Silicone Grommets: Solutions for Every Application

Silicone Grommets are small, flexible tubes made of silicone rubber designed to protect cables, wires, or hoses from damage caused by abrasion, cutting, crushing, or other forms of wear and tear. They are inserted into a pre-drilled hole in an enclosure, panel, or other material to allow the passage of a cable or wire while protecting it.

Customization Options for Heat Resistant and High Temp Silicone Grommets

As a custom silicone manufacturer, we can create specialized silicone grommets adapted to your specific needs, featuring unique properties such as high temperature resistance up to 350°C (662°F), UV stability for outdoor applications, chemical resistance to fuels and oils, or custom colors and textures – contact us today to discuss your project!

Protection and Safety Features of Silicone Grommets

Protection from Abrasion: Shielding cables, wires, and hoses from damage due to friction.

  1. Prevention of Water Ingress: Blocking moisture entry into sensitive electronics, machinery, or equipment.
  2. Dust Protection: Preventing dust accumulation that can cause malfunction or corrosion.
  3. Electrical Shock Prevention: Preventing electrical discharges that could harm personnel or damage equipment.
  4. Reducing Noise and Vibration: Minimizing vibrations and noise levels in mechanical systems, machinery, or equipment.

Limitations of Silicone Grommets

  1. Flammable Gas Protection: Not sufficient against flammable gases such as gasoline, propane.
  2. Corrosive Substance Protection: Not effective against corrosive substances like acid, bleach.
  3. Oil and Petroleum-Based Product Protection: Not suitable for oil and petroleum-based products like motor oil, diesel fuel.
  4. Chemical and Toxin Protection: Not adequate protection against chemicals and toxins such as pesticides, chemicals.

When Silicone Grommets Are Insufficient

When Silicone Grommets are insufficient, specialized sealing materials can be used:

  1. Teflon (PTFE) gaskets: High-temperature-resistant and suitable for fuels, oils, and chemicals.
  2. Nitrile (NBR) gaskets: Resistant to oil, fuel, and many chemicals, making them suitable for applications involving hydrocarbons.
  3. Fluoroelastomer (FKM) gaskets: High-temperature-resistant and suitable for fuels, oils, and chemicals, including some corrosive substances.
  4. EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) gaskets: Resistant to oil, fuel, and many chemicals, making them suitable for applications involving hydrocarbons.

Specialized Silicone-based Gaskets

For applications where standard silicone grommets are sufficient, but additional protection is required due to specific conditions (e.g., high-temperature exposure, chemical resistance), our specialized silicone-based gaskets can be used. These gaskets offer enhanced properties compared to standard silicone grommets.

Some examples of Specialized Silicone-based Gaskets include:

  • High-temperature-resistant silicone (HTS) gaskets: Suitable for applications where temperatures exceed 350°C (662°F.)
  • Fluorosilicone (FVMQ) gaskets: Provide excellent resistance to fuels, oils, and chemicals
  • Platinum-cured silicone (PCS) gaskets: Offer high-temperature stability and chemical resistance
  • Silicone-coated fiberglass gaskets: Combine the benefits of silicone with the strength and heat resistance of fiberglass

These specialized silicone-based gaskets can be used in various applications where standard silicone grommets are insufficient, such as:

  • Aerospace engineering (e.g., engine components, fuel systems)
  • Chemical processing equipment
  • High-temperature electronics
  • Fuel cells and power generation systems

We can offer test prototypes of these specialized silicone-based gaskets to ensure they meet your specific requirements.
