Mescole in Gomma siliconicaSilicone elastomers have an inorganic chain polymers characterized by having all silicon-oxygen backbones. Organic substituents are directly linked to a silicon atom. Usually, the organic substituents are methyl, vinyl and phenyl groups. Given the chemical composition of these polymers, differing from that of traditional synthetic rubber, silicone compounds are quite unique and exhibit characteristics associated with high value performances.

They exhibit a high resistance to hot air (+ 200°C with a pick of + 300°C only if the period is limited and if the polymer used is of a certain grade), and they are able to preserve, in time, their flexibility at very low temperatures (- 55°C). Under these conditions, they also maintain, with practically no variation, their electrical and mechanical properties. The vulcanized products are resistant to oxygen, ozone, and weathering conditions, and they are not degraded by UV rays. Prodotti in siliconeVulcanized items, produced with a specially-designed compound, are physiologically inert, odourless, tasteless, and in some cases, they can be used in the production of articles utilized in the alimentary, medical, and pharmaceutical industries.

Other typical applications include those in the automotive and aerospace industries, fashion and sport fields, wire & cable and electrical insulators. MESGO S.p.A, working in partnership with prestigious industries and university laboratories, is able to provide a full range of compounds that not only will comply with customer and industry specifications, but will also perform according to different production methods.
