Material and function
Silicone rubber is used for temperature-sensitive sealing, electrical insulation and weather-exposed parts. Its mechanical strength and resistance to many oils are limited compared with several other elastomers; confirm the compound for the media and loading.
Benefits and options
- Temperature-sensitive sealing
- Electrical insulation
- Color and hardness choices for the component
Manufacturing and customization
Extrusion forms a continuous cross-section. Profiles can be cut to length, joined or fitted with attachment features according to the assembly and selected material.
Design considerations
Select the material grade for contact media, operating temperature and mechanical loading. Include the installed compression, mating surfaces and expected service conditions when reviewing the component. Confirm performance using the selected compound and a representative sample.
