Fabricated Silicone Rubber Gaskets

• Temperature Resistant – Silicone rubber is thermally stable over large temperature ranges from -60°C to + 200°C (and higher for specialist grades).
• UV and Ozone Resistance – Silicone rubber has excellent UV and Ozone resistance, making it an ideal material choice for outdoor and long-term applications.
• Electrical Insulation – Silicone rubber exhibits high electrical insulation properties. It is frequently used to make gaskets and seals used for electrical enclosures.
• Excellent Moisture Resistance – Silicone rubber can be immersed in cold, warm or boiling water for long periods of time with virtually no effect on mechanical strength or electrical properties.
• Chemical Stability – Silicone rubber is highly inert and does not react with most chemicals. It is biocompatible and hypoallergenic and is suitable for use in food contact and baby care products.
• Flame Retardant – Specialist additives can be added to silicone rubber compounds to give them flame retardant properties.
• Steam Resistant – Silicone rubber is generally not deteriorated by steam at normal pressures. Special grades of silicone are available which have greater resistance to superheated or pressurised steam.
