Series 1 – Peroxide-cured silicone with high tear resistance
VMQ silicone compound for extrusion and moulding with excellent mechanical strength
Series 1 is a peroxide-cured VMQ silicone compound developed for demanding industrial applications where high tear resistance, good mechanical strength and stable performance under continuous service are required. It is suitable for extrusion and moulding processes, enabling the manufacture of profiles, tubing, gaskets and technical moulded parts subjected to repeated mechanical stress.
