Silicone rubbers (MVQ or VMQ) is characterized by high thermal, weathering and ozone resistance. Silicone rubbers are mostly used for static or quasi-static applications and should not be exposed to dry running.
SKF Ecosil
SKF Ecosil is a silicone rubber (MVQ), which can be used for O-rings, gaskets and special seals. Due to its poor mechanical properties compared to other rubbers, SKF Ecosil is mainly used for static applications. It is highly resistant to weathering, ozone and ageing. The compatibility with mineral oils depends on the content of aromatic hydrocarbons in the oil.
