*1/4 SQUARE SILICONE 60 DUROMETER

Part number 0294250 is a red Silicone 60 Shore A Square-Cut Cord Stock with a cross section of 0.25 in (6.35 mm). A square-cut cord stock ships as continuous square-cut stock so a custom-length seal can be cut and spliced on site.

Silicone is specified here for flexibility that holds at very low temperatures, physiological inertness and low toxicity. Expect good resistance to weathering, ozone and UV exposure, and dry heat. Verify compatibility before use with abrasive dynamic service or steam above its rated range. The profile itself contributes simple lathe-cut manufacture at low tooling cost and greater resistance to extrusion than a round section of the same size. Note that a square section is less suited to high-speed rotary service, where the larger contact area raises friction and heat.

Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across ovens and heated equipment, medical devices, and electronics and electrical enclosures.
