Author: Site Editor      Publish Time: 2016-08-31      Origin: Site

Silicone rubber is a unique, extremely flexible synthetic elastomer. It is also versatile and easy to color, making it simple to manufacture.

High-quality silicone rubber is resistant to aging, heat, and sunlight, as well as many oils and chemicals. Silicone rubber is suitable for rubber components used in high temperature environments.

In addition, silicone can be exposed to wind, rain and UV rays for extended periods of time with virtually no change in its physical properties. Additional material properties include:

  • High and low temperature stability
  • Compression resistance
  • Tear strength
  • Varying degrees of hardness and softness
