Silicone Elastomers
What Are Silicone Elastomers?
An elastomer is a material that can be deformed and go back to its original shape without losing flexibility or durability, making it a fine option to withstand extreme vibrations, shocks, pressures, and other physical stresses. Silicone elastomers offer this absorption with other desired properties such as moisture, temperature, and chemical resistance. Most offer solid adhesion and excellent sealing performance.
Elastomers can be brushed, injected, or sprayed onto objects, letting you customize a form-fitting solution. Silicone-based elastomers are also used to make power-transmitting belts, fluid hoses, electrical cable insulators, and other components.
Elastomers for Industrial Applications
Silmid offers silicone elastomers that have been proven in many industries such as aviation and medical care. Some of the formulas include fast-cure elastomers, low-viscosity elastomers, thixotropic pressure sealants, and thermally conductive silicone compounds. Most cure at room temperature with optional heat acceleration. Check the product information for more about an elastomer’s characteristics and suggested uses.
