Liquid silica gel and solid silica gel are the same silica gel but there are many differences.
First: the difference in morphology, liquid silica gel is liquid, solid silica gel is solid. Liquid silica gel can be processed into silica gel products, processed products are solid. The products processed from solid silicone raw materials are also solid. But we note that you can't get liquid silica gel by heating solid silica gel.
Second: the difference in composition, liquid silica gel is generally made of silicone oil as raw material, and solid silica gel is made of raw rubber.
Third: different components: solid silica gel generally only one component, and then add vulcanization agent high temperature vulcanization; Liquid silica gel itself often has two components, one of which contains vulcanizing agent; There are also liquid silica gel catalyst and the main material in the same component, or high temperature or encounter moisture in the air before vulcanization reaction.
Fourth: different molding methods: solid silica gel need high temperature will react with vulcanizing agent, and processing requires certain equipment; Its forming ways are molding, extrusion, rolling several; Liquid silica gel is not necessarily high temperature, some reaction will occur at room temperature, do not need any equipment. Of course, there are also some liquid silica gel to be heated to react, this liquid silica gel molding needs equipment, molding way has injection and pouring.
Fifth: different uses: solid silica gel can only be used as silica gel products, the application of liquid silica gel is many, in addition to silica gel products, but also can do mold, bonding, sealing, sealing and other uses.
