HTV SILICONE
Engineered for Durability. Built for Demanding Applications
SILITEH develops HTV silicone components with material, geometry and process requirements reviewed for each application.
Technical inquiry
WHAT IS HTV
From Solid Silicone Base to Molded Component
HTV processing starts with a solid silicone compound. The manufacturing route, tooling and vulcanization conditions are defined around the component and its operating context.
- Material preparation
- Molding route
- Production review
WHY HTV
Performance You Can Rely On
Temperature requirements
Temperature, media and operating conditions are reviewed before material selection.
Mechanical requirements
Hardness, strength and deformation requirements are specified for the component.
Environmental conditions
Environmental exposure and operating conditions are reviewed for the intended application.
Service-life considerations
Expected service conditions are reviewed for the defined application.
Production planning
Tooling, production stages and verification points are planned around the project.
Quality control
Inspection criteria can be defined for material, geometry and the production process.
