When it comes to elastomers, AHD Polymer recommends silicone. Choosing AHD Solid Silicone Sheets and Solid Silicone Rods can not only help you create high-reputation finished products, but also inject the core competitiveness of "worry-free, efficient, and high added value" into your production line!

?

Our Solid Silicone Rubber Rod and Sheet are specially designed for industrial-grade processing needs: they use high-purity silicone rubber raw materials, with a temperature range of -60℃~250℃, and will not collapse at high temperatures or harden at low temperatures. They can be used stably from the freezer to the oven; the material density is uniform, and the edges are neat and burr-free during cutting, stamping, and molding, which greatly reduces your processing losses; more importantly, it has super anti-aging properties - after 5 years of outdoor exposure and 1000 hours of steam cooking, and the finished product life is extended!

?

Whether it is a cushion for electronic components, a seal for medical equipment, or an anti-slip lining for automotive parts, it can be precisely adapted: the hardness can be freely selected, the color can be customized (black, white, colorful), and even supports special conductive/flame-retardant formulas! Welcome to contact us.

Product advantages: Why choose AHD Silicone Rubber Rod? ??

Compared with ordinary rubber rods (such as nitrile rubber rods), plastic rods (such as PVC rods, acrylic rods), or metal rods, the comprehensive performance of silicone rods is more outstanding, especially in extreme environments or scenarios with high safety requirements:

?

1. Adaptability to extreme environments

?

Wide temperature range: conventional types are temperature-resistant from -60℃ to 200℃ (long-term), and high-temperature types can reach -100℃ to 300℃ (short-term), far exceeding ordinary rubber rods (-40℃ to 120℃) and plastic rod (such as PVC only 60℃).

Weather resistance: Strong resistance to ozone, ultraviolet rays, and oxidation, with a tensile strength retention rate of >80% after 10 years of outdoor exposure (only 50% for ordinary rubber rods).

?

??2. Safety and non-toxicity

?

Food grade certification: Can use food grade materials to meet food grade requirements,can directly contact food (such as baking molds, kitchen mats).

??Medical grade safety: no precipitate, no allergenicity, in line with ISO 10993 standards, used for medical trays, surgical instrument pads.

??Low volatility: no benzene, halogen (Br/Cl < 900ppm),, suitable for sensitive scenarios such as electronics and medical.

?

3. Balanced physical properties??

?

High elasticity??: Good resilience (compression permanent deformation <15%, after 24 hours of compression of 25%), height loss after repeated compression of 500,000 times <5% (about 10% for ordinary rubber rods).

??Buffering energy absorption??: Excellent buffering performance is maintained at a density of 0.8~1.5g/cm3, and the energy absorption efficiency is more than twice that of PVC rods.

??Lightweight??: The density is only 1/50~1/20 of that of metal, suitable for scenes with high weight reduction requirements (such as thermal insulation pads for aerospace).

?

4. Flexible processing and adaptability?

?

Can be die-cut, stamped, and hot-pressed (bonded to metal/plastic at 150°C), and supports customized special-shaped parts (such as round gaskets and grooved buffer blocks)

The surface can be coated with silicone glue (such as Dow Corning SE1863) to enhance adhesion with other materials.

?

5. Aesthetic consideration

?

Aesthetic considerations are also at the forefront of our product offerings. Some applications require more than just functionality; they demand a visually appealing solution to enhance product design, brand identity, or customer experience. For example, industries like consumer electronics, automotive interiors, and medical devices often prioritize both performance and aesthetics to meet consumer expectations and regulatory standards. It is easy to adjust colors and can meet the aesthetic needs of customers.

?

?

Silicone Rods, with their high and low temperature resistance, non-toxic and environmentally friendly, elastic and durable characteristics, have penetrated almost every scene of life. They are not only the "invisible rigid demand" of industrial production, but also the "universal supporting role" of terminal consumer products.

?

??1. Daily necessities & Home: Small objects that enhance the quality of life

The softness, anti-yellowing and easy processing of Silicone Rubber Bar make it the "face value" of household daily necessities.

?

Kitchen scene: baking molds (such as cookie molds, cake border strips), non-slip placemats (cut into round/square shapes and attached to the bottom of cups/plates), and heat-insulating gloves.

??Bathroom scene: bathroom non-slip mats (cut into wavy/granular patterns), silicone floor drain plugs (good elasticity and not easy to age), toothbrush holder support strips (resistant to moisture and not deformed).

??Home decoration: creative ornaments (such as geometric decorative columns), green plant stem covers (wrapped around the edges of flower pots to prevent scratches), curtain buffer buckles (fixed on curtain rods to reduce shaking noise)

?

?

2. Industry & Electronics: Stable and Reliable "Heroes Behind the Scenes"

Industrial equipment has extremely high requirements for the durability and anti-aging of materials. The weather resistance (-40℃~250℃) and insulation of silicone rods just meet the needs.

?

??Mechanical shock absorption: equipment base cushion (cut into sheets or columns for filling), motor vibration isolation strips (wrapped around screws to reduce noise).

Electronic insulation: wire and cable protective sleeves (wrapped wire harnesses to prevent wear), circuit board fixtures (soft and do not crush components), LED light strip silicone sleeves (high temperature resistance and cracking resistance).

Sealing and dustproof: pipeline interface sealing ring (tight fit after vulcanization molding), instrument panel dustproof strips (cut into thin strips to fill gaps).

3. Medical & maternal and infant care: safety is the first rigid demand

The medical and maternal and infant care fields have strict requirements on the non-toxic and non-allergenic properties of materials, and food-grade silicone rods are their "safety endorsement".

?

Medical protective gear: medical fixation belt support strip (wrapped in a bandage to increase elasticity), outer layer protective tube of the urinary catheter (soft and skin-friendly to reduce irritation).

??Maternal and infant products: baby teether (surface grinding particles after molding), pacifier anti-lost rope connector (soft and not tight), children's tableware handle (bite-resistant and non-deformed).

?

?

4. Customized processing: "Universal blanks" to meet personalized needs

Silicone rods are highly plastic. Retailers can customize the size, color, and hardness according to customer needs, and easily accept "small batch, high profit" customized orders.

?

Brand customization: Customized corporate LOGO anti-slip mats, cultural and creative peripherals (such as anime character pendants), promotional gifts (key chains/mobile phone holders with customized shapes of LOGO).

Function customization: special hardness (such as Shaw A80 hard silicone rods for tool handles), oil resistance/chemical corrosion resistance (adding special formulas), to meet the special needs of industrial customers.
