Molded Silicone Parts – temperature-resistant and durable
Silicone compounds, developed for sensitive technical applications that demand exceptional temperature resistance, cleanliness, and elasticity.
Performance characteristics and properties
Molded silicone parts excel where other materials reach their limits. They maintain elasticity across a wide temperature range, resist UV radiation, ozone, and chemicals, and meet the highest hygiene requirements.
- Temperature resistance from −65 °C to +200 °C
- Special compounds with a significantly wider range
- Exceptional aging and weather resistance
- Chemical resistance to oils, greases, and aggressive media (FVMQ)
- Configurable as electrically insulating or conductive
- Biocompatible and physiologically safe for food and medical technology

Do you have questions?
We have answers!
What are the advantages of molded silicone parts in comparison to molded rubber parts?
Silicones remain elastic under extreme temperatures and exhibit superior resistance to aging, weathering, and environmental stress, which makes them suitable for hygienic and medical applications.
When is Fluorosilicone (FVMQ) the right choice?
In addition to typical silicone properties, Fluorosilicone offers high resistance to oils, fuels, and aggressive chemicals.
Are molded silicone parts suitable for food proscessing and medical applications?
Yes. Numerous silicone compounds meet FDA- and BfR-compliant standards, offer biocompatibility, and are thus approved for direct contact with food and device implementation.
How do chemical silicone designations differ from processing methods like RTV, HTV, or LSR?
MQ, FVMQ, etc., refer to the chemical makeup of the silicone. RTV, HTV, and LSR describe the processing approaches: RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing) cures at ambient conditions; HTV (high-temperature vulcanizing) is a solid material that is crosslinked with heat; and LSR (liquid silicone rubber) is a two-component system used for injection molding processes.
