CHEMICAL RESISTANCES
Silicone rubber has good resistance to many chemicals, fluids
and oils encountered in high voltage applications.
Dilute Acids, Alkalis and Aquous Salt Solutions: Whether hot or cold, these solutions have a negligible effect on silicones.
Concentrated Acids and Alkalis: Silicones are attacked by concentrated acids and alkalis, especially oxidizing acids such as Sulphuric acid.
Polar Liquids: Short chain alcohols and acetone cause very little swelling and can be used in appropriate applications.
Nonpolar Liquids: Linear or cyclic hydrocarbons, aliphatic or aromatic mineral oils, gasoline etc. cause severe swelling. They can only be used to a very limited extent.
The table below lists the effect of various chemicals on silicone rubber when fully immersed for 336 hours at room temperature and 120F.

ROHS COMPLIANCE
In February 2003, the European Union issued Directive 2002/95/EC regarding the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment.
Specifically, the RoHS Directive calls for the elimination of the use of the six below listed environmentally hazardous substances contained in electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market effective July 2006.
- Lead (Pb)
- Mercury (Hg)
- Cadmium (Cd)
- Hexavalent Chromium (Cr+6)
- Polybrominated Biphenyl (PBB)
- Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether (PBDE)
For the purpose of RoHS Regulations, a maximum concentration value of up to 0.1% by weight in homogenous materials for lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB and PBDE and up to 0.01% by weight in homogenous materials for cadmium will be permitted.
This notice is to inform you that all silicone products provided to you by Midsun Specialty Products, Inc. fully comply with the RoHS Directive.
