Core Engineering Performance Properties

Industrial automation equipment requires elastomeric seals and pads that retain structural integrity under continuous operation. ElastaPro formulates specification-grade and high-strength silicone sheeting to withstand severe mechanical and chemical stress:

  • Exceptional Compression Set Resistance: Maintains sealing force and elastic recovery under persistent clamping pressure and dynamic mechanical loads, preventing seal degradation over millions of cycles.

  • High Tear & Tensile Strength: Specialized high-strength formulations resist tearing, abrasion, and puncturing from moving mechanical parts, robotic grippers, and conveyor components.

  • Broad Thermal Endurance: Operates continuously from -103°F to 450°F (-75°C to 232°C), with high-temperature grades reaching up to 500°F (260°C) to endure localized heat from drive systems and heating elements.

  • Chemical & Lubricant Resistance: Resists industrial oils, hydraulic fluids, mild acids, solvents, and harsh washdown chemicals.

  • Vibration Damping & Noise Reduction: Absorbs high-frequency mechanical vibrations, protecting sensitive automated sensors and reducing equipment wear.

Key Industrial & Automation Applications

ElastaPro solid silicone sheeting is converted by die-cutters and gasket fabricators into high-performance components for automated manufacturing facilities.

Robotic Grippers & Handling Systems

Automated pick-and-place robotics rely on silicone pads for secure component handling. ElastaPro high-strength silicone sheeting provides optimal surface friction, mechanical toughness, and non-marring characteristics to manipulate delicate parts without surface contamination.

Heat Sealing & Conveyor Processing

Packaging machinery and automated heat-sealing equipment utilize silicone sheeting as pressing pads and high-temperature release barriers. Its non-stick properties prevent adhesive buildup while ensuring uniform thermal transfer across sealing jaws.

Heavy Industrial Machinery & Fluid Systems

From hydraulic power units to industrial pumps, ElastaPro specification-grade silicone and fluorosilicone (FVMQ) materials deliver durable gasketing that resists hydraulic fluids, high pressures, and thermal expansion.

Technical Capabilities & Converting Options

ElastaPro supports original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and gasket fabricators with versatile manufacturing capabilities:

  • Durometer Range: 30 to 80 Shore A hardness.

  • Thickness Capabilities: Continuous rolls from 0.005” to 0.675” (0.13 mm to 17.15 mm).

  • Roll Widths: Standard 36” and 48” widths, with custom calendering capabilities up to 67” wide.

  • Fabric Reinforcements: Available with fiberglass, nylon, or Nomex insertion for applications requiring elevated dimensional stability and burst strength.
