Nowadays, the application of silica gel is more and more extensive, household appliances, electronic products, daily necessities, will use silicone. So in a wide range of use scenarios, is silica gel flammable? How about the flame retardant fire resistance of silicone products?

Ordinary silica gel is not easy to burn, but ignition, generally add a small amount of flame retardant can play a good flame retardant effect.

To see how the flame retardant and fire resistance of a product is, we have to start from the characteristics of the product. Silica gel has strong high temperature resistance and can be used for a long time in the environment of 250°C-300°C. Add an appropriate amount of silica gel high-temperature agent, its use temperature can be up to 375 °C, and can instantly withstand thousands of degrees of high temperature. Silica gel is not easy to age, it can last 20 years at 120 °C and 5 years at 150 °C. Silicone also has excellent electrical properties, corona resistance and arc resistance. Excellent physical and mechanical properties.
