As a material, Silicone delivers flexibility that holds at very low temperatures, physiological inertness and low toxicity. The material holds up against extreme heat and cold, dry heat, and weathering. Continuous operating temperature is published at -80°F (-62.2°C) to 450°F (232.2°C). Applications involving abrasive dynamic service or hydrocarbon fuels and oils call for a different compound.
Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across ovens and heated equipment, medical devices, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Reference part number S70242 when ordering; the item is sold individually. Unit weight is approximately 4.523 g and nominal inside diameter is listed as 4 inch. Application requirements vary, so validate compatibility with your process conditions prior to installation. For a size or compound outside the standard catalog, APG can quote from a print or sample.
