When it comes to sealing, insulating, or cushioning materials in various industrial, commercial, and DIY applications, General Purpose Silicone Rubber Sheet (30° Shore) - Linear Metre stands out for its impressive versatility and durability. This high-quality silicone rubber sheet is specifically designed to cater to a wide range of needs, offering unmatched flexibility, excellent performance, and ease of customization.

What is General Purpose Silicone Rubber Sheet (30° Shore)?

The General Purpose Silicone Rubber Sheet (30° Shore) is a soft yet durable material made from silicone, which boasts exceptional temperature resistance, flexibility, and sealing capabilities. With a Shore hardness rating of 30°, this material provides a soft texture that offers cushioning, damping, and easy handling, making it ideal for applications that require flexibility and soft resilience.

Shore hardness refers to the material’s resistance to indentation; a lower number like 30° Shore means the material is more flexible and softer, while a higher number would indicate a harder, more rigid material. This makes it particularly well-suited for seals, gaskets, and cushioning purposes where flexibility is essential.
