Get the advantages of silicone from Apple Rubber

No other material can match silicone's combination of unique characteristics. This makes it one of the most versatile materials for a wide variety of sealing applications in many industries.

• Unmatched Temperature Resistance - withstands temperature extremes from -75°C to 225°C (-103°F to 437°F).
• Excellent Mechanical Properties - excellent flex resistance, good tensile, tear and elongation strength, and superior compression set resistance, with durometer range of 10-80 Shore A.
• Superior Insulating Properties - exceeds all elastomers in its insulating properties making it ideal for electrical applications. It is non-conductive and maintains dielectric strength in high and low temperature extremes.
• Exceptional Weather Resistance - resists the damaging effects of UV light, ozone, O2, weather, moisture and steam with outstanding aging characteristics.
• Good Chemical Resistance - resists water and many chemicals such as acids, oxidizing chemicals, ammonia and isopropyl alcohol.
• Excellent Dimensional Stability - offers excellent accuracy and provides versatility of shape and form to many seals and parts, even intricate shapes.

Silicone is the remedy for medical applications.

As an example of its advantages, silicone demonstrates superior performance properties for use in medical devices.

• Excellent compatibility with human and animal tissue and body fluids - does not irritate skin or other organs.
• Is extremely soft and pliable, easily conforms to different shapes.
• Biologically inert - Does not support the growth of bacteria
• Does not stain or corrode other materials which it contacts.
• Withstands Autoclave, ETO, and Gamma Sterilization
