Materials technology: VMQ [silicone]
Silicone rubber is generally non-reactive, stable, and resistant to extreme environments and temperatures while still maintaining its useful properties:
- excellent electrical properties
- resistant to high temperatures
- flexible to low temperatures
- poor tensile and abrasion resistance.
