BISCO® HT-6360 — High-Durometer Solid Silicone — Technical Overview & FAQs
Product Overview
BISCO® HT-6360 is a high-durometer solid silicone rubber designed for long-term performance in high-compression, high-temperature sealing applications.
This 60 Shore A material combines excellent mechanical strength with low compression set and outstanding environmental stability. It maintains elasticity across a wide temperature range, ensuring long-lasting seals even under thermal stress and vibration.
Formulated for industrial, aerospace, transportation, and electronic enclosure applications, HT-6360 provides reliable performance where structural integrity and heat resistance are critical.
Applications
High-compression industrial and aerospace gaskets
Engine and equipment covers exposed to temperature cycling
Transportation and rail seals requiring firm, heat-stable elastomers
Enclosure gaskets for electronics, lighting, and HVAC systems
Die-cut or waterjet-cut gasket materials for OEM assemblies

FAQs
What is BISCO HT-6360 used for?
It’s used for high-compression seals and gaskets in industrial and aerospace applications where temperature resistance and durability are essential.
What makes HT-6360 different from other silicones?
HT-6360 offers a firmer 60A durometer, giving it superior extrusion resistance and dimensional stability compared to softer silicone grades.
What temperature range does HT-6360 handle?
It performs reliably from −80 °F to 450 °F, maintaining flexibility and mechanical integrity across extreme thermal conditions.
Is HT-6360 suitable for outdoor or chemical exposure?
Yes — it resists UV, ozone, weathering, and many fluids, making it ideal for outdoor sealing and equipment exposed to environmental elements.
Can HT-6360 be provided in adhesive-backed or custom-cut formats?
Yes — it’s available as sheets, rolls, or die-cut gaskets with optional silicone or acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive backing for easy installation.
