Sheets and Rubber Coverings
Silicone rubber is a highly pliable material that can be shaped into many different shapes. It has the ability to withstand high and low temperatures, as well as ozone and UV. This makes it ideal for use as seals and gaskets in environments that will be exposed to these elements.
Manufacturer of standard and custom silicone in sheet and tube forms. Products are available as general purpose, low temperature, vibration dampening and glow-in-the-dark versions. They also include impregnated, conductive and biomedical grade silicones. Capabilities include molding, casting and cutting. Products serve automotive, aviation, construction, food and pharmaceutical industries.
When you are working with silicone rubber sheets, you can easily shape them into a variety of shapes by applying heat. To do this, start by creating a rough sketch of the desired shape. Then, apply a heat gun or flame to the area that needs to be curved. The heat will cause the sheet to soften and bend, which can then be pressed into place with your hands.
Manufactures open and closed cell silicone extrusion products in the form of tubing, profiles, sleeves, hoses, cords and Silicone supplies wholesale sponges. Features include high/low temperature tolerances, metal detectable and oil, steam, ozone and UV resistance. Capabilities include slitting, cutting and rapid prototyping. Private labeling and converting services offered. Serves the automotive, aerospace, medical, chemical, shipping, energy and transportation industries.
Extrusion Products
Products include silicone extrusions and molded rubber parts. Manufacturers also offer custom solutions, value added services and JIT delivery. Extruded silicone can be fabricated into angles, bags, channels, connectors, flanges, faces plates, gaskets, hinges and seals. Coextruded materials are available as well as frosted, flame retardant, dual durometer, high temperature and flexible options. Manufacturer offers cold, impact, ram, reverse and tri extrusions with varying tolerances of OD and ID.
The process of extrusion starts with a softened elastomeric compound that is forced through a hard tool known as a die to form a long, narrow tube with the same cross-section throughout its length. Downstream auxiliary equipment shapes, cools, measures, cuts and collects the finished extruded product so it can be prepped for shipping. Extrusion machines vary in size, power and construction based on the type of product and production run required.
Custom manufacturer of silicone extruded into a variety of profiles and shapes (bags, angles, solid and sponge bars, hoses, tubing, tubes and T-bars) with PSA tape or bonding. Products are manufactured to military, industrial and commercial specifications using ethylene propylene diene monomer, natural or synthetic non-latex or silicone compounds with varying densities, hardness, colors, grades and permeability. Heat and cold resistance, medical & aerospace grade options, and UL rated and NSF approved materials are available. Steam autoclave, salt bath, hot air vulcanization and pole curing processes used. Secondary fabrication capabilities include printing, marking, punching and post extrusion molding.
Adhesives
Manufacturer of silicone based adhesives and sealants. Products include industrial silicones, RTV silicon & urethane caulks & sealers; anaerobic threadlockers & threadsealers; cleaning solvents; fast cure potting and encapsulating compounds; silicone rubber potting compound; silicone foams and closed and open cell silicoanate and polyether styrene foams in varying densities; splicing tapes & transfer tapes; silicone electrically conductive materials; high temperature silicone lubricants; fluorosilicone adhesives; and other silicone adhesives & sealants.
Silica is the main ingredient in all silicones, and it is the fourth most abundant mineral on Earth. It can be found in a variety of mineral formations including quartz, sand and clay. Silica is a very durable material that is resistant to extreme temperatures, vibrations and humidity. It is used to glue and seal all types of materials ranging from wood and plastics to glass and metals. Adhesives and sealants made from silicone are often used in automotive applications like sealing car parts and hoses. They are also popular in hobby and craft applications such as gluing plastic models and aquariums.
Pressure sensitive silicone adhesives (PSA) are made of synthetic elastomers that adhere to surfaces by creating a bond when pressure is applied. These adhesives are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and Silicone supplies wholesale colors to fit all applications. Some have a peel-off backing for easy application while others require heat to activate their curing mechanism. Some are designed to withstand harsh environments, while others are suitable for medical applications.
Flexible Gasket Materials
The type of gasket material that is best for an application depends on the environment and pressure range it will be exposed to. The material’s ability to resist degradation from sunlight exposure must also be considered. In addition, many applications require a soft material to assist in conforming to irregular surfaces and in absorbing shock and vibration.
Silicone foams, solids and sponges are popular gasket materials for their wide variety of uses and resistance to varying temperatures and pressures. For example, the RS-700 Industrial Silicone Sponge series is made of closed-cell material that can stretch up to 175% without failure. It is resistant to UV and ozone damage, has good tear strength and meets high FST thresholds. This material can be paired with silicone tape for added stability.
Other gasket materials include fluorosilicone and traditional rubbers like Neoprene or Buna-N. The ElastaPro solid fluorosilicone sheet products are similar to silicone but offer the additional benefit of chemical resistance. These materials can withstand non-polar fluids, dilute acids, diester and hydrocarbon fuels.
The Medical Grade Solid Silicone Sheet product line is ideal for use in medical devices, such as catheters and stents. These materials are free of organic plasticizers, odors, phthalates and peroxide, and meet FDA regulations for rubber implements used with food and pharmaceuticals. They are also a great choice for life sciences, as they are biocompatible, nontoxic and low volatile.
