Silicon compounds

BORFLEX has developed BORSIL, a range of silicone elastomers aimed at being used in extreme temperature and/or harsh chemical (fluorinated silicone) conditions.

There are several lines of silicones:

  • General purpose silicones, temperature resistance ranging from -50 ° C to + 200 ° C which can be raised to 250 ° C,
  • High tear strength silicones, standard silicones with high tearing resistance,
  • High resilience silicones at low DRC (permanent compression set)
  • Low residual compression set silicones with a temperature resistance ranging from -110 ° C to + 200 ° C,
  • EHV silicones (very high temperatures) with a continuous resistance under temperatures ranging from -50 ° C to + 300 ° C,
  • Thermoelectric conductive silicones,
  • “smart” silicones, photo luminescent type (3 colours available) or thermochromics silicones (possibility to select temperature and transition colour , possibility to program 3 colours and 3 temperatures).

BORFLEX silicones are present on numerous market places. They can comply with the requirement s of ATA 50, 52, 53 and 54 for silicones and ATA 61and 63 for fluorinated silicones.  

BORFLEX organization enables the company to deliver quantities of compounds ranging from some kilos to several tons.

Borflex numerous means of Quality control and procedures guarantee its compounds always comply with the customers’ specifications.

“Smart” material

 A “Smart” material reacts to its environment or to stress  by modifying one or several of its properties (colour or luminescence for instance).

BORFLEX has developed an elastomeric “smart” range of compounds:

  • Photo luminescent silicone compound (3 colours are available)
  • Thermochromic silicones compound (possibility to select the temperature and the colour transition, possibility to program 3 colours and 3 temperatures).

Thermal neutrons absorption

BORFLEX is the French and European leader of the rubber industry.
It has been certified ISO-9001 for many years and has developed and optimized this mixture of rubber and B4C powder that is FLEXIBORE®. 

Our plant is equipped for the confection/making and cutting of B4C calendaring of the flexible sheet.

As a rubber solution provider, BORFLEX remains committed to innovation in its products and technology. BORFLEX has developed and optimized FLEXIBORE®, a specific powdered bore (B4C) natural rubber compound.

FLEXIBORE® finished product contains 50% of its weight in B4C powder. The B10 included in our material absorbs the neutrons. The diffusion effect is not significant if compared to the neutron absorption. FLEXIBORE® is also used in neutron spectrometry to reduce background noise.
