Technical Data Sheet: Conductive Silicone Rubber
General Notes:
Because of the silicon-oxide linkage, the properties of silicones have a wider temperature capability, improved water resistance, and better oxidative stability than polymers which depend on carbon. The conductive silicone rubber vacuum cups have excellent characteristics for use in high temperature applications. The electrical conductivity properties provide a low resistance path for sensitive ESD applications. Limitations are that it is not resistant to strong alkalis and is attacked by halogenated solvents.
