Silicone Rubber
Silicone Rubber Rolls
Here at Advanced Seals & Gaskets, we offer high-quality silicone rolls in both sponge and rubber forms. Our silicone rubber is manufactured in continuous rolls, in a range of standard thicknesses, which we hold in stock ready to be cut down into a number of products including sheets, strips and gaskets. Our onsite laminating service allows us to laminate silicone rubber with a choice of foils and self -adhesive tapes, as well as with layers of other materials.
What is a Silicone Rubber Roll?
Silicone (SI) rubber is an excellent material for cutting and converting into high-performance mechanical seals and gaskets which can operate at high and low temperatures. Silicone rubber performs well when exposed to UV, weathering, ozone and moisture, and is available in range grades, hardnesses and colours. Silicone rubber is often taken in roll form giving customers the flexibility to convert them into a range of usable products as required such as washers, pads, strips, etc. Silicone rubber rolls are available in a range of types each with its own set of characteristics, properties and resistances to suit different exposures and environments.
Why use Silicone Rubber Rolls?
Customers often choose silicone rubber as it has a number of excellent characteristics and features. Silicone rubber has a broad working temperature range for use in hot and cold environments, with high-temperature versions also available for extreme heat. Silicone rubber rolls are resistant to ozone, many chemicals and fungal growth, they also offer excellent tensile strength, tear resistance, electrical insulating properties and are available in food safe and flame retardant grades too.
