FromRubber shares proven tips to prevent dust from sticking to silicone bakeware, using anti-static methods, proper storage, and expert cleaning techniques.

Even with perfect application, RTV silicone gaskets can leak oil due to underlying issues like flange flex, oil-induced swelling, or chemical incompatibility.

Selecting the correct Shore A hardness for silicone washer is critical to prevent leaks and ensure longevity. This guide explains durometer scales (20 to 90 Shore A), their effect on compression set and sealing force, and how to match hardness to applications like fluid handling or vibration damping. Includes technical tables and ASTM test tips

For continuous steam and hot water seals applications exceeding 120°C, select EPDM. Select silicone for steam and hot water seals only when dry heat or intermittent low‑pressure steam dominate the duty cycle

The disadvantages of silicone gaskets compared to NBR gaskets for oil pan applications.oil swell resistance, tear strength, compression set in hot oil, gas permeability, cost, and adhesion limitations

We explore a medical infusion pump silicone keypads requiring chemical resistance and silent operation, and an outdoor payment terminal keypad built for UV stability and extreme temperatures. Each case breaks down specific material choices, tactile engineering solutions, and validation results, demonstrating how minute details in durometer, sealing, carbon pill placement, and surface finishing directly impact reliability and user experience in demanding environments.

This comprehensive guide details the 7 most common silicone keypads defects—dimensional warping, tactile inconsistency, carbon pill failure, tearing, adhesive issues, cosmetic flaws, and legend wear—explaining their causes, impacts, and professional prevention methods to ensure product reliability.
