Advantages of Silicone
Silicone dust cups provide an advantage in certain manufacturing situations as their physical properties
are mostly retained at temperatures of up to 250° Celsius. This allows dust cups to run on presses at
higher temperatures for an extended period of time increasing potential production times Silicone
rubber also resists oils, solvents, and other chemicals at higher temperatures than other plastics.
