Solid silicone sheeting is a synthetic rubber commonly used in critical applications due to its exceptional heat resistance. It is also more versatile than other polymers because it retains pliability when exposed to ultraviolet radiation or extreme temperatures. Further, it is resistant to weathering and ozone, making it appropriate for various industrial purposes.
Solid Silicone Sheeting Characteristics
The following are the characteristics of solid silicone sheeting
- Offers high resistance to UV radiation
- Possesses superior temperature resistance compared to synthetic and natural rubber
- Reacts to very few chemical or biological agents
- Maintains flexibility and elasticity regardless of weather conditions
- Made from high-grade compound materials
- Has tensile strength up to 1650 psi
- Insulates electricity well and is easily modifiable based on particular requirements
- Exhibits exceptional metal adherence, especially during molding and extrusion processes
- FDA-approved, making it safe for food and medical uses
