VMQ

Silicone (VMQ)

Wide-temperature elastomer for clean industrial, electronics, and precision equipment applications.

Answer-First Summary

  • Temperature Range: -60 C to +230 C, compound-dependent
  • Media Profile: Air, dry heat, selected clean-process contact, and temperature cycling
  • Engineering Role: Stable elastic recovery across broad temperature swings

Good Fit

Best fit for thermal cycling, clean-process contact, and flexible components where oil resistance is not the core requirement.

Typical Application Windows

Electronics enclosure seals

Precision equipment gaskets

Thermal-cycling molded parts
