Silicone
Silicone rubber is an extremely heat-resistant material with excellent aging properties and is well suited in outdoor applications such as seals in IP-classified lighting fixtures, lamps and display seals. The material is very pure and may be acquired FDA graded for food- and medical technology industry and is completely odor- and tasteless. Further examples of the purity of the silicone is that the material may be obtained with WRAS, WRC and ELL which are certifications for drinking water.
The material is fluid repellent and ozone resistant making it well suited for gaskets above the earth in outdoor application or underwater gaskets. Silicone gaskets are frequent in valves, couplings, heat pumps, fittings and water taps.
The silicone is converted by us in multiple ways. The material is die-cut, waterjet cut, molded and extruded to gaskets, seals, seal strips and extruded rubber seals and profiles.
Our silicones, also called VMQ is for short Vinyl-Methyl-Silicone is obtainable in many colors such as transparent, white, red and black. When molding silicone products there’s really no limitation of color. The silicones are available in many various hardnesses with the lowest at 20 shore to harder options of 80 shore.
The silicones temperature properties are extraordinary and withstands temperatures from -60° up to 230° degrees and are normally not flammable. The material is therefore commonly found in ovens and other high temperature products. May also be obtained with a UL94 fire grade.
