Silicone Rubber

Silicone Rubber (VMQ and FMVQ) is a highly versatile elastomer that can be used in many diverse sectors. Industrial grades of silicone rubber are generally based on polydimethylsiloxanes, partially substituted with other organic groups such as alkyl, vinyl or phenyl, which respectively regulate the processability, reticulation and resistance to low temperatures.


CHARACTERISTICS :

Thanks to a unique combination of chemical-physical properties, silicone rubber compounds possess remarkable characteristics.

● A wide temperature application depending on the grade from -150°C to +250°C with peaks up to +300°C.

● Flexibility, resilience and steady sealing properties at a wide range of temperatures.

● Excellent resistant to atmospheric agents such as rain, snow, humidity, sunlight und UV light.

● Long-lasting and excellent insulating properties.

● Natural resistance to fire and toxic-free combustion products.

● Wide hardness range (from 10 to 90 ShA).

● Easy to colour (from transparent to opaque and from fluorescent to textured or glittered).

SOME APPLICATIONS :

  • Kitchen moulds and other tools.

  • Hoses for water.

  • Gaskets for the automotive sector.

  • Turbocharger hoses .

  • Wire and cables insulation and sheathing.
