Silicone seals are highly versatile and commonly used in various industries due to their exceptional properties. These seals are typically made from a silicone-based rubber material that exhibits excellent flexibility, durability, and resistance to extreme temperatures, moisture, and chemicals. Their ability to maintain a reliable seal even in harsh conditions makes them ideal for applications in Automotive, Aerospace, and manufacturing sectors. Silicone seals are known for their superior performance in sealing joints, preventing leaks, and providing insulation against sound and vibration. Furthermore, their non-reactive nature makes them compatible with a wide range of substances, ensuring long-lasting and reliable sealing solutions. With their exceptional properties and widespread use, silicone seals have become an indispensable component in numerous industries, offering reliability and efficiency in critical applications.

Features and Benefits:

There are many different compounds of Silicone rubber, each of these having their own key characteristics, for example; metal detectable, extreme low temperature, extreme high temperature, high tear strength, electrically conductive, steam resistance, oil/acid/gas/chemical resistance and flame-retardant. Silicone has an excellent temperature range of -120°C up to +300°C.

Silicone also has a specific FDA approved compound. If a material, such as silicone, is FDA grade it means that it is able to be used in applications that will come into contact with products that people will ingest. This is typically for the Food and Beverage industry or the Pharmaceutical industry.

Industries:

The wide range of properties that silicone has and the different compounds that it can come in, silicone can be used in many different industries. As stated before, Silicone is able to be used in the Food & beverage as well as the Medical industry, this is because of the FDA grading as well as the materials durability. Silicone is also effective in the Automotive and Aerospace industries. Silicone will be used in these areas because of its wide temperature range and excellent weather and sunlight resistance. As silicone has good electrically insulative properties it can be used in many different applications in the Electronics industry. Finally silicone works great in water because of its water resistance, making it a great material for seals used in Oil & Gas and Subsea industries.

Summary:

• Excellent temperature range, -120°C to +300°C.

• FDA graded, can be used in applications in production of products for human consumption.

• Insulated for use in the electrical industry.

• Excellent retention of flexibility and compression set.
