Silicone Rubber

Over the past 40 years, silicone rubber has become one of the most widely used and advanced elastomeric materials, progressing faster than other rubber technologies due to its broad application across various industries.

Silicone rubber includes elastomers, which are further divided into thermoset and thermoplastic types, each with distinct physical and chemical properties. Thermosets maintain a consistent structure under different environmental conditions, while thermoplastics change state and return to their original liquid form, differentiating silicone rubber from other elastomers.

Beyond its role in insulation, silicone rubber offers long-term safety, energy efficiency, and excellent resistance to magnetic fields. Its applications extend to electronics, telecommunications, packaging, and many other industries.

In cable manufacturing, silicone rubber is increasingly used for its ability to retain inherent properties under harsh conditions, resist high moisture, extreme cold, and heat, and provide durable coatings.

Advantages of Silicone Rubber:

• High chemical resistance
• Ozone resistance
• Good mechanical and electrical properties, and water repellency
