Why use Silicone Rubber?
Silicone Rubber has these special characteristics and advantages:
·Wide temperature range of use, -50ºF to 500ºF (-65 F with certain grades)
·Constant modulus over entire temperature range, resulting in low mechanical stress
·Inert, odorless, tasteless, non-staining - ideal for medical and food applications
·High resistance to weathering including resistance to Ozone, Ultraviolet, and oxidation
·Excellent electrical qualities - many superior dielectric and insulation characteristics
·Superior resistance to many chemicals
·Widest range of Hardness available of any elastomer -15 to 85 shore A
·Superior water resistance - low water adsorption
·Natural release characteristics – low coefficient of friction
