General Information
Silicone is a rubber that is extraordinarily stable at extreme temperatures and retains excellent flexibility at low temperatures. It is also highly resistant to compression, sunlight, ozone, oxygen and humidity. Due to its inert characteristics, it is widely used in medical, pharmaceutical and food applications as it leaves no trace of smell or taste. Silicone can be formulated to be electrically resistive or conductive, or flame retardant. Low temperatures do not cause stiffness or solidification. It is not attacked by most oils and greases. It has good resistance to chemical products in general. Silicone rubbers are the best form of electrical insulation within a temperature range of -40 ºC to +200 ºC.

SleevesWe manufacture vulcanised sleeves in any type of rubber (SBR, NBR, EPDM, silicone, Viton®, etc.) using a hot-vulcanising technique to form a bevel joint, which is more flexible, long-lasting and smoother than other joints. For further information go to the Download section |
