WHY HTV

Performance You Can Rely On

Molded technical silicone components
01

Temperature requirements

Temperature, media and operating conditions are reviewed before material selection.

02

Mechanical requirements

Hardness, strength and deformation requirements are specified for the component.

03

Environmental conditions

Environmental exposure and operating conditions are reviewed for the intended application.

04

Service-life considerations

Expected service conditions are reviewed for the defined application.

05

Production planning

Tooling, production stages and verification points are planned around the project.

06

Quality control

Inspection criteria can be defined for material, geometry and the production process.
