The energy sector depends on materials that perform reliably under extreme temperatures, mechanical stress, chemical exposure, and long service cycles. Silicone elastomers—particularly specification‑grade and aerospace‑grade formulations—play a critical role in sealing, insulation, gasketing, and equipment protection across oil & gas, power generation, renewables, and grid‑level infrastructure. ElastaPro manufactures U.S.‑made silicone sheet and uncured compounds engineered to meet the demanding specifications required in these environments.
High‑Temperature Silicone for Power Generation
Power generation equipment—turbines, generators, switchgear, and high‑temperature enclosures—requires elastomers that maintain physical properties under sustained thermal load. ElastaPro’s general‑purpose and specification‑grade silicone sheets offer continuous service from –80°F to +450°F, with intermittent performance up to 500°F. These materials resist thermal cycling, ozone, UV, and electrical tracking, making them ideal for:
Generator and turbine gasketing
High‑temperature insulation pads
Electrical enclosure seals
Vibration‑control components
Many grades meet A‑A‑59588, ASTM D2000, and UL 94HB, ensuring compliance with common industrial and energy‑sector requirements.
Oil & Gas and Petrochemical Specifications
Oil & gas environments introduce additional challenges: hydrocarbons, steam, lubricants, and aggressive chemicals. ElastaPro supplies fluorosilicone (FVMQ) materials engineered for fuel and solvent resistance, making them suitable for upstream and downstream applications where standard VMQ silicone would degrade.
Key specifications supported include:
AMS3325–3327 fuel‑resistant fluorosilicones
High‑durometer grades for flange gaskets and bolted-joint sealing
Low‑compression‑set materials for long‑term reliability in high‑pressure systems
These materials are available as sheet, continuous roll, or uncured compound for molding custom seals, diaphragms, and valve components.
Silicone for Renewable Energy Systems
Solar, wind, and battery‑storage systems rely on materials that withstand outdoor exposure, electrical stress, and long service life. Silicone’s inherent UV stability, dielectric strength, and weather resistance make it a preferred choice for:
Junction‑box gaskets
Inverter and power‑electronics sealing
Environmental barriers for battery enclosures
Vibration‑damping pads for wind‑turbine assemblies
ElastaPro’s platinum‑cured silicones offer excellent clarity, purity, and long‑term elasticity—ideal for sensitive electronics and clean‑energy components.
Uncured Silicone Compounds for Custom Fabrication
Energy‑sector OEMs and fabricators often require molded parts rather than sheet goods. ElastaPro supplies uncured silicone compounds ready for compression molding, transfer molding, calendering, or extrusion. Available in VMQ, FVMQ, and specialty blends, these compounds meet:
ISO 9001:2015
AS9100D
UL 94V‑0 flame‑resistance requirements
FDA and USP Class VI for clean‑energy and filtration systems
Both platinum‑cured and peroxide‑cured systems are available depending on thermal, mechanical, and regulatory needs.
