Built for the Industries That Demand More
Sebase silicone materials are specified by engineers across four critical sectors where performance, reliability, and longevity are non-negotiable.
Automotive
Modern vehicles demand materials that perform reliably across extreme temperature cycles, exposure to fuels and lubricants, and decades of service life. Sebase silicone compounds are engineered to meet the rigorous requirements of OEM and Tier-1 automotive suppliers — from conventional ICE applications to the emerging demands of electric vehicle platforms.
Key Engineering Challenges
- Operating temperatures from -40°C to 200°C under the hood
- Resistance to engine oils, transmission fluids, and coolants
- Long-term compression set resistance for sealing integrity
- EV battery thermal management and electrical insulation
Typical Applications
Engine Gaskets & Seals
High-temperature silicone gaskets for valve covers, oil pans, and intake manifolds
EV Battery Encapsulation
Thermally conductive potting compounds for battery module protection
HVAC Duct Seals
Flexible silicone seals for cabin air management systems
Vibration Dampeners
Filled silicone elastomers for NVH reduction in powertrain mounts
Connector Seals
LSR-moulded seals for electrical connectors and sensor housings
Appliance
Household and commercial appliances require silicone materials that combine food-grade safety with resistance to repeated thermal cycling, steam, and cleaning agents. Sebase offers FDA-compliant and food-contact grades alongside high-temperature compounds for demanding appliance environments.
Key Engineering Challenges
- Repeated thermal cycling from ambient to 250°C in ovens and grills
- Resistance to steam, detergents, and food acids in dishwashers
- Food-contact compliance for FDA and EU food safety regulations
- Long service life with minimal compression set in door seals
Typical Applications
Oven Door Seals
High-temperature silicone gaskets maintaining seal integrity through thousands of cycles
Dishwasher Pump Gaskets
Chemical-resistant silicone seals for pump housings and door perimeters
Heating Element Insulation
Silicone sleeving and pads for thermal insulation of heating elements
Refrigerator Door Gaskets
Low-compression-set silicone profiles for airtight refrigeration sealing
Coffee Machine Seals
FDA-grade silicone O-rings and gaskets for hot beverage equipment
Electrical
Electrical and power distribution applications demand silicone materials with outstanding dielectric properties, resistance to tracking and arc, and long-term stability under UV and ozone exposure. Sebase electrical-grade silicones are formulated for insulation, potting, and sealing in high-voltage environments.
Key Engineering Challenges
- High dielectric strength for insulation in HV applications
- Resistance to tracking, arc, and corona discharge
- Outdoor UV and ozone resistance for long-term reliability
- Flame retardancy to UL 94 V-0 for safety-critical assemblies
Typical Applications
Transformer Potting
Low-viscosity encapsulants for dry-type transformer coil protection
Cable Insulation & Jacketing
Extruded silicone compounds for high-temperature wire and cable
Busbar Insulation Pads
Silicone sheets for electrical isolation in switchgear and busbars
Connector & Terminal Seals
LSR-moulded seals for weatherproof electrical connectors
PCB Encapsulation
Flame-retardant potting compounds for circuit board protection
Industrial
Industrial process environments expose sealing and insulation materials to aggressive chemicals, wide temperature swings, and continuous mechanical stress. Sebase industrial silicone compounds are formulated for durability in pumps, pipelines, process equipment, and outdoor infrastructure.
Key Engineering Challenges
- Resistance to aggressive chemicals, solvents, and process fluids
- Wide operating temperature range for process equipment
- Mechanical durability under continuous compression and vibration
- Outdoor weathering resistance for infrastructure applications
Typical Applications
Pump & Valve Seals
Chemical-resistant silicone diaphragms and seals for fluid handling equipment
Pipe Flange Gaskets
High-pressure silicone gaskets for process piping and heat exchangers
Expansion Joints
Reinforced silicone bellows for thermal expansion in ductwork and piping
Thermal Interface Pads
Filled silicone pads for heat dissipation in industrial electronics
Outdoor Weatherseals
UV-stable silicone profiles for building facades, glazing, and enclosures
