High-strength quality
Every sector has its own specific requirements.
We formulate the elastomer to meet those requirements precisely.
Resistant to fire and heat
Environments involving direct flames or repeated thermal shocks: silicone, Vamac® and CSM formulations, which are self-extinguishing and produce non-toxic fumes.
−40 to +200 °C
Protection against chemical, radiological, nuclear and biological (CBRN) hazards
Viton® or CSM fabric for full-body protective clothing: zero permeation by acids, alkalis and halogenated solvents.
