IRP rubber mixes

IRP rubber mixes are based on siloxane rubbers and are produced in the following grades: IRP-1338, IRP-1354, IRP-1399, IRP-1399“B”, IRP-1400, IRP-1401. IRP rubber mixes are used for manufacture of heat and frost resistant rubber products, that can perform in the temperature range from -50 °C to +200 °C (short-term +250 °C). For IRP-1354 rubber mix, working temperature range is from -70 °С to +200 °С. Grades IRP-1338, IRP-1354, IRP-1399, IRP-1400, IRP-1401 are designed for fixed connections, insulating and other parts operating in an unstressed state, in air with high ozone content and in electric field conditions. The main advantage of IRP family silicone mixes over rubber mixes based on other types of rubber is that products based on them retain performance in a wide temperature range from -50°C (some from -70°C) to +250°C.

With temperature increase or decrease, the physical and mechanical characteristics of the mixes remain practically unchanged. Also, products based on these mixtures can work for a long time in ozone, solar radiation (which is especially important in the manufacture of rubber goods for aviation equipment) and electric field environments. Products made of IRP silicone mixes have sufficiently high strength while ensuring good elasticity. Therefore, each rubber mix grade will have some distinctive feature. In particular, different grades differ significantly in hardness and resistance to aggressive environments. Among the properties inherent in products based on IRP rubbers, the following can also be distinguished: high durability of products, excellent electrical insulating properties, performance in any climatic zones. Another important feature is the absence of dangerous and harmful compounds (in particular, halogen-containing compounds) in the combustion products of items made from the silicone rubber mixes.
