Silicone has excellent weathering properties and handles both hot and cold temperature extremes; resists ozone and oxygen attack. Silicone rubber has poor resistance to oils, fuels, and hydrocarbons.  Fair performance when exposed to acids, alkalis and solvents.  

Silicone rubber is a high-performance elastomer with exceptional resistance to temperature extremes. Molded  silicone gaskets, Silicone O-Ring... remain functional within a temperature range of -76°F to +428°F. The low temperature flexibility of silicone is unmatched by any other elastomer. Silicone has outstanding tensile strength, elongation, tear strength, and compression set. The versatility and long service life of silicone make it ideal for a wide variety of applications.

FDA (Food Grade) Silicone Gaskets and Seals
Our FDA approved silicone products are fabricated to meet all of your blueprint specifications and tolerance requirements in order to suit your particular application. All food grade silicone products we manufacture are FDA compliant. A long service life can be expected at 212°F to 400°F.  Food Grade (FDA) silicone is odorless, tasteless, peroxide-free, and fungus resistant making it ideal in applications where food is present.

Fluorosilicone Gaskets and Seals (FVMQ)
Similar to silicone, fluorosilicone (fluorinated silicone rubber) is intended for applications where there is contact with petroleum-based chemicals. However fluorosilicone can withstand more extreme temperatures and has superior chemical resistance properties to fuels, coolants and oils than standard silicone.
