Silicone is specified here for flexibility that holds at very low temperatures and very good compression set resistance across its range. Expect good resistance to weathering, dry heat, and ozone and UV exposure. Rated temperature range runs from -80°F (-62.2°C) to 450°F (232.2°C) in continuous service. Verify compatibility before use with concentrated acids or abrasive dynamic service.
This item is metal detectable for HACCP and foreign-body control programs. Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across electronics and electrical enclosures, food and beverage processing, and sanitary process lines.
Reference part number S70MD008 when ordering; the item is sold individually. Check the compound against your process media, pressure and temperature before committing to a design. APG can cross-reference from an existing part number, a drawing or a physical sample if this size is not an exact match.
