Key Properties of Silicone Elastomers

Temperature range

  • Maintains performance from extreme cold to high heat. Operates reliably across wide temperature ranges.

Durability 

  • Designed for long-term mechanical performance. Resists wear, aging, and environmental stress.

Flexibility

  • Retains elasticity under varying conditions. Supports dynamic and sealing applications.

Low compression set

  • Maintains sealing force after repeated compression. Ensures long-term shape recovery.

Flame retardancy

  • Inherently resistant to ignition and flame spread. Suitable for safety-critical applications.

Electrical insulation 

  • Provides stable dielectric performance. Ideal for electrical and electronic components.

Weather resistance

  • Resists UV, ozone, and environmental exposure. Performs reliably in outdoor applications.

Hydrophobicity

  • Naturally repels water and moisture. Supports waterproof and sealing designs.
