While most plastics will begin to melt at high temperatures, silicone does not have a melting point and remains solid until combustion occurs. At high temperatures (200-450oC), silicone rubber will slowly lose its mechanical properties over time, becoming brittle.
How much heat can silicone handle?
Silicone rubber, unlike the majority of other rubbers, can withstand extreme temperatures way above 200°C and down to as low as -60°C without deforming.

Can silicone be melted?
Yes, Silicone melt at high temperatures of around 1414 degrees Celcius. Unlike plastic that can easily melt, Silicone does not easily melt. At a high temperature of about 400 – 500 degrees Celcius, Silicone hardly looses its physical properties. The Silicone oxygen bond is very stable and it cannot be oxidized easily.
