- Safe bonding (on glass) with RTV-silicones
- Most exact profile shaping
Permanent deformation
The permanent deformation after use of BSP-Silicones is much smaller than other types of rubber. DIN 7863-1 requires for rubber gaskets for use in window and façade construction a DV of ≤ 35%. BSP- Silicones surpasses EPDM and CR rubber behavior by far. In addition, this will be fulfilled in the range of -60°C up to 120°C.
Thermal properties
BSP-profiles are from -60°C. to 200°C. and with special recipes even up to 250°C dry heat, permanently elastic. The heat conductivity is at 3,5.10-4 cal/cm ec.gr = 0,15H m/sec. At moist heat or vapor BSP profiles can be used up to 140ºC.
Chemical resistance
HTV silicone is resistant to acids and alkalis. Also against polar solvents such as ketone, ester, aliphatic, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons. By mineral oils swelling can occur which can be brought back.
Bonding
BSP-silicone profiles can be vulcanized with a variety of silicone sealants on glass, aluminum, plastics, and stucco. Glue and silicone parts become one by vulcanization. Further advice and/or own tests are recommended
Compatibility with lacquers and paints
Varnishes and paints don’t attach to silicone. At contact BSP profiles won’t be inhibited in function nor will discoloration occur.
Plasticizers
BSP-silicone rubber profiles don’t contain any plasticizers. If they are in permanent contact with plastics such as polycarbonate and polyacrylate no deterioration will occur. By using BSP-silicones instead of other rubber types, tear stress corrosion on synthetic materials will be avoided as well.
