Materials
Our vacuum cups are manufactured from two materials:
- PVC vinyl: This is our primary material as we find it to be the softest yet hardest wearing material - the soft, pliable nature of the product offers excellent sealing capacity with wear resistance which is greater than rubber.
- Silicone: This material is also soft but provides a greater temperature range (see chart below). However it does not have the same wear resistant properties of vinyl. Although we carry some silicone cups in stock most are available on a special order basis
| Material | Working temp | Wear resistance | Oil resistance |
| Vinyl | 0°c to + 50°c | Excellent | Fair |
| Silicone | -45°c to + 200°c | Good | Good |
