Why Tear strength of silicone rubber is a critical and functional property in Gaskets used in Hot air ovens, door gaskets? Silicone gaskets are the preferred gasket for hot air ovens especially ovens used in food industry, it can withstand continuous working temperature of 210 degree Celsius and upto 240 degree Celsius for shorter dwell time. We have special grades that can withstand working temperatures of 280 degree Celsius ++ but will be made against the pre order. But are you facing the issue of tearing or cutting of the gasket? or losing the compression property after a period? Are the gasket gets deformed easily? Causing power loss, material loss, production breakages? At high temperatures silicone rubber will have a slighter change in the tensile, elongation and tear strength, if you choose a low-quality filler general purpose silicone gasket over a high tear, high temperature silicone gasket this happens. The fillers used in silicone can be precipitated, fumed, aluminum t...
