Silicone rubber cord is a synthetic elastomer composed of silicon, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. It excels in compressibility across a broad temperature spectrum, features a non-stick, waterproof surface, and offers robust resistance to weathering, UV radiation, and ozone exposure. This material also provides superior electrical insulation and holds WRAS / WRc certification, complying with FDA and EC regulations for food contact applications. It is important to note that silicone is unsuitable for abrasive conditions and should not be used with acids, ketones, or petrochemical substances.
AMG Sealing is a trusted supplier of silicone rubber cord available in multiple colours and diameters, perfectly suited for demanding high-temperature sealing applications. This product is extensively utilised within the food processing industry and can be vulcanised to create dependable O-rings.
We also offer metal-detectable silicone cord designed to reduce contamination risks, alongside a closed-cell silicone sponge cord that enhances compressibility.
