Silicone rubber is generally used by RH Nuttall for applications including medical, insulation, fire stops, plumbing and building. From simple silicone washers or silicone sheet, to more complex and bespoke silicone gaskets or silicone strip, RH Nuttall Limited has the answer. Thicknesses of silicone washers, silicone gaskets, silicone strip and silicone sheet can vary from 0.5mm, 0.8mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 10mm, 20mm. Custom made silicone can be produced to gain any non standard thickness that is required, but minimum order quantities are applicable.
Exceptional high and low temperature range without failure, making it a very thermally stable material and flame retardant.
Excellent electrical insulating properties, resistance to animal and vegetable oils, diluted acids, ozone, oxidation and water absorption.
Good resistance to arcing, ultra violet light and ozone.
Suitable for applications with food and drink.
Available in a range of colours with white, translucent and black being most popular. The silicone components we manufacture can be colour matched depending on the volume required.
Not suitable for applications requiring resistance to high tensile strength, tear strength, and abrasion.
Adhesive backing can be applied to any silicone washer, gasket, insulation, strip or sheet. Please ask one of our sales team for further details on adhesive backed silicone.
