Description

Properties:

• Excellent resistance to heat (dry air), at ***0 C continuous

• Resistant to ultra-violet light, ozone and weathering.

• Exhibits low flammability and low smoke toxicity.

• Good electrical insulation properties.

• making it the preferred choice of the medical, pharmaceutical and food processing industries.

• Silicones have comparatively low mechanical properties, tensile strength, elongation and tear strength, however they keep constant even at high temperatures but should not be used with high pressure steam.

• Resistance to chemicals; its resistance to oils and hydrocarbon products is fairly limited and similar to that of Chloroprene rubbers. Reasonable resistance to a whole range of general chemical products, but acids, alkalis, esters and ketone should be avoided
