Silicone Extruded Profiles for Humidity Chambers & Sterilizers

Silicone extruded profiles play a crucial role in humidity chambers, autoclaves, pharmaceutical ovens, and various pharmaceutical machines, primarily functioning as seals and gaskets. Their exceptional resistance to high temperatures, combined with excellent flexibility and long-lasting durability, ensures reliable performance in harsh and sterile environments. These properties make silicone profiles ideal for maintaining airtight seals, preventing contamination, and withstanding frequent cleaning and sterilization cycles, all of which are essential in pharmaceutical and medical applications.

Key Characteristics of Silicone Extruded Profiles:

Silicone extruded profiles possess a wide range of key characteristics that make them highly suitable for demanding applications, particularly in pharmaceutical, food processing, and industrial environments.

• Temperature Resistance: One of the standout features of silicone is its exceptional ability to withstand extreme temperatures, ranging from -80°C to +250°C. This wide temperature resistance ensures that silicone profiles maintain their integrity and functionality even in environments with fluctuating or high heat, such as autoclaves, ovens, and machinery exposed to extreme temperatures.
• Moisture and Steam Resistance: Silicone’s resistance to moisture and steam makes it an ideal material for high-humidity and steam environments, which are common in applications like humidity chambers, autoclaves, and pharmaceutical ovens. This property ensures that silicone profiles retain their performance and do not degrade when exposed to moisture or steam, which would compromise the seal or gasket function.
• Chemical Stability: Silicone materials are highly resistant to a wide variety of chemicals, including oils, solvents, and acids commonly used in pharmaceutical and laboratory settings. This ensures that silicone profiles do not react with substances they come into contact with, making them safe and reliable for sealing or gasketing in chemically demanding environments.
• Electrical Insulation: Silicone is an excellent electrical insulator due to its non-conductive properties. This makes it particularly useful in electrical and electronic applications, where it can be used to protect sensitive components from electrical interference or short circuits. Its insulating ability helps ensure the safety and reliability of electrical systems.
• Non-Toxicity: Food and medical-grade silicones are certified non-toxic, ensuring that they are safe for use in food processing, pharmaceutical equipment, and other applications where safety and hygiene are paramount. This non-toxicity makes silicone profiles ideal for sensitive environments, where contamination or harmful substances could pose significant risks.
• Durability: Silicone profiles are highly durable, resistant to wear, tear, and aging, even in harsh conditions. Their ability to withstand physical stress, as well as exposure to chemicals, heat, and moisture, ensures long-term reliability. This durability makes silicone an excellent choice for long-lasting seals, gaskets, and profiles that require consistent performance over time, even under challenging conditions.
• Flexibility: Silicone remains flexible even at low temperatures, making it ideal for applications that demand a high degree of flexibility. Whether used as seals, gaskets, or other components, silicone profiles maintain their flexibility and shape retention, ensuring a tight seal and effective performance even in colder environments where other materials might become brittle or lose their shape.

Applications in Pharmaceutical and Laboratory Equipment:

Silicone extruded profiles are essential in various pharmaceutical and laboratory applications due to their durability and resistance to extreme conditions:

• Humidity Chambers: Provide airtight seals to maintain consistent moisture levels, crucial for product testing.
• Pharmaceutical Ovens / Machines: Ensure temperature consistency by sealing ovens and machines, enhancing efficiency and preventing leaks.
• Autoclaves: Serve as gaskets and seals, withstanding high temperatures and steam to maintain effective sterilization.
• Freeze Doors: Maintain airtight seals in low-temperature environments, ensuring energy efficiency and preserving sensitive materials.
• Air tight Door Seals: Prevent contamination in clean rooms and controlled environments by creating reliable seals on doors.
