Series 14 – Peroxide-cured silicone with improved steam and fluid resistance
Specific VMQ compound for autoclaves, steam contact, and coolants
Series 14 is a peroxide-cured silicone mixture, specifically formulated to improve its resistance to steam, coolants, and oils. It is processable by extrusion and moulding. It offers good compression set (CS) properties, making it ideal for autoclave gaskets and applications in humid and hot environments where other silicones might degrade more quickly.
