Rubber Gaskets

Silicone has excellent weathering properties and handles both hot and cold temperature extremes; resists ozone and oxygen attack. A long service life can be expected at 200°F to 400°F (93°C to 204°C). Silicone rubber sheet has poor resistance to oils, fuels, and hydrocarbons. Fair performance when exposed to acids, alkalis and solvents. Physical properties (tensile, abrasion, tear and cut growth) are fair. Because silicone is odorless and tasteless, it is ideal for certain surgical and food processing applications.
