General Purpose FDA Grade Silicone Sheet - Black

• Sold per linear metre.
• Silicone offers many advantages over other forms of elastomers.
• It is well known for its use in food, pharmaceutical and other clean industry applications.
• It is a resilient material capable of maintaining many of its properties at extremely low and high temperatures.
• Some grades of silicone rubber can remain flexible, and show low levels of compression set, down to temperatures as low as -100 °C and as high as 315 °C.
• It is naturally electrically insulating but can be compounded to offer high resistance for the bleeding of static charges or to offer a low resistance to conduct signal voltages.
• High tear resistance, good elongation at break and tensile strength are some of the other characteristics of silicone.
• Silicone will keep constant even at high temperatures, but should not be used with high pressure steam.
• Silicone has excellent resistance to heat (dry air), at +200°C intermittent and will remain flexible at low temperatures of -70°C and is also resistant to ultra-violet light, Ozone, sea water and weathering.
• Silicone also exhibits low in flammability and low smoke toxicity.
• Our silicone solid sheets are available in 1.2 metres width and can be bought as individual 1 metre lengths or multiples of 1m and are available in 10m or 5m rolls depending on the thickness.
• Colours include; translucent (opaque), white, red oxide as standard and blue, grey and black are readily available.
• The thickness range are between 0.3mm and 12mm, although other thicknesses can be supplied on request.
• The standard hardness is 60° shore and we can offer hardness from 30° to 80° in some instances. Please ring an advisor to check if unsure.

We also offer in Solid sheeting:

• Cutting and fabrication service. Gaskets, seals and strip.

• Moulded sheet for smaller applications. Colour and hardness variations in small quantity catered for in moulded sheet from 12"x12", shore hardness range 30° to 80°

• Adhesive backing: Cut sheet and gaskets can be supplied with a pressure sensitive adhesive.

• Colour matching service. If you wish to colour match to silicone sheeting, we offer a service to nearest RAL/ PANTONE colour chart or to sample swatches. Please ask for more information if required.
