Properties of Silicone Rubber Parts
One of the remarkable characteristics of silicone rubber is its high chemical inertness. It remains unaffected by most chemicals, providing an added layer of security and longevity for your custom parts. This feature makes silicone rubber an exceptional choice in the medical field, where biocompatibility and hypoallergenic properties are paramount. You can trust silicone rubber to deliver safe, effective solutions—be it for baby care items or food-grade applications.
Silicone rubber parts provide peace of mind, thanks to their remarkable stability. They do not interact with, nor alter, the integrity of substances they contact, be it skin, water, blood, or active ingredients. This attribute is especially crucial in applications requiring strict adherence to safety and hygiene standards.
Whether you’re looking for custom gaskets, seals, or any other silicone rubber components, investing in custom silicone rubber parts ensures you receive durable, high-performance solutions tailored to your specific needs. Choose silicone for your next project and experience the benefits of a material that’s designed to last, no matter the challenge.
Temperature Resilience
When it comes to custom rubber parts, silicone stands out for its remarkable temperature resilience. Designed to function effectively in extreme environments, silicone can withstand temperatures soaring up to 600°F and plummeting to -150°F without compromising its physical or electrical characteristics. This stability makes silicone an excellent choice for applications that demand reliability across fluctuating temperatures.
Chemical Resistance
One of the great benefits of silicone is its unparalleled chemical stability. Unlike many materials, custom rubber parts made from silicone won’t react adversely with common substances such as skin, water, or vital active ingredients. This property ensures safety and compatibility, making silicone an ideal option for medical devices, food processing, and other applications where contact with sensitive materials is crucial.
PSA Backing
For projects that require unwavering mechanical strength and shape retention, custom rubber parts equipped with pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) backing offer a perfect solution. This feature not only enhances adhesion to various surfaces but also ensures that the parts maintain their integrity and functionality even under challenging conditions. Whether you’re designing seals, gaskets, or other components, silicone with PSA backing provides durability and exceptional performance.
