The Uses & Importance of Silicone Plugs, Stoppers & Bungs

Silicone Plugs are an essential product for a number of basic and advanced uses, from forming a simple seal to masking off a particular hole during the coating, baking or painting process. As a popular alternative to EPDM, Silicone rubber is known for its high temperature resistance of up and over 315 degrees and is used for most basic projects. EPDM rubber on the other hand has a slightly lower resistance to heat, however has ideal properties in terms of external and outside uses including resistance to Acids, Alkali's and Oil. Silicone Plugs come in a huge number of variants across a few uses, each one being made specifically for a particular use. For example Silicone Washer Plugs are manufactured with a washer placed in the centre which allows for coverage of both the hole and washer area around a hole. Although there are many options there few solutions better than the standard tapered bung or stoppers range which is the most popular in both the UK and Europe for all basic and advanced masking uses. Silicone is a very versatile material due to its slight flexibility and endurance, this enables its use across multiple production runs or projects as it is easily re-usable, wearing only slightly over time. As a masking product Silicone is recommended for use both as Bungs and Stoppers, holding themselves tightly in place at all times. Overall Silicone is an extremely important material whether you are masking off or not and is an obvious go to choice above many other Rubbers that are out there. - Our range of Plugs, Stoppers & Bungs contains a number of quality solutions for all types of covering, protecting, sealing and masking uses.
