Silicone Rubber Sheets

Silicone rubber sheet are made of silicone which is an elastomer containing silicone along with minor components of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Silicone rubber sheet is one of the most widely used compounds in the industries due to its properties and low cost.
PROPERTIES
Some of the major properties of silicone which enables its wide usage are:
Non-reactivity, stability and resistance towards environment and wide temperature range.
Easy to manufacture and shape for variety of purposes. High elongation, creep, cyclic flexing, tear strength, compression strength, dielectric strength, thermal
conductivity and free resistance at extreme temperature range.
It is resistant and does not react to most of the chemicals.
High inertness enabling its use in medical equipments.
