Polymax offers an extensive selection of silicone sheets, including both solid and silicone sponge sheets, designed for a variety of industrial and commercial applications. Known for their versatility, durability, and resistance to extreme conditions, our silicone sheets are ideal for industries ranging from food production and pharmaceuticals to electronics and manufacturing. Whether you need high-performance silicone sponge sheet for cushioning and sealing or solid silicone sheets for high-temperature resistance, we have the solution you need.
The Advantages of Silicone Over Other Elastomers
Silicone stands out from other elastomers due to its exceptional properties. It is highly resistant to a wide range of temperatures, with some grades able to remain flexible and maintain low compression at temperatures as low as -100°C and as high as 315°C. This makes silicone an excellent material for applications where temperature stability is essential.
In addition to its thermal resistance, silicone is also electrically insulating, offering excellent protection against electrical currents. For specific needs, we also offer electrically conductive silicone sheets, filled with carbon black to safely manage low electrical amperages. This makes silicone an ideal choice for sensitive electronics or environments where static discharge may pose a risk.
Other notable characteristics of silicone include its high tear resistance, good elongation at break, and high tensile strength. These attributes ensure that silicone maintains its integrity even under stress or in challenging working conditions.
Please note that while silicone excels in many applications, it is not recommended for use with high-pressure steam.
Versatile Silicone Sheets for Every Application
At Polymax, we offer a wide range of silicone sheets, available in various thicknesses ranging from 0.3mm to 12mm. Our solid silicone sheets are 1.2 meters wide and sold by the meter length, and the sheets come in 5-meter or 10-meter rolls depending on the thickness. Whether you need a sheet for sealing, insulation, or gasket fabrication, Polymax can supply the right silicone material for your specific requirements.
We also provide specialty materials such as metal detectable silicone sheets for use in food production environments, where metal contamination needs to be detected and removed safely. In addition, our flame-resistant silicone sheets comply with stringent regulations such as EN-45545 or MF775, making them ideal for use in railway applications or other high-risk areas.
Silicone Sheets with Adhesive Backing
For added convenience, the majority of our silicone sheeting is available with a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing, making it easy to apply without additional bonding agents. This feature is particularly useful for sealing, insulating, or cushioning applications where easy installation is a priority.
Custom Gasket Fabrication Services
If you require custom gaskets, strips, or other components, Polymax offers a fabrication service using advanced cutting technology. With a wide range of presses, CNC machines, and oscillating knife cutters, we can produce both large and small silicone components tailored to your specifications. Contact our team for more information on custom fabrication and how we can help meet your exact requirements.
