Silicone rubber provides a number of advantages over other elastomeric materials. This sealing solution offers a robust combination of tensile strength, vibration and noise dampening, and thermal stability. Silicone rubber is also resistant to various chemicals, abrasions, and weathering.

APM Hexseal has been developing advanced bonding and sealing solutions for a range of materials since 1947. Various industries rely on our silicone rubber bonding and sealing solutions to provide a high-quality, reliable seal.

Silicone Rubber: An Ideal Choice for Sealing  Solutions

Silicone rubber is a versatile compound with a wide range of material properties that help create a durable and robust seal, including:

• High flexibility and low compression set
• Overall strength and resilience
• Dampening qualities
• Low permeability
• Chemical stability
• Insulative properties
• Low electrical conductivity and flammability
• Wide temperature operating range

One can further enhance its material properties using advanced formulas and manufacturing techniques. The resulting seals can be used in some of the most extreme and sophisticated military or medical applications.

Silicone rubber comes in a range of hardness and color options, allowing our design engineers to fine-tune each solution to the client’s exact design requirements. These advantages set silicone rubber apart from common alternatives like chloroprene or nitrile.
