Intrusion-proof waterproof silicone for heaters
1. Использование
The primary usages of this intrusion-proof waterproof silicone include: Sealing the gaps and joints of heater casings, heating elements, and wire outlets to prevent the intrusion of liquid (such as water, coolant, and industrial fluids) and solid particles (such as dust, sand, and debris); Protecting the internal core components of heaters (like heating coils, temperature sensors, and circuit boards) from moisture erosion and corrosion; Enhancing the insulation performance of heaters to avoid short circuits caused by water ingress; And extending the overall service life of heating equipment by reducing wear and tear from external environmental factors.
2. Функция
This silicone material exerts three core functions: First, it forms a dense and flexible sealing barrier that physically blocks the penetration path of water and impurities, achieving reliable waterproof and dustproof effects. Second, it acts as an insulating medium, isolating the conductive components inside the heater from external conductive substances (such as water and humid air) to prevent electrical faults. Third, it has a certain buffer and shock-absorbing effect, reducing the impact of external vibration on the internal structure of the heater and ensuring the stable operation of the heating element. Additionally, it can assist in heat conduction to a certain extent, ensuring uniform heat distribution inside the heater.
3. Функции
The product boasts distinct characteristics that adapt to the harsh working environment of heaters: ① Excellent flexibility and elasticity, with good compression set resistance—even after long-term compression at high temperatures, it can quickly recover its original shape, maintaining effective sealing performance. ② Outstanding high-temperature resistance, capable of withstanding a wide temperature range (typically -40℃ to 200℃, and up to 250℃ for special grades) without aging, cracking, or losing performance, which is fully compatible with the working temperature of most heaters. ③ Strong chemical resistance, being inert to common industrial fluids, oils, and corrosive gases, thus avoiding material degradation caused by chemical reactions. ④ Good adhesion, firmly bonding to various substrate materials of heaters (such as metal, пластик, and ceramic) without peeling off easily. ⑤ Environmentally friendly and non-toxic, complying with international environmental standards and suitable for applications in household and food-related heating equipment.
4. Преимущества
Compared with traditional sealing and protective materials (such as rubber, asbestos, and ordinary silicone), this intrusion-proof waterproof silicone for heaters has obvious advantages: ① Higher waterproof and dustproof level, reaching IP67 or above, which can adapt to harsh environments such as high humidity, heavy dust, and even short-term immersion. ② Longer service life—under normal working conditions, its service life is 2-3 times that of ordinary rubber materials, reducing the frequency of equipment maintenance and replacement. ③ Wider applicability, being suitable for various types of heaters (such as industrial electric heaters, household water heaters, automotive heaters, and medical heating equipment) and adapting to different structural designs. ④ Easier construction, available in various forms such as coating, sheet, and sealant, which can be customized according to actual needs, simplifying the production and assembly process of heaters. ⑤ Cost-effectiveness—although the initial material cost is slightly higher, the long-term maintenance cost savings and the reduction of equipment failure losses make it more cost-effective overall.
5. Сценарии применения
This product is widely used in multiple fields where heaters are involved, включая: ① Industrial field: Sealing and protection of industrial electric heating pipes, heating furnaces, and thermal oil heaters in chemical, textile, and machinery manufacturing industries, adapting to high-temperature and dusty industrial environments. ② Household field: Sealing of water heaters (electric water heaters, gas water heaters), air conditioners (auxiliary heating components), and electric heaters, ensuring the safety of household electrical use. ③ Automotive field: Waterproof and dustproof protection of automotive engine heaters, seat heaters, and rear window defrosters, withstanding the harsh conditions of vehicle vibration, temperature changes, and rain erosion. ④ Medical field: Sealing of heating components in medical equipment such as incubators, sterilizers, and thermal therapy instruments, complying with the high hygiene and stability requirements of medical devices. ⑤ Outdoor field: Protection of outdoor heating equipment such as outdoor electric fireplaces, solar water heater auxiliary heaters, and outdoor breeding heaters, resisting wind, rain, and dust.
