Rulon Bearings

Precision Polymer Engineering S60R Silicone Rubber
Categories: Polymer; Thermoset; Rubber or Thermoset Elastomer (TSE); Silicone

Material Notes: Red Silicone 55-65 °IRHD. Diesel cylinder liner ring grade. Silicone rubber having both methyl and vinyl substituent groups on the polymer chain. ASTM & ISO designation = VMQ.

Applications: Excellent heat resistance and low temperature flexibility combined with low compression set performance. Used primarily for diesel cylinder liner O-Rings (coolant sealing). Although silicone will swell in petroleum lubricants, this is not necessarily detrimental in static sealing applications.
