3. Silicone’s Reliable
Performance
Silicones thrive on
challenges,
including exposure
to extreme heat,
extreme cold, and
harsh chemicals.
 Silicones resist oxidative
deterioration (normal aging)
for decades on end.
 They are stable over a wide
range of temperatures, from -
100 to 300°C (about -150 to
575°F)
 Silicones resist moisture,
pressure, salt spray,
mechanical fluids, and UV
light
 They have stable electrical
resistance properties

4. Silicones have true
advantages in many
Fluid Sealing
applications
When the
materials of
choice for
performance
must meet
stringent
applications
silicon is often
an elastomer of
choice.
 Perform reliably in extreme
conditions of temperature,
pressure, or chemical
exposure
 Maintain flexibility,
resiliency, and the ability to
transmit mechanical sealing
force at both high and low
temperatures.
 Cost effective as compared to
other elastomers.

FINALLY
Silicone elastomers provide real advantages in sealing
applications considering their wide range of applications.
