Silicone rubber heaters used in industrial machinery, automotive, or aerospace applications may detach due to prolonged vibration, leading to heating failure or safety risks.
1. Optimizing bonding materials and processes:
High-strength adhesives: Use vibration-resistant epoxy or silicone-specific glue (e.g., 3M™ Scotch-Weld™).
Surface preparation: Clean surfaces (remove oil/oxide) and apply primers if needed.
Curing process: Some adhesives require heat/pressure for full bonding.
2.Mechanical reinforcement design
Metal clamps: Secure edges with stainless steel clips/bolts to distribute vibration stress.
Edge protection: Wrap edges with high-temp silicone or metal foil.
Riveting: Drill holes and rivet thick heaters (ensure insulation).
3.Structural design improvements:
Cushion layers: Add silicone foam or fiberglass pads to absorb vibrations.
Zoned fixation: For large heaters, combine adhesive + mechanical fixes in sections.
4.Material Upgrade:
High-elasticity silicone: Use tear-resistant silicone (Shore A 50-70).
Reinforced wires: Nickel-plated or armored wires resist breakage.
Industry Application Cases:
EV battery heating: Heaters clamped with aluminum plates, passing IP67 vibration tests.
Pipe heating: High-temp glue + stainless steel straps every 20cm.
Solution: Combine adhesive + mechanical fixes + material upgrades, validated by testing.
