Silicone belts
Silicone belts are specialised strips resistant to extreme temperatures, UV radiation and intensive use. Made of high-quality silicone elastomers, they ensure stable operating parameters in industrial applications where flexibility, dielectric properties and chemical resistance are required. Used in machines, seals and technological processes, they guarantee long-term, failure-free operation.
What are silicone belts and what are they used for?
Silicone belts are strips made of silicone elastomers with high resistance to temperature, chemicals and ageing. They are used in transport, sealing and process applications where dimensional stability, flexibility and operation in extreme environmental conditions are required. They perform well in packaging lines, industrial equipment, guiding systems and in applications requiring food-grade or dielectric certification.
What distinguishes silicone belts from other elastomers?
Thermal stability, resistance to UV/ozone, low ageing degradation and high flexibility over a wide temperature range.
Can silicone belts operate in contact with oils and greases?
Yes — most silicone compounds exhibit high resistance to synthetic oils, greases and atmospheric factors.
Are silicone belts compatible with food-grade standards?
Yes — versions compliant with FDA, BfR and EU 1935/2004 are available.
What standards and certifications can silicone belts intended for contact with food comply with?
They most often comply with FDA 21 CFR, BfR XV and EU 1935/2004 standards, which enables their use in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
Do silicone belts maintain their properties during continuous operation at high temperature?
Yes — silicone exhibits low thermal degradation, maintains flexibility and does not lose its mechanical properties during prolonged exposure to heat.
