One cannot simply rely on the data of the product's benzene-based silicone rubber 2660 regarding its temperature resistance up to 350°C or its radiation resistance properties to directly determine that it is suitable for all sealing and functional components in high-temperature and high-radiation environments. One must first confirm the usage temperature, radiation dose, curing system, molding process, hardness requirements, and medium contact conditions, and then determine whether the problem arises from insufficient benzene content in the raw material, insufficient curing, or poor compatibility with fillers and the substrate. Product benzene-based silicone rubber 2660 can be considered as a candidate for high-temperature and radiation-resistant silicone rubber, but it must be confirmed through small-scale tests, curing verification, and actual working condition assessment.
Why does benzene-based silicone rubber often fail to achieve the expected results in high-temperature and radiation sealing?
The benzene content of the raw material does not match the target temperature and radiation resistance grade, resulting in rapid property degradation under long-term high temperatures.
The type or dosage of the curing agent is inappropriate, and the bis-dioctyl, bis-dioctyl, and platinum curing systems have a significant impact on the crosslink density and heat resistance.
Insufficient one-stage curing temperature or time, and insufficient two-stage curing, leading to an incomplete crosslink network and a large amount of compressive permanent deformation.
The compatibility of the filler system with the benzene-based raw material is poor, affecting the mechanical strength and radiation resistance performance.
The radiation dose or dose rate exceeds the verification range, while the material can withstand high temperatures but has insufficient radiation resistance.
The molding process (compression molding, injection molding, extrusion) parameters do not match, resulting in internal air holes or defects in the product, reducing the sealing reliability.
The presence of oil, solvents, or chemical media in the usage environment causes swelling or degradation of the benzene-based silicone rubber.
The hardness selection of the product is inappropriate, and high-hardness sealing components are prone to losing elasticity under low temperatures or vibration conditions.
When switching from ordinary methyl vinyl silicone rubber, the curing system, fillers, and molding process are not adjusted, resulting in performance deviations from the target.
Improper storage conditions, such as moisture absorption or expiration of the mixed rubber, affect the curing quality and consistency of the product.
What are the public parameters of product benzene-based silicone rubber 2660?
Item Before one-stage curing After two-stage curing (200°C × 2h)
Shore A hardness 59 65
Tensile strength (MPa) 12 11
Break elongation (%) 390 350

Radiation resistance: In a radiation environment of 10 to the power of 3 to 4 times kilogray gamma rays, the strength is greater than 7 megapascals, and the elongation is greater than 200%.
These data are typical performance of the product and are not the factory standards. Formal procurement and batch acceptance should be based on the effective TDS, specification documents, and delivery batch COA confirmed by both parties.

However, when used in actual systems, there may still be:
Variations in phenyl content and molecular weight between rubber batches.

What selection support can Aytota provide?
As a "provider of the organic silicon全产业链 solutions", Aytota can assist in comparing the applicability of benzoyl silicone rubber 2660 in different operating temperatures, radiation doses, curing systems and molding processes.
For electronic electrical, aerospace, military or medical projects that need to balance high temperature resistance, radiation resistance, ablation resistance and sealing reliability, the following information should be provided before selection:
Operating temperature range and temperature cycling conditions.
Gamma radiation dose, dose rate and cumulative dose.
Hardness and compression ratio requirements.
Curing system and molding process.
One-stage and two-stage curing conditions.
Type and concentration of contact media.
Target mechanical properties, radiation resistance retention rate and sealing reliability.
Current silicone rubber model, curing system and failure performance.
After receiving complete materials, it can be determined whether to prioritize testing product 2660, or choose benzyl silicone rubber, fluorosilicone rubber or other high-temperature and radiation-resistant elastomers routes.
Common misunderstandings
350℃ of temperature can be used for a long time at 350℃
The long-term operating temperature needs to be comprehensively evaluated considering the thermal aging life, compression permanent deformation and medium environment, and cannot be judged solely based on short-term temperature resistance data.
Radiation data can cover all radiation environments
Radiation performance is related to dose, dose rate and cumulative time, and needs to be verified under actual radiation conditions.
Product 2660 can be freely interchanged with ordinary methyl vinyl silicone rubber
The benzyl content, high-temperature and radiation resistance performance and cost of benzoyl silicone rubber are significantly different from ordinary silicone rubber, and the curing system, fillers and molding process need to be re-adjusted when replacing.
The more sulfurizing agents added, the more fully cross-linked
Excessive sulfurizing agents may lead to excessive cross-linking, brittle products or bubble formation, and the optimal dosage needs to be determined through small-scale tests.
The final performance can be achieved after one-stage curing
Two-stage curing is crucial for the completion of the cross-linking network and the removal of volatile substances, and should be carried out according to the recommended conditions.
Compatibility with the substrate means it can be directly added to the in-use system
It is still necessary to confirm the fillers, sulfurizing agents, molding conditions and long-term stability.
Silicone rubbers with different levels of phenyl content may have different temperature resistance, radiation resistance and low-temperature performance.
Product 2660 can be used in all high-radiation environments.
Phenyl silicone rubber has excellent radiation resistance, but the specific dose range needs to be verified based on actual working conditions.
Molded rubber can be stored for a long time.
Molded rubber has an expiration date limit. Improper storage conditions may cause scorching or performance degradation. It should be used within the expiration period.
