Silicone rubber

Rubber for sealing and flexible parts

For a rubber part, hardness and required compression matter alongside dimensions. Silicone rubber is listed separately from coated fabrics. If replacing a seal, specify the original part thickness, shape, contacting medium and operating temperature. The silicone designation alone does not confirm compatibility with every environment.

Specific product 318: white 3 mm rubber

The product table specifies a 1 200 × 1 000 mm format, 3 mm thickness, white colour, hardness of 60 ShA and temperature resistance up to +230 °C. These values belong to this product. The range also includes other thicknesses; check their own specification tables and available formats. The +230 °C figure is not a shared limit for all silicone products.

What to confirm for the finished part

Send a drawing with holes and tolerances, quantity and required hardness. For food contact, request a declaration for the specific supplied material. For chemical exposure, specify the medium and concentration. Cutting or shaped part production must be agreed; merely selecting a sheet size does not confirm delivery of a finished seal.

Benefits and selection

• Flexibility under compression and bending
• Thickness selection according to part function
• Enquiries for cut pieces or shaped parts

Technical specifications to check

Specific values vary by product and variant. When choosing, compare:

• thickness and hardness
• colour and material version
• medium contact and working temperature
• required dimensions and tolerances

Applications

Rubber is used to make sealing, protective and separating elements. Suitability of a specific type must be checked against the environment.

Dimensions and delivery

When choosing, specify thickness, length, width and any required shape. Available format size may vary by product.
