Silicone Rubber
Rane Elastomer Processors offers Silicone Rubber
Product & Technology News
- Silicone rubber retains its physical organic elastomers particularly when subjected to extremely low or high temperatures; it solves design problems that demand elastomers to stay rubber after long exposures of high temperatures
- Good tensile strength at elevated temperatures in comparison to organic rubber silicone rubber retains a much greater percentage of its room temperature tensile strength at high temperatures; good elongation characteristics, ultimate value range to 700%m
- Wide range of hardness 15 to 80 Durometer; the designer is free to select the desired hardness that best fits a specific function; good tear strength – up to 250 ppi and resistance to tear propagation; excellent resistance to compression set at elevated temperatures up to 200°C
- Good resilience – quick recovery after deflection; electrically, long-term aging at high temperatures produces only minimal change in properties; and dielectric stability is relatively unaffected by frequent or extreme temperature fluctuations
- Because silicone rubber retains its physical integrity in environmental extremes, electrical failures due to cracked insulation are sharply reduced; when exposed to intense flame, silicone rubber remains non-conducive and does not carbonise; under environmental extremes rubber is unmatched in performance when subjected to weathering, ozone and corona, attack by many oils, chemicals and fungi, low pressure steam, water and radiation exposure
