Each roll measures 1.20 meters wide and 10 meters long. We stock these sheets in both Cape Town and Johannesburg, ensuring fast and reliable delivery across South Africa.

Where to Use High-Temperature Silicone Sheets

Silicone polymers that are not FDA-approved find use in various industrial and commercial applications. These include a wide range of sectors where the material’s properties make it an excellent choice.

Automotive and Vehicle Parts
Silicone is commonly used to produce seals, gaskets, and hoses in vehicles. Its ability to resist high temperatures and chemicals makes it essential for components exposed to extreme conditions.

Construction Industry
In construction, silicone is applied as a sealant for windows, doors, joints, and other structural elements. This material offers outstanding resistance to both water and temperature fluctuations, which makes it a go-to solution for construction projects.

Electronics and Electrical Applications
Silicone is also widely used as an insulator in electrical equipment, cables, and components. The material’s thermal stability and insulating properties ensure the safe operation of sensitive electronics, even in harsh environments.

Independent Industrial Applications
Silicone plays an important role in various products such as lubricants, sealants, and molding materials. It is especially beneficial in cases where the material does not come into direct contact with food or skin.

Therefore, silicone polymers without FDA approval are typically used in industrial and technical sectors where food safety or health regulations are less stringent.

Key Features of Red Silicone Rubber Sheets

• Excellent resistance to both high and low temperatures (-60°C to +220°C)

• Strong resistance to sunlight, ozone, oxygen, and gases

• Water-repellent and non-stick surface

• Electrical insulation for sensitive electronics

• Excellent insulation and flame retardant properties

• Long service life in demanding environments

Main Characteristics of Silicone Sheets

• Temperature Resistance
  Silicone sheets are designed to withstand a broad temperature range, from -60°C to +220°C. This makes them suitable for both high- and low-temperature applications.
• Chemical Resistance
  The material resists many chemicals, oils and solvents. It provides moderate resistance to a
  wide range of chemicals, but acids, alkalis, esters and kerosene should be avoided. This quality makes silicone sheets ideal for industrial applications where exposure to chemicals is common.
• High Flexibility
  Silicone remains flexible and elastic even at low temperatures. As a result, silicone sheets are perfect for seals, gaskets, and applications that require a high degree of flexibility. It can be cut in gaskets, strips and
  O-rings, and as such used in many applications. I
• Water and Air Resistance
  Silicone is resistant to water and can effectively act as a barrier against moisture and air infiltration. This makes it an excellent material for a wide variety of applications.
• UV and Ozone Resistance
  Thanks to its resistance to UV rays and ozone, silicone is a great material for outdoor use and for environments exposed to the elements.
• Durability
  Silicone is durable and retains its properties even after prolonged exposure to extreme conditions. It can withstand tough environments, ensuring a long service life.
• Electrical Insulation
  Silicone provides outstanding electrical insulation, making it the preferred material for electrical and electronic applications that require reliable protection.
• Non-toxic for Industrial Use
  Although silicone is not FDA-approved for direct contact with food or skin, it remains safe for use in industrial applications where no contact with food or body parts is involved.
• Formability
  Silicone sheets are easy to cut, bend, and shape to meet various industrial requirements. This versatility makes it a flexible option for many applications.
• Relatively Low Mechanical Properties
  While silicone is elastic and flexible, it generally has lower mechanical strength and wear resistance compared to other materials. Therefore, it is best suited for light to moderate load applications.

These characteristics make silicone polymer sheets highly beneficial for industries such as construction, automotive, electronics, and more.
