| Electrical conductivity |
Conductive silicone rubbers contain electrically
conductive materials such as carbon. A range of products are available, with resistance varying from 0.01ヘ·m to 10ヘ·m. Their other properties are basically the same as general purpose silicone rubbers. Conductive silicone rubbers are thus used extensively as a material for keyboard contact points, components used in heaters, an antistatic material, and high-voltage cable shielding. |

| Typically, the volume resistivity of commercially available conductive silicone rubbers is between 0.01ヘ·m and 10ヘ·m. At values above 100ヘ·m, resistance changes greatly with small amounts of carbon; attaining consistent resistance in the 10kヘ·m?100Mヘ·m range is particularly difficult. |
