Silicone tubes and sleeves

Silicone sleeves are available from Ø 6 to Ø 150, for temperatures up to 275° peak and some configurations can also be resistant to mineral oil.

In particular, Silicone Polyvinylmethylsiloxane (VMQ) is insensitive to temperature changes. It is an excellent electrical insulator and, with appropriate product modifications,...
It solves non-toxicity problems and resolves electrical and thermal conductivity issues. It can operate at operating temperatures from -65° to +200°C.
Some special series reach temperatures of +250°C.
It has good properties in water, when exposed to atmospheric agents, ozone, and UV rays, vegetable and animal oils and glycols.
