"I am a high-consistency rubber (HCR), which means I start as a thick, doughy putty. But after curing, I become a solid, elastic part. My name ‘450’ means I am ultra-high temperature resistant—up to 260°C (500°F) continuously, and I can survive brief spikes to 315°C (600°F)." silicone 450

A young engineer named Lena burst in. "I have a problem," she announced. "I need to build a medical device that goes inside a sterilization machine. The temperature hits 200°C (392°F), and the device will be blasted with steam, ozone, and harsh chemicals." But after curing, I become a solid, elastic part

Metal Mike spoke first. "I can take the heat! But... I rust when wet. And I’m rigid. I might crack your glass housing." "I need to build a medical device that

And that’s why engineers call Silicone 450 "The Quiet Hero of the Extreme World."
