Silicone

The term silicone (polysiloxanes) refers to a group of synthetic polymers that can take on liquid, semi-liquid or solid form. Silicone rubber and silicone elastomers are characterized by high temperature resistance and flexibility as well as excellent insulating properties. They are also completely non-toxic and food-safe, which makes them ideal for use with food. They are suitable as a material for seals , molded parts for electrical components, profiles and flat seals, among other things .
