Manufacture more durable and dependable intercooler and radiator seals

Fabricate intercooler seals and radiator seals that perform better and last longer than organic rubber seals in challenging engine room environments.  Give your customers:

• Intercooler seals that maintain their flexibility and sealing power when exposed to high heat from turbochargers, including temperatures >200º C (392º F)
• Radiator seals with better coolant resistance, ethylene glycol resistance, and resistance to organic acid treatment (OAT)

Silastic® brand silicone elastomers give you a unique combination of benefits organic rubber materials cannot match, including:

• Better resistance to high temperatures, moisture, and chemicals
• Better all-temperature flexibility coupled with good resilience

Give yourself more options, improve your productivity

With Silastic silicone elastomers, you have more processing and performance options, including:

• Proven silicone high consistency rubber (HCR) elastomers
• Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) elastomers to improve your manufacturing productivity
• Fluorosilicone rubber (FSR) elastomers when fuel resistance is required

Give your customers the performance they require at a cost you can both afford Improve sealing performance   Manufacture intercooler and radiator seals that: Resist coolants, including ethylene glycol and organic acid treatment, and oil. Withstand pressure. Last longer.   Learn More Withstand temperature extremes   Enable your intercooler and radiator seals to: Retain their mechanical properties over a wide temperature range. Perform reliably through extreme hot-cold temperature shifts.   Learn More Start with the right elastomer For intercooler seals, we recommend a compound of a high consistency rubber (HCR), molding grade, with a hardness of 50-60 Shore A, pigmented, and formulated for high temperature performance.   Take advantage of our compounding expertise We can tailor or custom compound a proven silicone elastomer to help you achieve the best processing efficiency and performance value.
