What are silicone gaskets
Silicone gaskets are industrial sealing components manufactured from silicone rubber, an elastomer known for its excellent thermal stability and flexibility across a wide temperature range. These gaskets maintain their sealing properties under both high and low temperatures.
Silicone gaskets are chemically inert and resistant to ageing, UV radiation and ozone, making them suitable for applications where long-term material stability is required.
When do you need silicone gaskets
Silicone gaskets are used when sealing applications involve temperature extremes or frequent temperature fluctuations. They are commonly selected where flexibility and elastic recovery must be maintained over time.
These gaskets are typically applied in environments where oil or fuel resistance is not the primary requirement and where clean or inert sealing behaviour is important.
Applications of silicone gaskets
Silicone gaskets are applied in enclosures, housings, electrical equipment and temperature-sensitive installations. They are widely used in industries such as food processing, medical technology, electronics and general industrial manufacturing.
Depending on the application, silicone gaskets can be supplied in standard gasket formats or produced in specific shapes to suit particular sealing surfaces.
