Why Silicone? More Than Just Heat Resistance

Silicone’s reputation for high-temperature performance is well known, but its advantages go beyond that:

  • Unmatched Release Properties – Silicone resists sticking, making it ideal for coating and laminating applications where clean separation is critical.
  • Resilience Under Pressure – Unlike other elastomers, silicone maintains flexibility and shape under heavy loads.
  • Chemical & UV Resistance – Designed to handle industrial solvents, oils, and prolonged sun exposure without breaking down.
  • Enhanced Toughness – By blending silicone with EPDM and Hypalon, we improve its abrasion resistance while preserving its release and temperature resistance.

Silicone is a material engineered for longevity, and when formulated correctly, it outperforms standard rubber compounds in specialized industrial applications.
