Описание: This video takes a look at the benefits that are unique to silicone rubber sheets from United Silicone. https://unitedsilicone.com/supplies/d...

United Silicone has decades of experience as the market leader in silicone sheets. If you look at it- Silicone is right in our name. Since our company founding more than 40 years ago - we have been a leader in silicone-to-metal bond technology with our silicone rubber sheets, dies, and rollers.

Benefits unique to United Silicone sheets include superior heat properties, market-leading adhesion, a wide range of specifications, and superior repeatability. This video will provide additional information about each of these benefits.

SUPERIOR HEAT PROPERTIES
United Silicone offers a wide variety of silicone rubber materials capable of meeting the most challenging requirements for heat tolerance and thermal conductivity. Not all compliant materials are created equal. Urethane, viton, and other elastomers cannot withstand the temperature United Silicone´s silicone rubber formulations can.

MARKET-LEADING ADHESION
United Silicone uses a proprietary manufacturing process to bond silicone to the steel or aluminum backing. In addition to providing superior silicone-to-metal bonds, this proprietary process eliminates de-lamination worries along with the hassle of messy adhesives.

MARKET-LEADING RANGE
At United Silicone, we are proud to offer a market-leading range of high-performance silicone rubber sheets. We offer a variety of silicone formulations as well as options for sheet hardness (referred to as durometer), thickness, and sizes. We also offer a range of metal options in terms of material selection and thickness. This allows us to provide a range of mounting options to best meet customers varied needs.

SUPERIOR REPEATABILITY
Finally, United Silicone´s Silicone Rubber Sheets provide superior repeatability. Our precision grinding capability allows us to prepare sheets with plus or minus 0.010" tolerance as standard. This high-precision sheet grinding provides our sheets a blemish-free surface finish that ensures performance is highly repeatable.

SILICONE FORMULATIONS
United Silicone offers three different silicone formulations, each carefully engineered to meet specific performance requirements. Our Ultrasil Formulation is well-suited for demanding vertical and peripheral applications that require high temperatures and/or high pressure. Typically Ultrasil is used in manually fed situations. Our second silicone formulation is called Thermosil. Like- Ultrasil, Thermosil offers exceptional heat resistance even at very high temperatures. Thermosil also offers rapid heat recovery- making it well-suited to automated applications. Finally- our third silicone formulation is the FDA-3A. This formulation meets class 3A Sanitary- Class 1 test specifications and is ideally suited for food and medical applications.

MARKET-LEADING EXPERTISE
In addition to having a wide range of silicone sheet options, our team of experts has market-leading expertise to choose the right sheet for your unique application. Our experts can point you in the right direction in your silicone selection- ensuring you get it right from the start. We can help with tasks like avoiding air entrapment and heat marks in heat transfers. We can help you identify the best durometer and other key characteristics for your unique application.
