Benefits: Red Silicone Rubber Sheets (General)

Silicone Sheets are a versatile tool offering several key benefits including:

Superior conformity to part shapes
Being easily sliced/diced into smaller components without the expense of custom tooling
Use in testing/prototyping specifications for silicone thickness and durometer before pulling trigger on custom tooling and ready-to-use, custom parts.
Providing non-marring surface ideal for specific applications such as end of arm tooling.

Benefits: United Silicone High Temp Silicone Sheets

United Silicone´s sheet material has excellent thermal characteristics and is available in a wide variety of options and formats to best meet the needs of a wide variety of applications.

Multiple Silicone Formulations

Ultrasil®

Heat Tolerant

Demanding vertical & peripheral operations requiring high temperatures (up to 550°F) and/or high pressures. Typically manually fed.

Thermosil®

Heat Tolerant & Quick Recovery

Semi-automatic and fully automated sealing applications requiring very stable high temperatures (up to 550°F) and rapid heat recovery.

FDA-3A

Food & Medical Applications

3A Sanitary – Class 1 Test Specifications. Ideal for food and medical applications.

Additional Benefits

Superior Repeatability	Precision sheet grinding capability allows us to prepare sheets with +/-.010” as a standard. Tighter tolerances also available. Provides a blemish-free surface finish and ensures that performance is optimized and highly repeatable.
Superior Bonding	Proprietary process chemically bonds silicone to the steel or aluminum backing providing superior silicone-to-metal bonds. We eliminate de-lamination worries along with the hassle of messy adhesives.
Expert Performance Optimization	Market-leading insight how to optimize performance for a large number of applications. For example, we can provide guidance on how to avoid air pockets in thicker sheets.
Flexible Mounting	The range of aluminum thickness we provide for backings provides users a wider range of mounting options.
Faster Turn Around & Lower Minimums	New partnership with ISM (Industrial Specialties Manufacturing). Allows us to provide our precision silicone sheets with faster turn around and lower minimum orders.
