Silicone Rubber Gasket is a high-performance sealing material made of silicone rubber. Due to its excellent high and low temperature resistance, elasticity, insulation, biocompatibility and anti-aging ability, it is widely used in sealing, dustproof, waterproof, shockproof and other applications in the fields of food, medical, electrical appliances, electronics, machinery, aerospace, etc.
Main features of silicone gaskets:
Super high and low temperature resistance
The operating temperature range is very wide, usually -60℃ to +200℃, and special formulas can even reach -100℃ or +250℃. It is one of the most reliable sealing materials in high/low temperature environments.
Excellent softness and elasticity
Silicone itself is soft and elastic, suitable for fitting various irregular or precision surfaces. Even if it is compressed for a long time, it is not easy to deform permanently, and the seal is long-lasting and stable.
Excellent insulation
Good electrical insulation performance, stable dielectric constant, non-conductive, so it is suitable for gaskets, insulating layers, thermal conductive gaskets, etc. in electronic equipment.
Non-toxic and odorless, good biocompatibility
Medical grade or food grade silicone can be in contact with the human body or food for a long time, and is widely used in medical equipment, food machinery and other fields, and complies with FDA, LFGB and other certifications.
Aging resistance, ozone resistance, UV resistance
Long-term use will not age or crack due to sunlight, wind, ozone and other environments, and is an ideal material for outdoor or long-term sealing.
Waterproof and dustproof, good airtightness
After processing and molding, it can form a highly sealed structure, which is suitable for IP67 or higher sealing requirements (such as electronic housings, outdoor equipment).
2. Common application scenarios:
Medical equipment: blood pressure monitors, ventilators, dental equipment seals
Food machinery: oven door seals, water dispensers, food-grade gaskets
Electronic appliances: mobile phone waterproof rings, router gaskets, power supply seals
Automotive industry: lamp seals, instrument panels, sensor protection pads
Industrial equipment: high temperature seals, flange gaskets, airtight isolation layers
Household items: pot lid seals, microwave gaskets, non-slip foot pads
3. Common shapes and types of silicone gaskets:
Flat gaskets (disc type): used for sealing between flange surfaces and housings
O-ring structure: suitable for cylindrical connection seals
Frame gaskets / embedded sealing strips: used for frame waterproof and dustproof
Thermal conductive silicone gaskets: added with ceramic powder or graphite, used for electronic heat dissipation
Foamed silicone gaskets: with microporous structure, soft, high compression rate, suitable for buffering and sound insulation occasions
