Cure System: Peroxide-Cured
Standard silicone o-ring compounds are usually peroxide-cured. Platinum-cured compounds offer better flexible properties and very low volatile matter. Platinum-cured silicone o-rings usually are applied in medical systems or other required low volatile matter. However, they need to be produced in a clean room and with a higher cost of platinum catalyzer, making them more expensive than peroxide-cured ones.
Silicone O-Ring Temperature Range:
Standard Low Temp: -60°C (-76°F)
Standard High Temp: 225°C (437°F)
