What Are the Typical Applications of Silicone Rubber Sheeting

Silicone Rubber Sheeting has various applications due to its exceptional characteristics like resilience to extreme temperatures, chemical inertness, electrical insulation properties, and flexibility. Here are some common applications:

• Medical and Healthcare
• Food and Beverage Industry
• Aerospace and Automotive.
• Electronics
• HVAC and Plumbing
• Industrial Machinery
• Pharmaceutical and Laboratory Equipment

What Are the Properties of Silicone Rubber?

Silicone rubber is a high-performance elastomer with exceptional properties that make it suitable for various applications across various industries. Here are some of the key properties:

• Temperature Resistance: Silicone rubber has excellent high and low-temperature resistance. It can operate normally within a wide temperature range, typically -55°C to 300°C (-67°F to 572°F), and can withstand even higher temperatures for short periods.
• Chemical Resistance: Silicone rubber is chemically inert and resistant to most chemicals, including water, oils, and some acids. It’s particularly resistant to weathering effects like ozone, UV, and radiation exposure.
• Electrical Properties: Silicone rubber offers exceptional electrical insulating properties. It’s often used in applications requiring high dielectric strength, volume resistivity, and electrical resistance, even at high temperatures.
• Flexibility and Elasticity: Silicone rubber maintains flexibility and elasticity over a broad temperature range and has excellent compression set resistance, meaning it can spring back into shape following reduction.
• Biocompatibility: Silicone rubber is non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and doesn’t support bacterial growth, making it suitable for various medical and food-related applications.
• Low Toxicity and Smoke: During a fire, silicone rubber items do not emit toxic gases and produce very low smoke, which is why it’s often used in safety-critical applications, such as seals and insulation for doors, cables, and lines in buildings and transportation.
• Durability: Silicone rubber is highly durable with excellent ageing properties. It can withstand long-term weathering, UV, and ozone exposure without losing its mechanical properties.
