It remains the most cost-effective sealing element available for pressurized assemblies.

Expect good resistance to extreme heat and cold, ozone and UV exposure, and dry heat. That behavior comes from the compound itself: Silicone is specified for very good compression set resistance across its range and flexibility that holds at very low temperatures. Continuous operating temperature is published at -80°F (-62.2°C) to 450°F (232.2°C). Exposure to steam above its rated range or hydrocarbon fuels and oils will shorten service life.

This item meets FDA requirements for food contact, is metal detectable for HACCP and foreign-body control programs. Typical settings include food and beverage processing, medical devices, and ovens and heated equipment.
