High temp silicone is a silicone elastomer that remains stable from -58°F to 428°F, retaining flexibility and resisting compression set. At Everest Rubber, we manufacture high temp silicone sheets, high temp silicone gaskets and translucent silicone rolls for oven doors, food industry, medical applications and heat treatments. ISO 9001 certified manufacturer with fast delivery across the USA.
High Temp Silicone
High temp silicone is physiologically inert and therefore has a wide variety of applications in the medical industry. It is also resistant to a wider temperature range than almost any other elastomer, with its operating properties remaining unchanged from -58°F to 428 °F.
High Temp Silicone
High temp silicon. The silicone gasket is characterized by its very high resistance to high temperature, excellent in oven door seals for food and all types of heat treatments. For a softer seal, see silicone sponge.
Silicone resists temperature extremes while retaining flexibility and resisting compression set. Silicone elastomers also provide very good resistance to thermal aging, ozone and water swelling.

Used for Applications in Extreme Environments
Compared to conventional rubbers at extreme temperatures, silicone elastomers perform better with higher tensile strength, elongation, tear strength and compression set but do not perform as well as other elastomeric materials.
Translucent Silicone
Translucent silicone rubber is used in Mexico mainly for the manufacture of gaskets, gaskets and seals that require high resistance to very high or very low temperatures.
In addition, this elastomer, which can be sold in the form of rubber rolls or silicone sheets, has excellent resistance to weathering and elements such as ozone and UV rays.
Translucent Silicone
The translucent silicone rubber or silicone gasket is characterized by its very high resistance to high temperature, excellent in seals for food oven doors and all types of heat treatments.
Silicone resists temperature extremes while retaining flexibility and resisting compression set. Silicone elastomers also provide very good resistance to thermal aging, ozone and water swelling.

Frequently Asked Questions about High Temp Silicone
What is high temp silicone?
High temp silicone is a silicone elastomer that remains stable from -58°F to 428°F (-50°C to 220°C). It is physiologically inert, resistant to thermal aging, ozone and water swelling, making it ideal for medical, food and laboratory applications.
What is the temperature range of high temp silicone?
High temp silicone has an operating temperature range of -58°F to 428°F (-50°C to 220°C). It retains flexibility and resists compression set at extreme temperatures.
What is translucent silicone used for?
Translucent silicone is used for gaskets, seals and gaskets that require high resistance to very high or very low temperatures. It is commonly used in oven door seals for the food industry and all types of heat treatments. It is also resistant to weathering, ozone and UV rays.
What is the difference between high temp silicone and translucent silicone?
Both are silicone elastomers with excellent high-temperature resistance. High temp silicone is often used in medical and laboratory applications due to its physiological inertness. Translucent silicone is a see-through variant commonly used for oven door seals and food industry applications where visibility or aesthetics matter.
