Improve
the durability and performance of dynamic and static seals
Extreme performance. Manufacturing flexibility. Compounding
expertise.
When your movable parts or the seal on your product, container, connection, or
assembly must:
-
Operate reliably in extreme conditions of temperature, pressure, or
chemical exposure
-
Prevent air or fluids like water, oil, fuel, and coolants from getting in
or out
-
Maintain its flexibility, resiliency, and ability to transmit mechanical
force at both high and low temperatures
You can rely on the proven performance of Silastic® brand silicone
elastomers and custom
compounding expertise from Dow Corning.
Deliver the high performance your customers require
Silastic silicone elastomers and fluorosilicone
rubber (FSR) elastomers:
-
Have a wider operating temperature range than most organic elastomers
-
Can be tailored or custom compounded to meet extreme or extended heat
resistance requirements
-
Withstand many flexing cycles over a wide temperature range
-
Retain their natural flexibility and continue to perform at low
temperatures that would cause most organic elastomers to become brittle
-
Resist compression set at both high and low temperatures
-
Maintain their properties longer than organic elastomers at higher
temperatures
-
Additionally, Silastic FSR elastomers resist aggressive oils, fuels,
and other fluids that would quickly degrade organic elastomers
Give yourself greater manufacturing flexibility, greater
efficiency
Silastic liquid silicone rubber
(LSR) and fluoro liquid silicone
rubber (F-LSR) elastomers improve processing. They enable you to:
-
Use efficient molding and injection molding processing methods
-
Quickly and easily fabricate intricate parts
