Protect
electrical systems from environmental contaminants
Seal out the harsh conditions of the engine compartment.
Your automotive electrical components are only as effective as the
performance of the complex harnesses, electrical connectors, and seals on which
they rely. Using Silastic® brand silicone elastomers in O-rings,
grommets, and seals ensures ease-of-assembly, maintenance, and ongoing
reliability.
Improve your manufacturing options and process efficiency
-
Silastic high-consistency rubber (HCR) elastomers can be molded
or extruded
-
Silastic liquid silicone rubber (LSR) elastomers can be molded, injection molded, or overmolded, enabling process automation to
quickly and easily fabricate intricate parts
-
Silastic fluoro liquid
silicone rubber (F-LSR) extends your process options while accommodating
specific market needs for fuel- and solvent-resistant applications
Withstand fuel, oil, and solvents
Add resistance to fuel, oil, and solvents for environments that would degrade
organic rubbers with high-performance Silastic high consistency fluorosilicone rubber (FSR)
elastomers or SILASTIC fluoro liquid
silicone rubber (F-LSR).
Simplify assembly and maintenance
Self-lubricating Silastic silicone rubber elastomers provide:
-
Trouble-free assembly of components
-
Easy insertion and extraction of gaskets and connector seals
-
Ability to meet difficult insertion/extraction test requirements
Ensure protection for your electrical systems
SILASTIC silicone 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
-
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 elongation properties longer than organic elastomers and at
higher temperatures
