The outstanding properties of silicones make ELASTOSIL^® products ideal for high-end applications such as white goods, household appliances, small appliances and kitchenware. The application determines whether room-temperature curing or heat-curing silicone elastomers are the best choice.

White Goods

ELASTOSIL^® one-component and two-component silicone elastomers are used for numerous applications in household appliances. Specialty grades retain their elasticity at 250 °C even in the long-term and tolerate peak temperatures of up to 300 °C. Ecologically and physiologically safe, they are suitable for all food-contact applications.

Benefits:

Heat resistant (up to 300 °C)
Chemical resistance
Radiation-resistant (from microwave to UV range)
Permanent elasticity (-45 °C to over 200 °C)
Ecologically and physiologically safe

Applications:

Dish washers
Oven doors
Washing machines
Cooktops
Fridges

Small Appliances

ELASTOSIL^® silicone elastomers are ideal for bonding dissimilar materials such as plastics, metal and glass without the need for a primer. In addition, the silicone rubber is permanently resistant to aqueous solutions, diluted acids and bases, and solvents.
