• Excellent resistance to heat (dry air), at +200°C continuous and +220°C intermittent.
• Remains flexible at low temperatures of -70°C.
• Resistant to ultra-violet light, ozone and weathering.
• Exhibits low flammability and low smoke toxicity.
• Good electrical insulation properties.
• Silicone rubber is physiologically inert, thus making it the preferred choice of the medical, pharmaceutical and food processing industries.
• Silicones have comparatively low mechanical properties, tensile strength, elongation and tear strength, however they keep constant even at high temperatures but should not be used with high pressure steam.
• Resistance to chemicals; its resistance to oils and hydrocarbon products is fairly limited and similar to that of Chloroprene rubbers. Reasonable resistance to a whole range of general chemical products, but acids, alkalis, esters and ketone should be avoided.
