Scientific name:
vinyl methyl silsesquioxane
Chemical composition:
2C+SiO2
Material description:
Translucent material with a smooth surface and thickness from 0.5 to 4.0 mm.
It’s waterproof and resistant to ozone and UV. It’s temperature range goes
from -55 to 300 C.Silicone rubber is an elastomer composed of silicone—itself
a polymer—containin silicon together with carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Translucent silicone rubber is chemically inert with no odor oroutgassing
properties in its solid state. Translucent rubber maintains good tensile strength
for a thinner material. Also meets FDA standards.
Extraction process:
silicones are mixed inorganic-organic polymers with the chemical formula
[R2SiO]n, where R is an organic group such as methyl, ethyl, or phenyl.
Basic properties:
Compressive strength: 20 MPa
Tensile strength: 9.0 MPa
Stiffness: 60 Shore
Carbon footprint average:
Recyclable: Yes
Laser: Yes
Small laser: Yes
Milling: Yes
3D printing: No
