Silicon Rubber Sheet

 Silicone Rubber Sheet

Silicone is unbeatably one of the best forms of rubber available in the market. In terms of applicability, the silicone rubber in itself is inert, very flexible and can be used in medical environments as well.

Features:

Silicone Rubber Sheet is primarily composed of Silicone Polymer which is typically synthetic in nature. It is soft to touch, lightweight and highly composite as well. In addition, they are considered to be highly temperature resistant and can bear temperatures up to +250° C.

This is precisely the reason why they are a very commonly used form of rubber sheet. The ability to withstand high temperature and heat has increased their popularity.

What is most alluring is that they can keep the natural elasticity, performance and widest range of temperatures. Further, it may be molded in almost any shape and form.

Its unique shining and lubricating properties make it available in both solid and liquid for. Furthermore, it remains unaffected by extreme weather conditions such as heavy downpour, water, snow, Ozone or excessive heat. Silicone rubber has superior resistance to water and this makes it an excellent electrical insulator. Its electrical insulating qualities don’t change much despite extreme environmental stresses – seen as a very promising factor in its adoption.

When it come to their mechanical properties, silicone has comparatively low tensile strength, elongation and tear strength, however they keep constant even at high temperatures but should not be used with high pressure steam. In terms of chemicals too, they experience moderate resistance to general chemical products, however acids, alkalis, esters and ketone should be necessarily avoided.

Application:

A great choice for sealing options, Silicone Rubber Sheets are widely used in the food packaging industry after being marked as food grade. They leave no smell or taste when sealed. Its application can also be witnessed on a large scale in the automobile industry as it can bear high temperature. Further, it is also deemed suitable for pharmaceuticals and related medical applications. In the electronics Industry, silicone gaskets are used to resist high temperature. High elongation silicone sheeting is designed especially for industrial lamination processes that require usage of large-sized protective membranes and high temperature resistance.
