Silicone (VMQ) Tableau de Résistance Chimique

Silicone rubber (VMQ) est connu pour its exceptional plage de température and flexibility. It's FDA-compliant for food contact and largement utilisé in medical, food processing, and high-temperature applications. However, it has limited résistance chimique compared to other elastomers.

Limited data 20°C & 50°C data FDA compliant

Quand Utiliser Silicone

✅ Excellent Pour

• Extreme temperatures (-60°C to +230°C)
• Food and beverage contact (FDA)
• Medical/pharmaceutical applications
• Water and dilute salt solutions
• Ozone and UV exposure
• Electrical insulation

❌ Éviter Avec

• Concentrated acids and bases
• Most solvents (acetone, toluene, etc.)
• Fuels and oils
• Steam (causes reversion)
• Abrasive environments (low tear strength)
• Hydrocarbon gases

Silicone vs Viton® vs EPDM

Silicone wins on plage de température and food safety but loses on résistance chimique.
Viton® handles fuels and oils but costs more and isn't food-safe.
EPDM excels with water and steam but can't match silicone's plage de température.
