ränikummide

Ränikummide, also known as silicone rubber, is a synthetic elastomer formed by the cross-linking of siloxane polymers. It is characterized by its stability over a wide range of temperatures, from -100°C to +300°C, making it suitable for diverse applications. This material exhibits excellent resistance to ozone, UV radiation, and weathering, contributing to its durability.

The composition of ränikummide involves a silicon-oxygen backbone, which differentiates it from carbon-based organic rubbers. This inorganic structure is responsible for its unique properties, including good electrical insulation and low chemical reactivity. It is often transparent or translucent, but can be pigmented for various aesthetic and functional requirements.

Ränikummide is commonly used in the manufacturing of seals, gaskets, tubing, medical implants, cookware, and electrical insulation. Its biocompatibility makes it a preferred material in healthcare for prosthetics, catheters, and implants. In the culinary world, its heat resistance and non-stick properties are advantageous for bakeware and kitchen utensils. The versatility of ränikummide allows for various processing methods, including molding, extrusion, and calendering, enabling the production of a wide array of products.
