XIAMETER OFFERINGS.

Silicone Rubber is a unique synthetic elastomer made from a cross-linked polymer which is reinforced with silica. Its characteristics are such that it provides the perfect balance of mechanical and chemical properties required by many of today's most demanding applications.

Silicone rubber excels in the following areas:

• High and low temperature stability

• Inertness (no taste or smell)

• Translucent and easy to color

• Wide hardness range, 10 - 80 Shore A

• Chemical resistance

• Weatherability

• Sealing performance

• Electrical properties

• Compression set resistance

In addition to the excellent properties above, it is extremely easy to fabricate, particularly when compared to conventional organic elastomers. Silicone Rubber flows very easily and as a result can be molded, calendered or extruded using relatively low amounts of energy. This ease of fabrication results in high productivity rates.

Silicone Rubber is available in the following forms:

• Silicone Compounds: These ready to use materials are pigmented and catalyzed specifically for your processing equipment and end application.

• Silicone Bases: These silicone polymers also contain a reinforcing filler. Rubber bases can be further compounded with pigments and additives to produce a compound that meets your color and other fabrication needs.

• Silicone Modifiers: Additives for use with Silicone Rubber Bases to make Molding and Extrusion Compounds.
