When we talk about transparent rubber, we are referring to vulcanized rubber that can transmit light. Based on the level of transparency, it is classified as either transparent or semi-transparent. Transparent rubber can transmit most or all of the visible light, like glass. In contrast, semi-transparent rubber can only transmit a portion of the visible light, leading to a relatively dark and cloudy color. To achieve transparency, transparent rubber must meet three conditions.

Firstly, the raw rubber must be transparent, especially after vulcanization.

Secondly, when combined with rubber and plastic, the chosen plastic should be a polymer with low crystallinity or an amorphous structure, and the solubility parameters of the selected polymer materials should be similar to ensure compatibility.

Thirdly, all additives must have a refractive index similar to that of rubber, and they should not impact the transparency of the rubber. The blending agent must be light-colored, highly pure, and transparent to avoid producing colored pollutants that could react with rubber, plastic, or other blending agents. Finally, the process conditions such as temperature, pressure, and blending conditions should not alter the original optical properties of rubber and admixtures.

CHARACTERISTICS

• Optical Clarity: High transparency silicone rubber has excellent optical clarity, and it can transmit most of the visible light.
• High Purity: High purity is a critical characteristic of transparent silicone rubber to ensure that it is not cloudy or hazy.
• High Tear Strength: High transparency silicone rubber has a high tear strength, which makes it resistant to tearing.
• UV Resistance: Transparent silicone rubber should possess a high degree of UV resistance to maintain its transparency over time.
• Chemical Resistance: It should be resistant to chemicals, including oils, solvents, and acids, which can impact its transparency.

• DHS-1 series is typically suitable for molding application with higher transparency requirements, like keypad, sanitation commodity for living, O-ring, seal ring (parts for industrial use).
