Silicone Rubber

Silicone rubber offers stability over a wide temperature range, resistance to harsh environments, and long lasting performance exceeding many organic elastomers. Silicone rubber offers incredible resistance to extreme temperatures, being able to operate normally from minus 100°C to plus 250°C. When compared to natural rubbers, silicone has better fire resistant properties and is an excellent electrical insulator. Thermal stability means that properties such as volume resistivity, dielectric strength and power factor are not affected by changes in temperature. Silicone applications include:

  • Shaft sealing rings
  • Spark plug caps
  • Radiator and automotive heating hoses
  • O-rings
  • Window and door seals
  • Expansion Joints
  • Oven door seals and gaskets
