Applications - Food Processing and Food Storage
01
General Purpose Silicone Compounds
General purpose silicone rubber compounds are meticulously customized to meet specific customer requirements and process conditions. These versatile compounds exhibit excellent physical and mechanical properties, including robust high and low temperature resistance and superior aging resistance. They are engineered to perform reliably over a broad temperature range, from -60°C to 200°C, ensuring prolonged use and durability in diverse applications.
02
Platinum Cured Silicone Compounds
The fast curing mechanism of the platinum catalyst allows for thicker section parts to be cured more quickly at the same molding temperatures as traditional peroxide systems. Additionally, thicker section parts can be cured at lower temperatures with this method. Unlike peroxide-cured systems, platinum cure systems produce no peroxide residues, making them ideal for use in food and medical applications. This curing process results in materials with excellent hot tear strength, facilitating the demolding of parts with complex geometries and undercuts. However, platinum-cured materials are more sensitive to catalyst poisons than peroxide-cured ones. To address this, we offer a three-component system and formulation guide designed to extend the shelf life of the mixed compound, ensuring optimal performance and usability.

03
High Strength Silicone Compounds
These high strength silicone compounds exhibit significantly greater elongation and tear strength compared to general purpose silicones. They are versatile, suitable for molding, extrusion, and calendaring processes. The resulting products demonstrate superior resistance to abrasion and fatigue, making them ideal for demanding applications. High strength silicones are particularly valuable for producing molded components with intricate shapes or for applications requiring enhanced endurance properties, ensuring reliability and longevity in challenging environments.
04
Conductive Silicone Compounds
While silicones are renowned for their excellent electrical insulation properties, CSE has developed a range of specialized grades featuring exceptional electrical conductivity. These electrically conductive compounds can be molded, extruded, or calendered, making them highly versatile for various manufacturing processes. They are frequently utilized in electromagnetic shielding applications and for preventing the buildup of static charge, ensuring both functionality and safety in electronic and industrial environments.

05
High Temperature Silicone Compounds
While general-purpose silicone compounds offer reliable temperature resistance up to 200°C, high-temperature silicone rubber materials are engineered to withstand continuous exposure to temperatures as high as 300°C. They can even tolerate temperature peaks above 300°C for brief periods, although sustained operation at these extreme temperatures is not recommended. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can cause the silicone to harden and become increasingly brittle, leading to a loss of its elastomeric properties. These high-temperature silicones are ideal for demanding applications that require superior thermal resilience, ensuring durability and performance under extreme conditions.
06
Fluorosilicone Rubber
Fluorosilicone rubber stands out with significantly greater chemical resistance compared to standard silicone. It excels in resisting hydrocarbon fluids such as petrol and diesel, as well as various solvents, making it ideal for environments where exposure to harsh chemicals is common. Fluorosilicone is particularly suited for applications requiring a broad temperature range, from -60°C to +225°C, where conventional silicone fails to provide adequate chemical resistance. This unique combination of properties ensures reliable performance in demanding conditions, making fluorosilicone rubber the material of choice for critical applications.

Applications - Extruding profiles, pressure less curing and Rollers
07
Non Post Cure Silicone
Non-post cure silicones are designed to minimize processing costs associated with silicone product manufacturing. Typically, silicones undergo post-curing to enhance their final properties and reduce the blooming of peroxide volatiles formed during curing. However, non-post cure silicones achieve these benefits without the additional post-curing step. These silicones feature a high crosslink density, providing outstanding resistance to compression set, making them exceptionally suitable for sealing applications. This streamlined processing not only reduces costs but also ensures superior performance and durability in the final product.
08
Insulating Silicone Rubber
Our range of insulating silicone rubber grades is specifically designed for applications demanding superior electrical insulation. These materials exhibit exceptional resistance to combustion arc tracking and environmental degradation, making them ideal for high voltage and power transmission equipment. They are perfectly suited for use in critical components such as insulators, surge arresters, and casing pipes, ensuring reliable performance and longevity in demanding conditions.
