Types of silica gel

Silicone

Organosilicon gel is a kind of organosilicon compound, which contains Si-°C bonds, and at least one organic group is directly linked to silicon atoms. Among them, polysiloxane composed of silicon-oxygen bond (-Si-O-Si-) as the skeleton is the most numerous, deepest and most widely used class of organosilicon compounds, accounting for more than 90% of the total use.

Inorganic silica gel

Inorganic silica gel is a highly active adsorption material, which is usually reacted with sodium silicate and sulfuric acid, and undergoes a series of post-treatments such as aging and acid foaming process. Silica gel is an amorphous substance, and its chemical formula is mSiO2 .nH2O. Insoluble in water and any solvent, non-toxic and tasteless, The chemical properties are stable, and it does not react with any substances except strong alkali and hydrofluoric acid. Various types of silica gel form different microporous structures due to their different manufacturing methods. The chemical composition and physical structure of silica gel determine that it has many characteristics that are difficult to replace with other similar materials: High adsorption performance, good thermal stability, stable chemical properties, high mechanical strength, etc., household use as desiccant, humidity regulator, deodorant, etc.; It is used in industry as an oil hydrocarbon decolorizer, catalyst carrier, pressure swing adsorbent, etc.; Separation and purifier for fine chemicals, beer stabilizer, coating thickener, toothpaste friction agent, matting agent, etc.

The birth of silicone supplies

Extraction of raw materials

Silica gel mixing process

Molding process

Post process

The starting point for the production of silicone products is the extraction of raw materials. The basic raw material of silica gel is mainly derived from quartz sand, which is converted into high-purity organosilicon monomer after complex chemical purification and processing. These monomers are polycondensed by hydrolysis to form polysiloxanes with different degrees of polymerization. The professional factory will conduct strict physical and chemical analysis of raw materials, control key indicators such as purity and viscosity, and ensure the stable quality of each batch of raw materials. For example, in the preparation of highly transparent silicone products, the content of metal impurities in the raw materials is extremely high, and once the standard is exceeded, the transparency and physical properties of the product will be seriously affected. Accurate raw material extraction and quality control lay a solid foundation for subsequent production links.
