Description
Platinum cured silicone sheets are a pinnacle of modern material engineering, known for their exceptional versatility, durability, and safety. These sheets are available by the linear metre, allowing users to customize the length according to their specific needs, making them an ideal choice for a wide range of applications across industries.
What is Platinum Cured Silicone?
Platinum curing refers to a process where silicone rubber is cross-linked using a platinum catalyst. This process yields a highly pure, non-toxic, and durable material with enhanced properties compared to traditional peroxide-cured silicone. The result is a superior silicone sheet that meets stringent requirements for hygiene, safety, and performance.
Key Features of Platinum Cured Silicone Sheets
-
High-Temperature Resistance
Platinum cured silicone can withstand temperatures ranging from -60°C to 230°C, making it ideal for environments with extreme thermal demands. -
Chemical Resistance
These sheets resist a variety of chemicals, oils, and solvents, ensuring longevity in harsh conditions. -
Non-Toxic and Food-Grade
The platinum curing process ensures the sheets are non-toxic and compliant with FDA regulations, making them safe for food contact and medical applications. -
Flexibility and Strength
Despite their durability, these sheets retain exceptional flexibility, ensuring ease of use and installation in various setups. -
Odorless and Tasteless
Perfect for applications where sensory neutrality is crucial, such as in the food, beverage, and medical industries.
Applications of Platinum Cured Silicone Sheets
-
Food and Beverage Industry
Used in sealing, gaskets, and liners due to their food-safe and hygienic properties. -
Medical and Pharmaceutical
Ideal for sterile environments, these sheets are frequently used in medical devices, gaskets, and surgical equipment. -
Industrial Applications
Their resistance to heat and chemicals makes them perfect for demanding industrial settings like automotive seals and high-temperature insulations. -
Electronics
Used for insulation and protection of sensitive electronic components.
Advantages Over Peroxide Cured Silicone Sheets
Platinum cured silicone offers superior purity, eliminating the risk of by-products that can leach from peroxide-cured alternatives. It also boasts better thermal stability, longer lifespan, and enhanced safety, especially in applications requiring sterility and hygiene.
