Translucent Silicone

ElastaPro makes translucent silicone sheet materials and uncured silicone compounds that meet the highest standards of performance and compliance. These materials are engineered for demanding applications across food processing, healthcare, aerospace, automotive, and industrial sectors.

How ElastaPro Makes Translucent Silicone

ElastaPro manufactures translucent silicone in two primary forms:

Sheet Materials – Ready-to-use solid silicone sheets available in durometers ranging from 20 to 90 Shore A. These sheets are ideal for gaskets, seals, and die-cut components, offering durability, flexibility, and resistance to extreme temperatures and chemicals.
Uncured Silicone Compounds – Raw silicone formulations designed for molding, extrusion, or calendaring. These uncured silicone compounds are available in VMQ, FVMQ, and PVMQ grades, with peroxide or platinum cure systems to suit specific processing requirements.

By combining advanced compounding techniques with strict quality control, ElastaPro ensures that its translucent silicone products deliver consistent performance across diverse applications.
