MVQ (silicone rubber)

Silicone rubber – MVQ
Silicone materials have excellent aging resistance, oxygen,
ozone, ultraviolet radiation and weathering and a
very wide application temperature range with excellent
cold fl exibility. Silicone is physiologically harmless and
therefore very good in food and medical product applications.
Silicone has good electrical insulation properties
and is highly permeable to gas. Due to the weak
mechanical properties, silicone O-rings are preferably
used in static.
Silicone has good resistance to:
animal and vegetable oils and fats
water (max.100°C)
aliphatic engine and gear oils
ozone, weathering, ageing, UV resistance
Silicone is not resistant to:
silicone oils and greases
aromatic mineral oils
fuels
steam over 120°C
acids and alkalis
Application temperature range:
-60°C to +200°C
+230°C can be obtained by special grades
