Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite sealing material combining methylsilicone base resin with phenylsilicone modifiers and specific additives, achieving a material that simultaneously provides heat resistance, low tack, and improved workability that neither component could achieve alone

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If conventional silicone sealing members are used, then sealing function is provided, but garbage easily adheres to the sealing member surface

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces conventional mechanical tack evaluation methods with a contact angle measurement system that uses liquid droplet behavior to quantify surface tackiness, achieving accurate measurement of low-tack viscoelastic materials through optical and surface tension principles rather than mechanical force

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
