Silicone Rubber Sheet is an extremely versatile type of rubber that is widely used for sealing and insulation work. Second only to our Red Silicone Rubber in terms of popularity, our Black Silicone Rubber Sheet offers the same all-round performance characteristics and quality.
Like our red and white silicones, this black grade is a premium quality elastomer that combines outstanding chemical resistance with excellent electrical insulation properties and sealing performance. It can be used in areas where it will have direct contact with food (as per FDA and EU standards) and for sealing potable (drinking) water (as per WRAS).
It also carries certifications for several other applications which are detailed more on the attached technical data and over on the specifications tab.
Black Silicone Rubber has very good temperature resistance and is used for sealing in both low and high temperature applications. On the low end, it can withstand temperatures down to -60°C. At the other end of the spectrum, white silicone can handle continuous exposure to up to +230°C as well as short-term spikes to +250°C.
When exposed to these temperatures, our white silicone rubber does not become brittle or crack. It can therefore maintain its sealing performance across a long service life.
Silicone Rubber Sheet has very low thermal conductivity and makes a good thermal insulation barrier. It will also seal with small amounts of compression and maintain this seal for an extended period. It has excellent UV, ozone and weathering resistance in addition to the aforementioned ability to resist aging.
Black Silicone Rubber Sheet has a smooth surface finish and is available in a selection of thicknesses. It is used in a very broad variety of applications; just some of which are listed below.

Yes. We’re more than happy to cut half metres. One catch, we simply cannot work out how to make out site process these quantities. It’s a bit embarrassing really. If you would like to order half a metre of silicone rubber, please do contact us and we can process the order that way.
We’ll always supply as long a roll as possible to give you maximum versatility (nothing worse than being just a little too short). Maximum roll length for all thicknesses listed here is 10 metres so if you ordered 8 of one size, it would be supplied in a single roll.
We can. Obviously, the range of potential sizes is almost limitless so if you would like us to quote on supplying custom cut silicone parts please do contact us and we’ll be happy to assist.
If at all possible a silicone adhesive is the best way to go. Our HT 300 High Temperature Silicone doesn’t compromise temperature resistance. Black Seal is another high temperature silicone with oil and grease resistance that will also stick to silicone sheet very well.
If you only need to stick down small sections or need something that will cure faster than a silicone, it is possible to use our VA 8406 Industrial Super Glue along with our Contact Primer for Polyolefins. In our experience, most super glues without an additional primer will not bond silicone well.
