Reinforced Silicone Rubber Sheets
Sheets of material are available from Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd offered in a choice of high quality silicone rubber materials in a variety of grades, one of which is our Reinforced Silicone Rubber Sheets.
Reinforced Silicone Rubber raw materials are manufactured as continuous rolls, but as we are able to cut these down into sheets, smaller amounts of material are also offered to customers.
Sheets of reinforced silicone rubber are available in thicknesses from 1mm through to 6mm, and in a choice of 1m x 1m or 2m x 1m sheets all of which are held in stock ready for despatch in full or further conversion within our state of the art conversion facilities where using one of many slitters, presses, bandsaws or the oscillating knife, we can also convert this raw material into a number of products including sheets or finished products such as washers, pads, strips or gaskets.

What are Reinforced Silicone Rubber Sheets?
Reinforced Silicone Rubber Sheets are usually cut down to 1 meter or 2 meter lengths from rolls of material, in thicknesses from between 1mm and 6mm.
Standard Silicone (SI) rubber is an excellent material choice for converting into high performance mechanical seals and gaskets which can operate at high and low temperatures. Silicone rubber even performs well when used outdoors and exposed to UV, weathering, ozone and moisture.
Reinforced Silicone Rubber Sheets are formulated using the same compound as standard silicone therefore offers all the same excellent properties and features, but with the addition of a glass fabric running through the center which acts as reinforcement to produce a more superior and durable, tear resistant material.
Why use Reinforced Silicone Rubber Sheets?
Reinforced Silicone Rubber Sheets are preferred when customers only want a small piece of material or a low volume of cut parts, which saves on cost and waste. Sheets of Reinforced Silicone Rubber are recognisable by its red colouration, however black and grey variants can also be manufactured in different grades in a choice of thicknesses from 1mm through to 6mm.
The material offers a broad working temperature range of around -62ºC - 260ºC, the same chemical resistance to standard silicone rubber, is odourless, tasteless and non-toxic, whilst offering far more superior durability and tear resistance compared to standard silicone, this is thanks for the glass fabric reinforcing layer which creates excellent tear resistance and non-creep characteristics, making the material suitable for use in applications that require non-stretch seals and gaskets.

Advantages of Using Reinforced Silicone Rubber Sheets
There are a number of advantages to using Reinforced Silicone Rubber Sheets and parts cut from them, they are especially popular within the food, beverage and medical industries due it being non-toxic. Sheets of Reinforced Silicone Rubber have a number of other excellent properties including higher levels of tensile strength, elongation, and a superior tear strength in comparison to other materials.
The material has an operating temperature range of -62°C to +260°C, and can be used in some of the more demanding applications where superior and improved tensile and tear strength are required such as aerospace, automotive, and general engineering or industrial seals and gaskets.
Reinforced Silicone Rubber sheets offer excellent weather ability, resists well when exposed to various lubricating oils, and will maintain its physical properties over a wide temperature range. Reinforced Silicone sheets can be taken in full or alternatively cut into a range of products including washers, gaskets, strip pads and other seals.
