Flame retardant silicone profiles
Our experience in supplying and manufacturing products for the fire safety industry means that we have a great deal of experience with Flame Retardant Silicone Rubber Compounds.
Silicone naturally is self extinguishing, and most of our general purpose grades meet UL94HB.
But in certain specialist applications such as aerospace, rail and other mass transit even higher standards of self extinguishing and low smoke emissions are required from Flame Retardant Silicone Rubber.
We offer a large number of Flame Retardant Silicone Rubber grades that meet UL94V0, ABD0031 and BS6853 and the halogen, toxicity and smoke emissions standards of the vast majority of road transport, marine industry and train mass transit operators across the world.
The flame retardant silicone profiles we supply are available in a range of hardness’s and can be colour matched to your project requirement. We operate with supliers which offer high traceability levels required for products in these specialist sectors.
We can extrude custom Flame Retardant Silicone Rubber seals that are often used as fire safety door seals, seat or bulkhead seals, either supplied as extruded profiles ( P tapes, D Profiles, e profiles , fabricated complete Silicone Rubber Gaskets, or moulded flame retardant silicone rubber parts, and adhesive backed if required.
From your idea, sketch or drawing to sample for testing it generally takes only about 2 weeks and if you need any technical advice with a new or existing project, or would like a quotation please contact us and we will be happy to help.
Fire retardant silicone profile
Fire retardant silicone profiles contain additional ingredients to enable the material to self-extinguish and have low smoke, low toxicity properties. Widely used in the rail industry, low smoke, low toxicity fire retardant silicone profiles are ideal for applications where toxic as and smoke needs to be restricted and the potential of ignition reduced. Fire retardant silicone is specifically designed not to release hazardous gases with minimal smoke and also self-extin..
High temperature silicone profiles
High temperature silicone profiles We extrude and mould products in an extreme High Temperature Silicone Rubber grade that is rated up to a maximum operating temperature of 300°C. This is available in a range of hardnesses from 30 to 80 shore A, and can be pigmented to almost any colour you could require. We can extrude High Temperature Silicone Rubber into Silicone Rubber tube and cord, Silcone Rubber Extrusions or Silicone Rubber Sheet and from this can ..
What are the key features of Flame Retardant Silicone Profiles?
Flame Retardant Silicone Profiles are designed to meet stringent safety standards, offering excellent resistance to fire and low smoke emission. They are made from special silicone rubber compounds that comply with recognized standards such as UL94V0, ABD0031, and BS6853. These profiles are ideal for applications in industries like aerospace and mass transit, where safety and compliance are paramount.
How do Flame Retardant Silicone Profiles compare to standard silicone profiles?
Unlike standard silicone profiles, which generally meet UL94HB for self-extinguishing properties, Flame Retardant Silicone Profiles are engineered to provide enhanced fire resistance and lower smoke emissions. This makes them suitable for more demanding applications where safety regulations require higher performance materials.
Can Flame Retardant Silicone Profiles be used in high-temperature environments?
Yes, while Flame Retardant Silicone Profiles are designed for fire safety, they can also withstand high temperatures. For applications that require both flame resistance and high-temperature performance, you may consider our High Temperature Silicone Profiles, which are specifically manufactured to endure elevated temperatures without compromising material integrity.
