Product Description
Silicone Rubber Sheets
Silicon Rubber Sheets that are resistant to ozone oxidation, ultraviolet rays and corona discharge. These sheets are processed in high-pressure hydraulic molding machines under controlled temperature, which ensure uniform physical properties of the sheets.
Specifications:
Exceptional Material PerformanceThese silicone rubber sheets deliver robust mechanical strength with tensile strength ranging from 7 to 11 MPa, and tear strength at a minimum of 18 N/mm. Excellent compressibility, high dielectric strength, and resistance to oils, acids, alkalis and solvents make them ideal for demanding environments. The smooth finish on both sides ensures consistent sealing and insulation, contributing to reliability across applications.
Versatile Applications and CustomizationThe sheets are engineered for use in gaskets, electrical and thermal insulation, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices. The standard size is 1 meter wide, with thicknesses from 1 to 5 mm, and lengths between 10 to 15 meters. Customized dimensions and colors are available, catering to specific project needs. Their odorless and waterproof nature is particularly valued in hygiene-sensitive and outdoor settings.
FAQ's of Silicone Rubber Sheets:
Q: How should silicone rubber sheets be stored to maintain their longevity?
A: To ensure maximum shelf life and performance, silicone rubber sheets should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of ozone. This prevents premature aging, preserves their elastic and dielectric properties, and avoids any unwanted changes in physical characteristics.
Q: What industries commonly use these silicone rubber sheets and why?
A: Silicone rubber sheets are utilized across various sectors including the food industry, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, electrical insulation, and gasketing. Their non-toxic, odorless, flame-retardant, and chemical-resistant properties make them especially suited for applications where hygiene, durability, and safety are critical requirements.
Q: When are these sheets recommended over natural rubber or other elastomers?
A: Silicone rubber sheets are preferred when high temperature resistance (up to 230C continuous), excellent weather/ozone resistance, and chemical inertness are needed. Unlike natural rubber, they are fully waterproof, have minimal volatile content, and do not degrade in harsh outdoor environments, making them ideal for long-term, intensive use.
Q: Where can these silicone sheets be customized, and what options are available?
A: Customization is available directly from manufacturers, exporters, or suppliers in India. Options include different thicknesses (1-5 mm), widths, lengths, colors, hardness (40A-80A), and surface finish. Specific requirements for electrical, medical, or food processing uses can also be accommodated.
Q: What is the process behind the manufacturing of these silicone sheets?
A: The sheets are produced using roll calendaring or moulding techniques, utilizing pure silicone or optionally filled variants. This ensures consistent density (1.4 g/cm3), a smooth finish, and tight thickness tolerances (0.3 mm) throughout the product, resulting in superior quality and long-lasting durability.
Q: How do silicone rubber sheets benefit outdoor and electrical applications?
A: These sheets provide outstanding ozone and weather resistance, crucial for outdoor use. Their high dielectric strength (>20 kV/mm) and excellent thermal stability make them indispensable in electrical insulation, while their self-extinguishing flame resistance (UL 94 V-0) adds a critical safety dimension.
