Silicone Rubber Expansion Joint
Silicone rubber expansion joint is resistant to both high temperature (highest temperature is 300°C) and low temperature (lowest temperature is -100°C) and is currently the best cold and high temperature resistant rubber joint
Feature
Advantage
● Both high and low temperature resistant, it is the best cold and high temperature resistant rubber at present;
● Excellent electrical insulation, high stability to thermal oxidation and ozone, chemically inert.
Disadvantage
● The mechanical strength is low.
● Poor resistance to solvents, solvents and acids and bases.
● More difficult to vulcanise.
● More expensive.
