Global Conductive Silicone Market Definition

Silicon material that is filled with carbon and possesses good sensing properties is known as conductive silicone. Its electrical resistance may vary with deformation or compression. Conductive silicone is a perfect option for deformation sensors. They possess certain advantages such as heat resistance, electrical conductivity, moisture resistance, flexibility, easy assembly, low-temperature processability, and are environmentally mild. Conductive silicone is used in a wide range of applications such as bonding, fastening, printing, coating, and others. Conductive silicone rubbers are conductive compounds possessing strong elasticity, high flexibility, and enhanced mechanical properties.

They exhibit excellent thermal and electrical conductance. Furthermore, they exhibit resistance to heat, cold, and other adverse weather conditions. As compared to a conventional metallic conductor, conductive silicone rubber is highly flexible and resistant to corrosion owing to its low density and high elasticity. Usage of conductive silicone rubber provides excellent electromagnetic shielding effect along with protection from electrostatic discharge in its electrical applications. Conductive silicone rubbers are prepared by curing silicone rubbers at room temperature. Silicone rubbers are manufactured by silicones that are the polymer of silicon, containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and other elements at times.

Conductive fillers are added during the curing process to impart conductive properties in silicone rubbers. Several types of conductive fillers such as carbon fibers, carbon black, copper fibers, and nickel-coated graphite are used as reinforcement agents in conductive silicone rubbers. The silicone rubber that is manufactured can be molded into various shapes such as sheets and strips based on commercial requirement. Conductive silicone rubbers are widely used in several end-user industries due to their thermal and electrical conductivity properties.

End-user industries such as electrical, electronics, automotive, defense & aerospace, and heavy industrial machineries experience broad usage of conductive silicone rubber. Electrically conductive silicone rubber is used in wires, cables, EMI shielding gaskets, and ESD shielding applications in electrical and electronics industries. Conductive silicone rubbers are used in EMP protection and wave guide application. They are used in military and aerospace equipment owing to their EMI shielding effects. Silicone rubber is used in car engines and wiring harness in the automotive industry. It is also used in automotive to detect the presence of deformation.
