Silicone is widely chosen for physiological inertness and low toxicity, an exceptionally wide service temperature range. It resists ozone and UV exposure, weathering, and dry heat. Continuous operating temperature is published at -80°F (-62.2°C) to 450°F (232.2°C). Verify compatibility before use with abrasive dynamic service or hydrocarbon fuels and oils.
The compound meets FDA requirements for food contact. It sees regular use in sanitary process lines, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and electronics and electrical enclosures.
