In the field of high-end sealing materials, hydroxy phenyl silicone rubber is becoming a significant breakthrough in the specialty rubber products industry due to its unique molecular structure and exceptional performance. This novel material, which combines the radiation resistance of phenyl silicone rubber with the active functional groups of hydroxyl, offers innovative solutions for addressing sealing and bonding challenges in extreme environments.

The core value of hydroxy phenyl silicone rubber lies in the active hydroxyl groups at its molecular terminals. This special structure not only allows it to inherit the excellent low-temperature resistance (withstanding extreme environments as low as -100°C) and radiation resistance (withstanding doses up to 1×10^6 Gy) of phenyl silicone rubber but also endows the material with exceptional reactivity. Experimental data indicate that while maintaining a tensile strength ≥6.5 MPa, the material can achieve an elongation at break exceeding 350%, and retain over 80% of its original mechanical properties after 168 hours of thermal aging at 200°C.

In the aerospace sector, hydroxy phenyl silicone rubber demonstrates unique advantages. As a base polymer for RTV sealants, it can be used in critical applications such as spacecraft window sealing and instrument module bonding. Particularly in space radiation environments, the material's stability far surpasses that of ordinary silicone rubbers. Measurement data from a certain satellite model show that seals prepared using hydroxy phenyl silicone rubber experienced less than 15% performance degradation after three years of orbital operation.

Beyond aerospace applications, this material is equally indispensable in the sealing of nuclear power plant equipment. Its exceptional radiation resistance makes it the material of choice for sealing equipment around nuclear reactors, where it can effectively maintain sealing integrity under accident conditions. Meanwhile, in the high-end electronics field, hydroxy phenyl silicone rubber is used for encapsulating and protecting precision sensors, with its dimensional stability under extreme temperature cycling providing reliable protection for sensitive components.

With the continuous development of new material technologies, significant progress has also been made in the modification research of hydroxy phenyl silicone rubber. Through molecular structure design and filler system optimization, new-generation products exhibit significantly improved bonding strength and processing performance while maintaining their original performance advantages. Industry experts note that the ongoing innovation of this multifunctional specialty rubber material will provide crucial material support for the development of China's high-end equipment manufacturing industry.
