PROPERTIES OF Silicone Elastomers SILICONE

 
Description: Excellent material for static service at extreme (hot or cold) temperatures. Outstanding flex and fatigue life. Very good for ozone and UV radiation service as well as for resistance to fungal and biological attack.

Limitations: Avoid chlorinated solvents, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and petroleum oils.  Silicones are generally very permeable to gases and have poor physical strength and abrasion resistance.

Chemistry: Methyl disiloxane, with vinyl-and/or phenyl-groups.

Trade Names: SILASTIC®, SILPLUS®

Typical Uses:  LPCVD/Oxidation, Dry Etch, Resist Stripping
