As the silicone market for solid sheeting gets tighter, it’s time to tighten your supply chain, too. Otherwise, loose links won’t provide the strength you need – especially from suppliers with long lead times, high MOQs, and a narrow selection of products.

ElastaPro has the solid silicone sheeting and uncured silicone compounds that you need, when you need them, and in both standard products and custom compounds.

Silicone Prices

Concerned about silicone prices? Back in 2018, silicone prices had risen by as much as 25%. Today, demand is high, supply is tight, and everyone is worried about pricing and availability.

But what about value? The cheapest materials aren’t the best and you can’t settle for cut-rate compounds that won’t meet tough specifications and application requirements. In other words, don’t just focus on silicone prices.

If you’re looking for solid silicone sheet you can count on, ElastaPro is the name to know. Our team of silicone industry veterans is creating value with service, quality, and technology – and through long-term partnerships with companies like yours. Plus, our silicone sheeting is proudly Made in the USA.

Silicone Reshoring

Silicone reshoring is popular in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic as more manufacturers want to reshore their supply chains. According to the latest Thomas Industry Survey, 69% of companies are looking at bringing production back to North America. That’s up from 54% in February.

Made in USA and Made in Canada are powerful slogans, but will silicone reshoring really reduce your costs and your risks? If you’re skeptical, the Total Cost of Ownership Calculator from the Reshoring Initiative is a tool that’s worth trying.

When it comes to silicones, ElastaPro is the name you can trust. Our silicones are Made in America with speed, quality, flexibility and economics in mind. For solid silicone sheets and uncured silicone compounds, ask our industry veterans about silicone reshoring.
