Silicone in the appliance sector

Silicone Strengths

Mechanical: Its high resistance to deformation, both in compact and sponge formulations, makes it ideal for O-rings and sealing solutions in air conditioning systems, boilers, and small household appliances.

Thermal: It withstands temperatures from -60 °C to +300 °C, making it an essential material for kitchens and ovens. Its non-stick nature makes cleaning and usage easier. Silicone for steam is perfect for humid heat and high-pressure environments.

Chemical: It is odorless and tasteless and can be formulated with different levels of hardness, color, and transparency to fit any design. In addition, it is suitable for contact with food, complying with FDA regulations.

Where is it used?

We can find it in:

• Oven manufacturers.
• Washing machines and dishwashers.
• Dryers.
• Refrigerators.
• Air conditioning.
• Small household appliances.
• Electronics.

Silicone is widely used in plumbing, boilers, cooling, and heating circuits due to its heat resistance and sealing capabilities. In the home appliance industry, it is key in oven components such as baking sheets for pastry and bakery, and in special profiles for the seating of vitroceramic and induction plates.

Specifically in: Door seals and internal pipes in washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers, sealing profiles for oven and microwave doors, tubes in small household appliances like coffee makers, seals in steam machines, air conditioning systems, pressure cookers, and O-rings for plumbing applications.
