The unique structure of silicones provides material flexibility which is consistent over a wide range of temperatures. Main advantages of silicone rubber are its combined chemical and heat resistance. Silicones offer a typical working temperature ranging from -60°C up to +250°C. The electrical properties of silicone are excellent, and it is commonly known that its resistance to weathering and ozone attack is outstanding. Properly cured and post-cured vulcanisates can be used for food contact applications and are suitable for use under the following : Recommendation ‘XV. Silicones’ of the BfR and FDA 21 CFR §177.2600 ‘Rubber Articles Intended for Repeated Use’ considering any given limitations on extractable and volatile substances.
