Siliconce Benefits
The range of applications for silicone enhanced products is due to silicone’s inert nature and non-toxic characteristics. In addition to being environmentally friendly, silicone coated substrates and textiles offers superior performance characteristics including:
- Performs consistently in a broad range of operating temperatures— from -50 degrees to +200 degrees C
- Highly versatile polymer that performs well in many different applications
- Non-toxic, safe burning properties
- Excellent release properties
- Low chemical reactivity and resistance to hydrocarbons, oils and solvents
- Excellent insulation properties
- Abrasion resistant
- Water resistant
- Consistent mechanical and electrical properties in volatile environments
- Dielectric properties
- FDA compliance
- Excellent fabric adhesion
- Excellent resistance to weather and aging due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation, oxygen and ozone
With all of these high performance characteristics, it’s easy to see why silicone is often the most cost-effective material solution.
In many cases, SilTek can provide a cost-benefit analysis that clearly shows the value of a silicone enhance material when compared to coated material alternatives. At SilTek, we will work with you to ensure that you get the most cost-effective solution to your specific application and performance requirements.
