Silicone is specified here for very good compression set resistance across its range and flexibility that holds at very low temperatures. The material holds up against many oxidizing chemicals, extreme heat and cold, and weathering. Published continuous service range is -80°F (-62.2°C) to 450°F (232.2°C). It should not be specified for service in steam above its rated range or concentrated acids.
The compound meets FDA requirements for food contact. Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across medical devices, sanitary process lines, and electronics and electrical enclosures.
