Spare Wheel + Tool Kit Strap Right 44 cm. Silicone Blue for all Lada Niva.
Advantages of silicone Straps over rubber:
1. Temperature resistance
Silicone can withstand temperatures from -60°C to +230°C,
while rubber often only works up to +100–120°C.
This is important in high temperature or temperature fluctuation conditions (for example, in engines or thermal zones).
2. Durability and wear resistance
Silicone Straps do not crack, do not harden, and do not lose elasticity over time.
Especially important during long-term storage or operation in an aggressive environment.
3. Resistance to chemicals and ultraviolet
Silicone tolerates contact better with:
-ozone
-ultraviolet
-oil vapors
-alkalis and weak acids
Rubber is destroyed over time by these factors.
4. Hygienic and non-toxic
Silicone is used in medicine and the food industry,
as it does not emit harmful substances, is easy to clean and sterilize.
Rubber can be toxic and absorb odors.
5. Flexible in any conditions
Silicone remains soft even at very low temperatures,
unlike rubber, which becomes hard.
