Silicone Rubber
Silicon rubber exhibits unique properties, that is, excellent weather and thermal stability, extreme-lowtemperature flexibility, good release property, physiological inertness and high gas permeability. KONASIL is used as a reinforcing filler in silicone rubber to increase mechanical strength and improve properties of the gum. The tensile strength of the silicone gum can be increased over a factor of 50 times by the addition with KONASIL with surface area 200m2/g (K-200) much higher than carbon black.
