Silicone rubber is an elastomer that is composed of silicon, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. It exhibits good resistance to extreme temperatures, working well in temperatures from -148°F to +572°F. It is stable, non-reactive, and exhibits good tear strength and compression set. Silicone is available in a variety of grades that provide specialized properties, such as steam resistance, high tear strength, extremely high or low temperatures, corrosion resistance, and low smoke emissions.
