What are Reinforced Silicone Rubber gaskets?

Reinforced Silicone Rubber Gaskets can be cut and supplied in the form of a strip or a pad, but are generally an intricately cut shaped piece of material placed between two surfaces to create a low pressure seal preventing the leakage of liquids or gas and to seal against the intrusion of dust and debris. 

Standard Silicone (SI) rubber is an excellent material choice for converting into high performance  gaskets which can operate at high and low temperatures.   Silicone rubber even performs well when used outdoors and exposed to UV, weathering, ozone and moisture. 

This Reinforced Silicone Rubber is formulated using the same compound as standard silicone, but has a glass fabric running through the center which acts as reinforcement to produce a more superior and durable, tear resistant material and thus a much stronger gasket.

Why use Reinforced Silicone Rubber Gaskets?

Reinforced Silicone Rubber gaskets are  recognisable by its red colouration, however these gaskets can also be made using different grades of reinforced silicone which are black or grey in colour.  

Reinforced silicone gaskets are available in a choice of thicknesses from 1mm through to 6mm, they offer a broad working temperature range of around -62ºC - 260ºC, the same chemical resistance to standard silicone rubber, are odourless, tasteless and non-toxic,  offering far more superior durability and tear resistance compared to standard silicone. This is thanks to the glass fabric reinforcing layer which creates excellent tear resistance and non-creep characteristics, making the material suitable for use in applications that require non-stretch seals and gaskets.

  • Superior tear resistance

 

Advantages of Using Reinforced Silicone Rubber Gaskets

Gaskets converted using Reinforced silicone offer many excellent advantages and are especially popular within the food, beverage and medical industries due it being non-toxic.  Reinforced Silicone Rubber gaskets have a number of other excellent properties including higher levels of tensile strength, elongation, and a superior tear strength in comparison to other materials.  

It has an operating temperature range of -62°C to +260°C,  can be used in some of the more demanding applications where a superior  and improved tensile and tear strength are required such as aerospace, automotive, and general engineering.

Reinforced Silicone Rubber gaskets offers excellent weatherability, resists well when exposed to various lubricating oils, and will maintain its physical properties over a wide temperature range.
