Repost: Two-stage (baking) vulcanization of silicone rubber

Mar 02,2026

After a first-stage vulcanization, since the temperature (150℃) is relatively low, some low-molecular-weight substances still remain in the vulcanized rubber, thereby affecting the product’s performance. For example, in silicone rubbers vulcanized with BP or DCBP, the acidic substances—such as benzoic acid—that are generated from the decomposition of the vulcanizing agent remain in the vulcanized rubber after the first-stage vulcanization. When the product is used under high-temperature, sealed conditions above 200℃, these substances cause cracking, leading to a significant drop in hardness and a sharp deterioration in physical and mechanical properties, ultimately rendering the product unusable. To address this issue, a second-stage vulcanization is required to remove various low-molecular-weight substances from the rubber. Moreover, the second-stage vulcanization can also eliminate moisture or crystal water from fillers, thereby preventing hydrolytic aging of silicone rubber products during use or storage.
