Silicone seals

Our available silicone-materials

General

Silicones are a group of synthetic polymers in which silicon atoms are linked to oxygen atoms. They are characterized by excellent mechanical properties and a good temperature resistance. As they are not harmful to health, they are commonly used in the food industry. Steinbach AG produces, for example, low-wear seals and membranes made of silicone according to DIN standards.

Properties

Sealing materials made of silicone are resistant to water, biogas and biodiesel. Furthermore, silicone  is dielectric, temperature-resistant and physiologically harmless.

Benefits

• not harmful to health
• heat-resistant
• water-resistant
• resistant to biodiesel and biogas
• dielectric
• suitable for low-wear seals

Range of use and areas of applications

Typical applications for silicone are hoses, seals and membranes in the fields of application of pneumatics/hydraulics, household appliance, sanitary, pharmaceutical and toy industry as well as in vehicle construction. Due to its biocompatibility, mechanical properties and its high temperature resistance, silicone is outstandingly suitable as a material for seals in food facilities, for medical devices and for the use in transportation.
