SILICONE PROPERTIES
Laur Silicone will match the properties you need to your application. The first practical silicone rubbers were introduced in the mid 1940’s. Since then, continual improvements have been made. Today a broad range of physical properties are available, including:
| Title | Temperature |
|---|---|
| Useful Temperature Range | -175 ºF to 500+ ºF |
| Hardness, Shore A | 20 to 90 |
| Tensile Strength, psi | up to 1,600 |
| Elongation, % | up to 1,000 |
| Tear Resistance, ppi | up to 300 |
| Compression Set, % | down to 8 |
| Specific Gravity | 1.0 to 2.1 |
| Volume Resistivity, Ohm-cm | 1015 to 1017 |
| Electric Strength, volt/mil | 600 to 650 |
| Dielectric Constant (60 cps) | 3.0 to 3.5 |
In addition to these properties silicone rubber also offers: long service life, inertness, and good chemical, weather, flame, and radiation resistance. We at Laur Silicone are proud to have played a part in these improvements, and remain committed to further progress.
