Custom Silicone Seals for Your Business

Silicone Seals Customized for High-Temperature Applications

When you need seals that can perform in extreme temperatures, silicone is a great option. High-grade silicone is made to withstand high and low temperatures far better than most rubber and plastic compounds and can endure long-term continuous use at high and low temperatures. Key silicone performance requirements include:

• Temperature range of -150 to 480° F (-100 to 250° C).
• Excellent resistance to sunlight, weathering, and aging.
• Flexibility in colder temperatures and stiffens up at higher temperatures.
• Good compression set, resilience, and rebound characteristics.
• Tensile strength and elongation of up to 1,500 PSI and 700%
• Good adhesion to metal.
• Excellent electrical insulation, even when immersed in water.
• Can become flame retardant with additives.

Of course, a silicone door seal is going to pose different challenges than a silicone window seal and other part needs. Timco has provided custom part solutions since 1956, and we can work closely with your business to identify all the special characteristics and design needs for your parts. We partner with manufacturers around the globe to ensure that your part is made specifically for your application.

• Custom and standard diameters, groove depths, and profile shapes (D, E, P, etc.).
• A wide range of widths and thicknesses.
• Cut-to-length seals.
