Custom Silicone Elastomers

When it comes to versatility, silicone offers capabilities unique among elastomeric compounds.

Like glass, quartz, and sand, silicone rubber’s basic structure consists of silicone-oxygen bonds––naturally tough, chemically inert.

And yet for all this ruggedness, the basic methyl(CH3) molecule can be tailored to achieve a wide range of desired product attributes and benefits.

For example, add phenyls to the mix, and you can improve low temperature flexibility and radiation resistance. Add vinyl and you add vulcanization characteristics, as well as compression set properties and ozone resistance. Kirkhill-TA’s chemists are experts at exploiting these qualities for your benefit, regardless of the industry in in which you compete.

Silicone rubber is the undisputed champion at providing maximum reliability in applications such as automotive and marine gasketing, building and lighting extrusions, gaskets, and weather seals, and electronics applications of all kinds, including conductive elastomers, oriented wire in silicone RFI, electronic cabinet gasketing EMI, and carbon-filled compounds.

From childrens toy to our national defense, from everyday plumbing and electrical needs to mission-critical Dimethyl Polysiloxane aerospace requirements, Kirkhill-TA provides the most successful silicone options available.

When quality and reliability are your criteria in quantities of 5 to 50,000 lbs, Kirkhill-TA is your choice!
