General Characteristics
Suitable for continuous operation at temperatures from -60F (-50C) to 400F (204C) and for intermittent use from -80F (-62C) to 450F (232C). Red iron-oxide formulations are suitable for continuous use up to 480F (250C). Depending on media and application useful life at temperatures up to 570F (300C) may be obtained. Chemically stable and suitable for use with many acids and alkalis. Resistant to ozone, UV and corona discharge. Electrically insulating with dielectric strength 500 V/mil. Inherently low flammability and low smoke. No harmful toxic or physiological effects (RoHS and REACH compliant). Natural translucent, white, and red silicone rubber sheet is compliant with FDA 21 CFR 177-2600 for use in food contact applications.
