Silicone inherently inert to bacteria, mold and fungi

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions materials give superior performance

Silicone materials are ideal for use in bioprocessing, food, beverage and pharmaceutical production due to their inherent inertness to bacteria, mold and fungi.

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions provide materials that:

• Give excellent heat resistance, cold flexibility and dielectric properties
• Are especially good where exposure to ozone and oxygen is likely
• Have operating temperatures from -60°C to +200°C / -76°F to +392°F
• Have exceptional low surface energy, meaning seals will not adhere to counterparts.
• Demonstrate low long-term compression set
• Are suitable for use in hot water, animal and plant fat, some lubricants and glycerin.

Care should be taken if specifying in acids, alkalis, ketones, esters and steam above 100°C / 212°F, where chemical degradation can occur.

Silicone compounds are grades SC6L1 and S700R8.
