Silicone grades

Low-friction silicone (low friction surface)

When silicone must glide: BIW offers specially refined silicone products with a low-friction surface – for easier assembly and optimised mobility in dynamic applications.

– Slippery surface thanks to special finish
– Ideal for moving applications or retraction processes
– High elasticity is fully retained

About the product
Reduced surface friction
Special coating or co-extrusion significantly reduces friction - ideal for hose and cable protection.
Easy to install
Improved sliding properties make it easier to pull in, pull over or move - without lubricant.
Suitable for movement
The material remains elastic and resistant even under dynamic stress.
No detachment or residue
The friction-reducing surface is durable, abrasion-resistant and silicone-compatible.
Temperature and media resistant
The low-friction function is maintained even when exposed to heat, cold, moisture or chemicals.
Individually combinable
Slip-resistant silicones are also available with other functions such as UV resistance, colouring or co-extrusion.

Product description

Low-friction silicone from BIW has been specially developed for applications in which conventional silicone surfaces cause too much friction. Targeted surface refinement or material combinations result in a silicone that is easier to install, move or use – without compromising on elasticity or thermal resistance.

This property is particularly in demand for cable bushings, protective sleeves, sealing profiles or connecting hoses that have to be installed or moved frequently. The material is ideal for the automotive industry, medical technology, electrical installations and device construction.

Available as a hose, profile, cord or sealing system – with additional functions such as colour, flame retardancy or food approval on request.
