Crystal Clear Silicone Vs Clear Silicone
| Feature | Clear Silicone | Crystal Clear Silicone |
Long Term Heat Exposure | -30°C-150°C | -40°C-230°C |
Curing System | Peroxide Cure | Platinum Cure |
| Tear& Tensile Strength | Lower | High |
| Appearance | Translucent (misty) | Ultra clear (like water) |
| Cost | low cost | higher cost |
Clear silicone focuses on transparency, but crystal clear silicone focuses on both transparency and heat resistance.
| Feature | Crystal Clear Silicone | Optical Clear Silicone |
| Raw Material Type | High-performance industrial grade, may add special formulations | Dedicated optical silcone raw materials,add special formulations |
| Light Transmittance | Relatively high, about 85-90% | ≥94% (extremely high) |
| Haze | Relatively low, about <3%-5% | < 1% |
| Yellowness | Good, not easy to yellowing under high heat | Extremely low, with strict post-aging yellowness requirements for UV and blue light stability |
| Contamination Control | Industrial-grade clean environment, allows for tiny impurities | Ultra-clean environment, stringent requirements for particles, bubbles, and extractables |
| Applicationn | Automotive interior optical parts, sensor windows, oral care silicone parts, pacifier components, heat resistant appliance parts | Precision optics:LED/laser packaging, fiber optic couplers, AR/VR waveguides, precision imaging lenses |
| Cost | Medium to high | Very high |
In a word, high transparent silicone will keep transparent without yellowing in heat exposure condition. Clear high temp silicone is rather suitable for those applications where light needs to pass through, but optical quality requirements are low.
Suitable Molding Process
Generally speaking high transparent silicone is also belong to liquid silicone rubber (LSR ). It mainly produced by liquid silicone rubber injection molding. Clear high heat silicone is mainly produced through low-temperature vulcanization, which maintain clarity and reduces thermal stress on components. RTV casting moulding and compressed molding are not suitable for manufacturing crystal clear silicone rubber.

Main Defects for Crystal Clear Silicone
High clear silicone material will show the defects of black spots, bubbles and surface contamination more easily. Besides insufficient filling and air trapping will be the main common defects in manufacturing process. It may cause defects such as incomplete edges, trapped air marks, weld lines,milky products, etc.
How We Control the Defects
First, it is very important to carry out incoming material inspection.
Second, mold cleanliness checking is also a must.
Third, process parameter control will affect the quality of the whole batch.
Fourth, our engineers will optimize venting and gate design to reduce air entrapment problem and flow marks during mold design. Venting design is very crucial for best crystal clear silicone. Transparent LSR requires a better mold surface so as to achieve high-transparency products. Therefore, higher-grade steel and electroplating effect are requested for mold making, and these will affect the product appearance. In this case, S316 ,P20 and S718 steel are more suitable for the mold material due to their good mirror polish-ability and steel cleanliness.
Fifth, stricter visual inspection will be required for the heat proof clear silicone parts.
Sixth, good protective packaging for platinum cure clear silicone will directly affect the cleanliness and overall perfection of the finished product.
