At our Made in USA manufacturing facility, we produce solid silicone sheet in durometers from 30 to 80 Shore A, thicknesses from 0.007″ to 0.500″, and widths up to 6s”. ElastaPro also makes sponge silicone sheet and foam silicone sheet for various silicone products. Contact us to request a quote or for more information.
Solid Silicone Mats
Solid silicone sheet is the most common starting point for silicone matting used in industrial, medical, and high‑temperature environments. ElastaPro’s solid silicone sheets are manufactured using high‑quality silicone elastomers and are supplied ready for fabrication processes such as die‑cutting, slitting, laminating, or surface texturing. Engineers often select solid silicone sheet for matting applications because they provide the following advantages:
- Broad Temperature Stability: Solid silicone maintains mechanical integrity from approximately –60°C to +230°C, making it ideal for hot‑surface protection, autoclave environments, and thermal shielding mats.
- Mechanical Strength and Tear Resistance: With durometers up to 80 Shore A and tensile strengths typical of high‑performance silicone elastomers, solid silicone mats resist deformation, tearing, and compression set even under repeated mechanical load.
- Chemical and Environmental Resistance: Silicone is inherently resistant to oils, ozone, UV, and many chemicals, enabling matting to perform in outdoor, industrial, or cleanroom environments without degradation.
- Electrical Insulation: For electronics assembly, ESD‑sensitive environments, or high‑voltage workstations, silicone matting provides stable dielectric properties.
- Customizable Surface Characteristics: Solid silicone sheet can be textured, embossed, or laminated with pressure‑sensitive adhesives (PSA) to create anti‑slip surfaces, workstation mats, or protective liners.
- Regulatory and Specialty Grades: ElastaPro manufactures solid silicone sheets in general‑purpose, premium, and specialized grades including FDA‑compliant, medical‑grade, flame‑retardant, conductive, and metal‑detectable formulations. These specialty materials allow engineers to design matting that meets stringent industry requirements.
Cellular Silicone Mats
Cellular silicone sheet—available as silicone foam or silicone sponge—provides a different performance profile ideal for cushioning, vibration isolation, and lightweight matting applications. Cellular materials incorporate controlled air pockets, reducing density while improving compressibility and energy absorption. ElastaPro’s cellular silicone sheets include medium‑density silicone foam and silicone sponge materials. Advantages include:
- Compressibility and Energy Absorption: Cellular silicone mats provide ergonomic benefits for standing workstations, assembly lines, and vibration‑prone environments.
- Lightweight Construction: Foam and sponge mats reduce overall system weight—important in aerospace, mobility platforms, and portable equipment.
- Thermal and Acoustic Insulation: Cellular silicone reduces heat transfer and dampens noise, making it suitable for engine compartments, HVAC systems, and equipment enclosures.
- Conformability: The material conforms to uneven surfaces, making it ideal for protective lining, anti‑slip pads, and cushioning mats.
- High‑Temperature Performance: Like solid silicone, cellular silicone maintains stability across extreme temperatures, making it suitable for thermal shielding mats or high‑heat industrial environments.
Engineering Applications for Silicone Matting
Silicone matting manufactured from ElastaPro’s solid or cellular sheets is used across a wide range of industries.
- Industrial Workstation Mats: High‑temperature, chemical‑resistant mats for manufacturing environments.
- Electronics Assembly Mats: Dielectric or conductive silicone mats for ESD‑sensitive work.
- Food‑Processing Mats: FDA‑compliant silicone mats for conveyor systems, prep surfaces, and thermal insulation.
- Aerospace and Defense: Lightweight cellular silicone mats for vibration damping, thermal shielding, and equipment protection.
- Medical and Laboratory Mats: Autoclavable, chemically inert mats for sterile environments.
- Automotive and Mobility Platforms: Heat‑resistant mats for engine compartments, battery systems, and vibration isolation.
- Protective Surface Liners: Silicone mats used to protect tools, equipment, and sensitive components.
