So, what working environments are not suitable for silicone seals?


1. Silicone seals have hygroscopic properties, can absorb moisture in the environment and isolate it, but have poor water vapor resistance;


2. Silicone seals are not suitable for working environments with working pressures exceeding 50 pounds;


3. Although silicone seals have good acid and alkali resistance, they have little resistance to alkanes and aromatic oils;


4. Silicone seals are not recommended for use in most concentrated solvents, oils, concentrated acids, and diluted caustic soda solutions;


5. Silicone seals are not recommended for use in places where there is stretching, tearing, strong wear, etc. in the working environment.


The above are working environments where silicone seals are not recommended. Although silicone seals have many excellent performance characteristics, silicone seals are not perfect. Do you know what environments are not suitable for silicone seals?
