Silicone CG Black - 50A is used in applications where physical properties are not critical but extreme temperature resistance is necessary. This sheeting makes excellent gasket material, offers both UV and ozone resistance.
Silicone CG Black - 50A
For an application that requires a high level of temperature resistance from your elastomer, consider using this commercial grade black silicone rubber. It is a flexible silicone sheet that has a durometer rating of 50 Shore A, allowing it to have a better degree of flexibility than any of it's higher durometer counterparts. Available in standard widths of 36" and maximum lengths of 50ft per roll, this high temperature material has a smooth texture and can be fabricated into various seals and gaskets.
Flexible Rubber Sheet: This silicone (50 Durometer) elastomer is well suited for use in applications that require a more flexible material instead of a rigid one. A low durometer rating indicates that the rubber is less resistant to physical indentation, but much more pliable for the purposes of flexibility. Additionally, a lower durometer elastomer is less dense and more pliable that has a high durometer.
High Temperature Material: Silicone rubber is the go-to elastomer for any applications that involve extreme temperatures. This particular black silicone sheet has an operating temperature range of -103 F to 450 F. You can employ this flexible silicone sheet in very cold settings and very hot settings without having to worry about it suffering from immediate damage.
Custom Fabrication Available: In case you want this high temperature material in a customized form, these silicone 50 durometer sheets can be fabricated according to your specifications. Due to the low durometer rating of this elastomer that favors pliability, it can easily be cut by hand. Other fabrication methods are available upon request, such as laser, die, and water-jet cutting.
