Silicone rubber is physioloyically insert,thus making it preferred choice of medical,pharmaceutical and food
processing industries.
Silicone rubber have comparatively low mechanical properties,resistencia a la tracción,elongation and tear strength.
Silicone rubber is excellent resistance to oil and hydrocarbon products is fairly limited and similar to that of chloroprene rubbers.Reasonable resistance to a whole range of general chemical products,but acids,alcalino,esters and kerosene should be avoided.
Silicone rubber is excellet resistance to heat,at 200 ℃and +220℃intermottent.It remains flexible at low temperatures of -70℃.
Silicone rubber is good electrical insulation properties.
Silicone rubber is resistant to ultra-violet light,ozono y meteorización.
