Reinforced Silicone Sheet
Reinforced silicone sheet is a high-performance material made from silicone rubber combined with a strengthening layer, such as fiberglass mesh or polyester fabric. This reinforcement enhances the sheet’s mechanical strength, tear resistance, and dimensional stability, while maintaining silicone’s key properties—flexibility, heat resistance, and chemical inertness.
Uses of Reinforced Silicone Sheets:
-
Gasketing and sealing in high-temperature environments (e.g., ovens, engines, HVAC systems)
-
Insulation for electrical components due to excellent dielectric properties
-
Vacuum bagging in composite manufacturing and aerospace applications
-
Protective padding and thermal barriers in industrial settings
-
Food-grade processing where hygiene, durability, and heat resistance are essential
Their versatility makes reinforced silicone sheets ideal for both industrial and commercial applications requiring durability under extreme conditions.
Supplied in 1m wide sheets, this 1 ply glass reinforced sheeting features impressive tear resistance and non-creep characteristics, and is favoured by designers and engineers for diaphragms and non-stretch gaskets and seals.
The silicone has the same chemical resistance as standard silicone sheeting and the silicone used is fully compliant to FDA standard 177.2600 and EC 1935/2004, making it suitable for applications requiring direct food contact. However, it should be noted that the fabric within the silicone is not available in FDA.
