AlteSil™ Silicone Cord

AlteSil™ Silicone Cord is useful for sealing applications to produce O Rings, seals, packings or gaskets. Cord is made from high temperature white, food grade Silicone Rubber. Joined rings can be formed by cutting to length and gluing with silicone RTV sealant (sold separately). For best results cut ends to be joined at an angle, apply silicone sealant and hold together with pins for 24 hours, then grind or sand off excess sealant. Alternatively cyanacrylate glue may be used for instantly formed O Rings for lower temperature use. This product is supplied talced to help with handling, reduce static and reduce attraction of dust and foreign debris. If you are using silicone sealant with this product talc should be removed with methylated spirit to aid adhesion. Many other sizes and colours are available with quick delivery.
