Silicone Rubber Seals are a type of specialized sealing material that offers a wide variety of benefits to a range of industries. These include exceptional resistance to heat and cold, ozone and weather resistance, low conductivity, flame retardant properties, and a host of other advanced capabilities.
These seals are ideal for use in a range of industries, including: electrical applications; automotive; cooking, baking and food storage; medical devices; electronics; and more. These seals are available in a variety of sizes and shapes to ensure an optimal fit with your application.
Sponge silicone and foam silicone are the two main types of silicone used for this purpose. Foam silicone is generally more durable than sponge silicone, although it doesn't offer as much cushioning or padding.
General silicone rubber is resistant to most oils and chemicals, but it has limited resistance to hydrogen and aromatic oil. This makes it not suitable for oil-resistant seal products.
Specialized silicone rubber is more versatile than general silicone. It has high ozone and weather resistance, radiation resistance, and oil and chemical resistance.
It can be easily molded into a variety of different parts, including cylinder seals, gaskets, gasket sheets, and more. It is typically cured using liquid injection molding (LIM), which allows for the creation of complex molded shapes quickly and consistently.
