HEAT CURED SILICONE RUBBER
Heat-cured silicone rubber, also known as high-temperature vulcanized (HTV) silicone rubber, is a versatile elastomer that undergoes a curing process at elevated temperatures to achieve its final properties. Composed of silicon, oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen atoms, heat-cured silicone rubber exhibits exceptional thermal stability, flexibility, and resistance to extreme temperatures, making it suitable for various demanding applications.
