Platinum Cured Silicone Rubber Rolls
Here at Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd stock an extensive range of high quality solid silicone rubber rolls of materials in a choice of grades, one of which is our Platinum Cured Silicone Rubber Rolls.
Platinum Cured Silicone Rubber is manufactured as continuous rolls of material usually in widths of 1.2 or 1.4meters and roll lengths of 5meters or 10meters depending on the material thickness which range from 0.5mm to 2mm, but as this solid rubber can be extruded, bespoke thicknesses to order.
Our site consists of state of the conversion machinery and a highly skilled workforce which allows us to not only supply bespoke rolls sizes, but using one of many slitters, log cutters, 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 Platinum Cured Silicone Rubber Rolls?
Platinum Cured Silicone Rubber Rolls are continuous lengths of material ranging from 5 meters to 10 meters long. Unlike many traditional Peroxide cured materials and rubber products, during the formulation of Platinum Cured Silicone, peroxides aren't used as part of the catalysing process.
When using peroxides, traces can often remain in the raw material causing contamination and so silicone manufactured using Platinum Curing and the components cut from them are a more popular choice in industries including medical, food, drink or dairy applications as it is considered a cleaner/purer product.
Platinum cured silicone rubber rolls are also translucent in colour and appearance - again perfect for the food and drink industries where visibility is crucial, it is also non-toxic and non yellowing.
Why use Platinum Cured Silicone Rubber Rolls?
Platinum Cured Silicone Rubber rolls of material and the components cut from them are a safe and versatile material popular for use in the food, drinks and pharmaceutical industries. The rolls of material itself are easy to convert into a range of products for use in various applications from chutes and sleeves to washers, seals, gaskets or alternatively the material can be extruded pipes or tubes.
Platinum Cured Silicone Rubber rolls can be used with applications where there is exposure to extreme temperatures offering an operating temperature range of -40°C to +200°C, radiation, corona, moisture and steam. Platinum Cured Silicone Rubber is peroxide free, non toxic and non yellowing.
It’s an extremely flexible and durable material offering good weathering, UV and Ozone resistance. Platinum Cured Silicone Rubber rolls are used where larger surfaces are to be covered, when long strips or coils needs to be cut on our slitting machines and for pressing high volume parts such as gaskets, pads or washers as a better yield is obtained as opposed to using smaller sheets.
Different Grades
Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd have a network of material manufacturers and suppliers, giving our customers more choice, our most popular grades of silicone rubber include:
- High Temperature Silicone - FDA approved and suitable for working conditions up to 300°C
- FDA Approved Silicone - all general purpose silicone are certified for use within food, drink & pharmaceutical applications
- Metal Detectable Silicone - used to detect metal fragments
- Fluorosilicone - this material offers the same mechanical properties as standard silicone, but with an improved fuel and mineral oil resistance.
- Conductive Silicone is a carbon filled silicone which conducts a low electrical amperage
Flame retardant offers a more superior flame retardance, meeting the following standard for railways BS6853 Cat1A and French Norm NFF 16-101 (now superseded by TS EN 45545-2)
Benefits of Platinum Cured Silicone Rubber
- Peroxide Free
- Non-Toxic
- Non-Yellowing & excellent translucency so more visibility
- Durability with a high tear strength
- Lightweight
- Easy to cut
- Highly hydrophobic
Advantages of Using Platinum Cured Silicone Rubber Rolls
Rolls of Platinum cured silicone are used for a number of reasons and are especially popular within the food, beverage and medical industries due it being peroxide free, non-toxic and offering excellent purity. Platinum cured silicone rolls are translucent in colour and non-yellowing which makes it perfect for use in sensitive environments as it will not contaminate any food, medicines or liquid it comes into contact with.
Platinum-cured silicone's other properties include chemical inertness, higher levels of tensile strength, elongation, and tear strength. These rolls of material have an operating temperature range of -40°C to +200°C, and can be used in applications where a resistance to radiation, corona, ozone exposure, moisture, and/or steam is desired.
The curing process for producing Platinum Cured Silicone rolls is not only peroxide free, but also emits the use of talc - a mineral which has been known to cause health issues. Platinum Cured Silicone can be taken in full rolls of material or alternatively converted here at ASG into a range of products including sheets, washers, gaskets, strips pads and other seals.
