Protect
and insulate critical electrical components
Seal out environmental hazards and ensure reliable electrical
connectivity.
Engineering your electrical systems for maximum reliability begins
with Silastic® brand silicone elastomers. With intrinsic dielectric protection, Silastic
silicone high-consistency rubber
(HCR) and liquid
silicone rubber (LSR) elastomers are ideal for spark plug cables, spark
plug boots, and other electrical insulation applications.
Withstand fuel, oil, and solvents
Protect high-voltage ignition cables from fuel, oil, and solvents that would
degrade organic rubbers with high-performance Silastic fluorosilicone rubber
(FSR) elastomers
Improve your manufacturing options and process efficiency
-
Silastic HCR elastomers can be extruded or molded
-
Silastic LSR elastomers can be molded, injection molded, or overmolded, enabling process automation to
quickly and easily fabricate intricate parts
-
Extend your process options while accommodating specific market needs with
fuel- and solvent-resistant Silastic Fluoro Liquid Silicone Rubber
(F-LSR)
Ensure protection for your electrical systems
Silastic silicone elastomers:
-
Corona resistance protects from the damage of high-voltage ionization
-
Have a wider operating temperature range than most organic elastomers
-
Withstand rapid, wide temperature fluctuations
-
Can be tailored or custom compounded to meet extreme or extended
heat-resistance requirements
-
Retain their natural flexibility and continue to perform at low
temperatures that would cause most organic elastomers to become brittle
-
Resist compression set at both high and low temperatures
-
Maintain their elongation properties longer than organic elastomers and at
higher temperatures
