With over 2000 existing formulations we’re confident that we have the answer to your silicone requirements. Why Silicone Rubber? Silicone rubber is an amazing material. Widely used in a variety of industries, it is generally non-reactive, stable, and resistant to extreme environments, stresses and temperatures which is why we have made it our life’s work. High-temperature silicone rubber for virtually any application Silicone rubber (or, to give it its scientific name, Poly-Siloxane) is an amazing material. It is an inorganic synthetic elastomer, made from a cross-linked silicon-based polymer and offers a unique combination of chemical and mechanical properties, which organic elastomers cannot match. Widely used in a wide variety of industries, it is generally non-reactive, stable, and resistant to extreme environments, stresses and temperatures. Weathering Silicone rubber has incredible resistance to weathering and environmental influences. Over time, there is very little change to the properties of silicone when exposed to the elements. High-temperature silicone rubber is also resistant to ozone, oxidation, ultraviolet light, corona discharge, cosmic radiation, ionising radiation and general weathering. Lifespan of general-purpose silicone rubber As a rule of thumb, a chemical reaction is increased exponentially for every 10°C increase in temperature. It is likely that the lifespan of a general-purpose silicone is halved for every 10°C above its intended use. Therefore, the lifespan of a general-purpose silicone operating at a high temperature of +250°C would be reduced significantly. This could have a serious impact on the intended performance of your silicone rubber products. Experts at Silicone Engineering will advise you of the right silicone material for your application. Specialist silicone materials Silicone Engineering offers specialist materials for more demanding applications or environments. These have been continuously developed, refined and improved to deliver an impressive range of silicone formulations that comply with industry standards and meet ever-changing customer needs.
