Does silicone rubber shrink with heat?
Polymers like silicone rubber shrink on heating as their molecular chains curl up. Silicone is an elastomer with a large thermal expansion coefficient. Therefore, when making and design the molds of silicone rubber products, the shrinkage rate should be considered. Due to the different shrinkage rates of different materials, the size can be increased or decreased according to the situation.
