Product Detail
Silicone CG Blue - 60A
These commercial grade blue silicone sheets are unique among their peers due to the fact that they come in a blue color. With a durometer rating of 60 Shore A, this commercial silicone material offers a good degree of resistance against physical indentation, although it has more limited flexibility when compared to the 50 or 40 shore A silicone. People prize silicone for being a temperature resistant rubber, and these silicone sheets are no different. You can use this sheet rubber as seals and gaskets for commercial grade applications that involve extremely hot or cold temperature conditions.
60A Silicone Shore Hardness: Thanks to a 60A durometer rating, this commercial silicone is durable enough to be used in applications that may involve physical abrasions. A rating of 60A gives the material a better ability to resist physical indentation on its body. This helps to ensure that the blue silicone sheets last for longer periods of time. This material is meant to favor physical durability over flexibility, so use it in application that require some more rigidity from your rubber parts.
Temperature Resistant Rubber: In most cases, extreme temperature conditions can damage a rubber. That is not the case with silicone rubber. This high quality commercial silicone rubber can operate in temperatures that range from -103 F to 450 F. Silicone is regularly used in a wide variety of applications that involve either very cold or very hot temperatures. These blue silicone sheets will help you identify parts based on their chemical compound. Since most other rubbr sheets (e.g. neoprene, epdm) are not blue, your staff can easily pick out material based on color.
Custom Fabrication: This commercial grade sheet rubber comes in a standard roll size of 36Ó wide by 50ft long. It is stocked in gauges that are commonly requested by customers: 1/32", 1/16", 1/8", and 1/4". However, if you require a shorter length, we can provide you with a roll that is 36" wide by any length of up to 50 continuous feet. If you require custom parts made out of the silicone sheets, then fabrication options are available in the form of hand, die, laser, and water-jet cutting. Be sure to ask a representative for more information about custom fabrication options.
More Benefits:
