Is rubber better than silicone?

Open in App

Solution

Explanation:
Silicone is created using silicon and oxygen, whereas rubber is created using carbon-carbon bonds.
Rubber is less resistant to heat, chemicals, fungi, ultraviolet light, and ozone.
Because silicone has a higher heat resistance than natural rubbers, it can be used to complete insulation more efficiently.
Silicone has a longer life expectancy than elastomers.
Hence, silicone is much better than rubber.
