Lindemann Silikon has been successfully manufacturing silicone products for mechanical engineering for many years. Our expertise is characterized by complex and versatile products. In mechanical engineering, very soft, partly foamed, but also very hard seals are often required. These requirements are met by our silicone. We offer our silicone products with hardnesses from 5° Shore to 90° Shore.
Thanks to our experience in the mechanical engineering industry, we are your contact for reliable silicone seals. Manufactured according to the highest quality standards in Germany.
For the transport sector, Lindemann Silikon manufactures various silicone components for different areas in the transport and railway sector. Our silicone products are the suitable material for fulfilling important fire protection standards required in the railway sector. Silicone seals possess the property of an elastomer. In terms of this property, it is superior to other elastomers such as rubber or EPDM.
Our company has silicone compounds that meet the requirements of the railway industry regarding self-extinguishing and low-smoke properties.
The silicone we produce at Lindemann Silikon is suitable for the automotive industry due to its special properties. Compared to other elastomers, silicone has very high temperature resistance and retains its mechanical properties over a wide temperature range. Silicone is also increasingly used as an insulator for cables.
We have been a supplier to OEMs in the automotive sector for many years.
For many years, we have been producing high-quality silicone products for electrical engineering. In electrical engineering, good insulation is particularly important. Silicone has very good insulating properties. Its electrically non-conductive properties are maintained over a wide temperature range. Further properties that make the material interesting for electrical applications are the
water-repellent surface of silicone, coupled with very low water absorption.
Our silicone products meet the highest quality standards and are often in use for decades.
Higher regulatory requirements lead to an increase in the use of silicone as a material in the construction industry. As there are increasingly stringent legal requirements in the construction sector, it is important that the silicone used meets certain quality criteria. In addition to the increased legal requirements, silicone has the advantage over other elastomers that its external appearance does not significantly change over a long period of several years due to its good UV resistance. Our company offers special flame-resistant materials that meet relevant approvals for the construction industry.
We are your silicone supplier for high-quality silicone articles in the sanitary sector. In sanitary technology, silicone is used as the inner hose of stainless steel braided metal hoses, which are used in heating and pump construction. Here, there are high legal requirements. Accordingly, all materials that come into contact with drinking water must not release substances that lead to health impairment. The application temperature in the drinking water sector for silicone is certified by DVGW up to at least 90°C. Other elastomers generally have lower application temperatures. Our company has silicone compounds that meet the most important national and international approvals.
The demands of milking technology on all milk-carrying components such as hoses and various silicone molded parts regarding hygiene and quality are extremely high. Previously, rubber or EPDM were used, but these materials can no longer meet the high demands. Silicone as a material has been gaining increasing importance in this application area for years due to its hygienic and mechanical properties. Due to the very harsh environment in milking technology, such as environmental influences and cleaning agents, high demands are placed on the silicone material.
Our company has a silicone compound that has been specially optimized for the milking technology sector in terms of: durability, flexibility, and hygiene.
For household goods, the demands on the materials used are increasing. Silicone contains no plasticizers and is finding more and more applications due to increased requirements. Our silicone products can meet all certifications and legal regulations. We at Lindemann Silikon offer high-quality silicone articles for household goods. We produce for all necessary approvals. Our silicone compounds can be manufactured in any color.
Additionally, we also undertake the design of the suitable silicone profile in combination with the determination of the necessary silicone compound for your desired requirements.
Silicone articles are becoming increasingly important for medical technology and are now more widely used. Silicone seals are used for sensitive applications in medicine and pharmacy. In these areas, hygienic requirements and protection against contamination are the highest prerequisites. The biocompatibility of silicone and its good sterilization properties enable the material to be used in a variety of applications.
We produce various silicone seals and silicone hoses for the medical industry. From hose systems and ventilation tubes to laboratory and sterilization accessories made of silicone.
We produce high-quality silicone articles for the gastronomy sector. In the food processing industry, legal regulations and high quality standards are paramount. In the food industry, the use of elastomers that are physiologically harmless is required. Since silicone has no negative effects on the human organism, it fulfills this property. A practical advantage is its easy handling: silicone products are easy to clean and disinfect. The chemical resistance to conventional cleaning agents is very good.
Resistance to steam and grease can be further improved by special silicone compounds.
Our company has silicone compounds that meet all necessary mechanical properties and all required approvals for the gastronomy sector.
Choosing the right material for sealing profiles is crucial for the efficiency and durability of the final product. In the industry, two of the most popular materials are often compared: silicone and EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer). Both elastomers offer a range of advantages, but in many key aspects, silicone clearly stands out. Here’s a…
The three most important silicone manufacturing processes in a practical decision matrix: Extrusion for profiles and hoses, LSR injection molding for complex 3D components, compression molding for large parts and medium series. Tolerances, quantities, tooling and unit costs – and when LSR vs. HTV makes sense.
When is silicone worthwhile as a sealing material in industrial applications? Comparison with EPDM, NBR, FKM and FVMQ, design of silicone O-rings according to ISO 3601, hardness and compression set values and industry-specific approvals for food, pharma and railway technology.
How hot can a silicone hose really get? Datasheet values for standard and high-temperature silicone, what the common ‘up to 300 °C’ and ‘up to 400 °C’ mean, and how to select the right hose based on medium, pressure, and geometry.
What ‘food-grade’ legally means for silicone: BfR Recommendation XV, LFGB §§ 30/31, FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, migration testing with food simulants, temperature limits in food contact, and what to look for in the declaration of conformity.
1. Silicone in the Automotive Industry – Why is it the Material of the Future? Silicone is a modern elastomer that has conquered the automotive industry thanks to its unique properties. Due to many years of research and advanced production technologies, this material is now used in both the series production of passenger cars and in special vehicles. What is its advantage?
