versatile product
Silicone is known as one of the most versatile materials around. Scientists would describe silicone as a “missing link” between organic and inorganic chemistry, and it combines the advantages of both. Silicone is both temperature and moisture resistant, but it is able to take many different forms; a feature which has made the element very attractive to different industries.
Your product has a special use
The beauty of silicone rubber is its ability to be used in such a wide variety of special applications. In the healthcare field, injection molding is used in heart monitors, dialysis machines, blood pressure tests, and so much more. In the military, machines need to be battle tested. Silicone is leading the charge in well-designed, durable, military technology. Silicone solutions can also be found in industries like security, automotive, aeronautics and more.
