MVQ material

MVQ Silicon material

reddish-brown/blue/natural MVQ Silicone material

MVQ | FDA is a methyl vinyl silicone rubber commonly known as Silicone. It has poor mechanical properties and is therefore mainly used in static applications. It is highly resistant to weathering, ozone and ageing and is used for applications in contact with foodstuff, hot air and mineral oils. MVQ | FDA has a high gas permeability. MVQ | FDA corresponds to foodgrade standards.

Resistance MVQ Silicon elastomers

Good resistance
Low resistance
Engine and transmission oil of aliphatic nature, also sulfur oils
Aromatic mineral oils
Brake fluids based on glycol
Fuel
Adipose and vegetable oils
Silicone oils and grease

Aromatic hydrocarbon (toulene, benzol)
Fire-resistant pneumatic fluids HFD-R (phosphoric acid ester) and HFD-S(chlorinated hydrocarbons)
low molecular weight chlorinated hydrocarbons (trichlorethylene)
Dilute salt solutions
Overheated steam up to 120°С (only short time steam sterilization is possible)
Acids and alkalis

Application

MVQ can be used for production of O-Rings and other seal parts. MVQ is mainly used in cases where are no other alternatives because of high temperatures and chemical stress. Due to its low mechanical properties use should be reduced to static application.

MVQ is used as a sealing material in the pharmaceutical and food industry.

Mainly used

  • Special seals in the chemical and food industry
  • Rotary shaft seals for special use
  • O-rings

All above established data results from random tests which were taken from the functioning production. All data was stated based on standard test-products in accordance with ISO, DIN and ASTM standards and can substantially not be extended to the completed seal. Our practical technical recommendation, either oral, written or through tests is given in conformity with our best knowledge. However, this data is to be regarded as non-obligatory advice, also taking into consideration any protective rights of a third party, and does not acquit you from making tests with our product in relation to its adaptability for the assigned process and intendment. Utilization, application and processing of the products befall completely outside of our control and are therefore solely your liability.
