Silicone
Silicone refers to a group of synthetic polymers in which silicon atoms are linked through oxygen atoms. This material offers a unique combination of properties not achieved by other rubbers—most notably, it retains high flexibility even at very low temperatures without significant loss of elasticity. A drawback of silicones is lower abrasion resistance; nevertheless, due to their temperature stability and resistance to UV radiation and chemicals, they are often used for the production of seals in the food, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors.
Not sure which material is right for your application?
Tell us your operating conditions and we will help you choose the right solution:
- Operating medium (oil, water, air, chemicals, etc.)
- Working pressure and temperature
- Whether the seal is used in a dynamic or static application
- Dimensions or a physical sample
Based on this information, we will recommend the most suitable material and design, and prepare a non-binding quotation.
