Series 7 – Peroxide-cured silicone with high tear and abrasion resistance
High-toughness VMQ compound for inflatable seals, bellows, and wear applications
Series 7 is a peroxide-cured silicone mixture, designed to offer superior mechanical properties, specifically high tear strength and good abrasion resistance. It is processable by both extrusion and moulding. Thanks to its toughness, it is the material of choice for manufacturing inflatable seals, bellows, and profiles subjected to friction or severe stretching, operating in an extended thermal range from -60°C to +230°C.
