What is the curing temperature of liquid silicone at room temperature?

When it comes to liquid silicone curing, it depends on what kind of silicone it is. There are room temperature types and high temperature types. The room temperature type can be cured in the natural environment. The high temperature type is generally about 150 to 180 degrees, and the low temperature is 60 degrees. The general silicone temperature is Between -50℃~200℃.
The main chain of silica gel is mainly Si-O units, with monovalent organic groups as side groups. It is a linear polymer elastomer with both inorganic and organic properties. Silicone rubber adhesive is composed of adhesives, cross-linking agents, catalysts, and reinforcing agents. One-component or two-component adhesive composed of , tackifier and heat stabilizer.
According to the vulcanization temperature and usage method, it can be divided into two categories: heating vulcanization (i.e. curing) and room temperature vulcanization. The one-component room temperature vulcanization adhesive is simpler and more convenient to use. The curing speed of silicone gel has a great influence on the ambient temperature. If you need to speed up the curing speed, you can appropriately heat and humidify it according to your own conditions. When the one-time unused glue is used again, the cured glue at the front of the glue nozzle needs to be removed before gluing.
How the product achieves good curing performance: When curing organic silicone, it absorbs moisture from the air for curing. Under the temperature conditions of 25°C and 50% R.H., the curing time requires more than 24 hours.
The curing conditions of one-component silicone depend on temperature and humidity. In winter, when the temperature and humidity are low, the surface drying and curing speed becomes slower. In summer, when the temperature and humidity are high, the surface drying and curing speed become faster. Liquid silicone is generally cured at room temperature around 25-60 degrees.
