Silicone Rubber Pre-Cut Mat (Black, FDA) 1mm x 300mm x 1200mm (60 Duro)

• Premium Quality Silicone Rubber Sheet in Economical Pre-Cut Mats.
• Reduce wastage by buying just the amount you need.
• All cut from our high-quality black, silicone rubber. Custom sizes also available.
• Approved for food and drinking water sealing with excellent temperature resistance and flexibility.

All our Silicone Rubber Mats are cut in our Australian facilities and share the same properties and benefits as the per metre variation. Just some of these include:

Excellent Heat and Temperature Resistance.

Silicone Rubber has one of the largest ranges of temperature resistance of any rubber material. This high-quality grade is no exception. Our Black Silicone Rubber Mats will withstand continuous exposure to temperatures between -60°C and +230°C.

They will also handle short-term spikes up to +250°C. For low temperature sealing environments, they are ideal as they have a very low brittle point of -80°C.

Safe for use in Food Grade and Potable Water Applications.

Our Black Silicone Rubber Sheet and Mats are food grade sealing materials that have been tested and approved for use in sealing food and/or drinking water applications. This rubber has been extensively tested for these applications and certified for:

• Potable Water Sealing at Temperatures up to 85°C as per WRAS.
• Direct Food Contact in accordance with European Food Contact Legislation.
• Direct Food Contact in accordance with FDA Standard 21, CFR 177.2600.

This quality rubber has also been tested and certified to numerous other standards including RoHS. More information on these can be found on our Black Silicone Rubber Technical Data Sheet linked from the media tab of this page.

Good Sealing Performance.

One of the most common uses for all of our silicone rubber sheets is making gaskets and seals. In these applications silicone rubber offers a excellent combination of sealing performance, temperature resistance and chemical resistance.

Mechanically, our Black Silicone Rubber is excellent for making washers, gaskets and seals. It has excellent flexibility and an elongation at break rating of 340%. It couples this with good inherent strength as evidenced by its tear strength of 14.2 N/mm.

This grade of silicone rubber has a shore hardness of 60 Duro.

Very Good Thermal and Electrical Insulation Characteristics.

Silicone Rubber has very good thermal and electrical insulation properties. As a heat insulation material, it has a very low thermal conductivity rating of 0.24 W.m^-1.K^-1 and permits low amounts of heat transfer.

For electrical insulation jobs, this rubber has a dielectric strength of 23kV/mm and a volume resistivity of 3x10¹⁵?.cm.

Popular Applications for Black Silicone Rubber.

Pre-Cut Mats of our Black Silicone Sheet are usually used for much the same as the per lineal metre variation of the same rubber, just on a smaller scale. Some of the more popular uses we see include:

• High temperature gaskets and seals for heating equipment.
• For making seals for electrical applications that require good sealing characteristics and high dielectric strength.
• Automotive gaskets and sealing strips.
• For making insulating (thermal and electric) gaskets and seals for lighting fixtures.
• Sealing strips used in construction.
• Sealing air conditioning units and compressors.
• Making seals for catering equipment.
• Sealing water tanks, piping and beverage distribution equipment.
• For making sealing strips and wear protection strips for use in catering and food preparation areas.
• For making all kinds of gaskets, sealing strips, wear pads, insulation pads and components for the food and beverage, marine, automotive, air conditioning, construction, agricultural, rail, pharmaceutical, electrical, lighting, power generation and aerospace sectors.
