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.
