Food-Grade Silicone Rubber for Practical Sealing and Cutting Applications

Black Silicone Rubber 60 Shore A is designed for applications where flexibility, cleanliness, and dependable material performance are important. Its medium hardness gives it a balanced feel, firm enough for sealing and gasket work while still offering the flexibility expected from silicone rubber sheeting.

This material is suitable for users who need a compliant rubber sheet for food-contact, processing, sealing, or custom fabrication environments. With supplier-stated compliance to US FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, EU 1935/2004, and USP Class VI standards, it is a practical option for projects where material suitability and specification clarity matter before purchase.

Why 60 Shore A Hardness Matters

The 60 Shore A rating places this silicone sheet in a medium-hardness range. That makes it useful for parts that need shape stability without becoming too rigid. For gaskets, washers, and strips, this balance helps the material compress where required while still maintaining a reliable form during use.

Softer grades may be better for high-compression sealing, while harder grades may suit more rigid technical parts. This 60 Shore A option is a strong middle ground for general-purpose silicone sheet applications where both flexibility and durability are needed.

Plain Sheet or Self-Adhesive Backing Options

This silicone rubber sheet can be supplied plain or with a self-adhesive backing tape. Plain material is suitable where the sheet will be mechanically fixed, cut into components, or used as a loose layer. The self-adhesive backing option can help with easier placement where bonding to a clean, suitable surface is required.

For best results with adhesive-backed material, the surface should be dry, clean, and free from dust, oil, or loose particles before fitting. This helps improve contact and reduces the chance of early lifting.

Bespoke Cutting for Technical Rubber Parts

This material can be cut into different formats depending on the project requirement. It is suitable for producing strips, sheets, gaskets, washers, and custom shapes where accurate sizing is important.

Bespoke cutting is especially useful when standard sheet sizes do not match the space, seal, or component layout. It also helps reduce waste by allowing the material to be prepared closer to the final application size.

Suitable Use Cases and Material Considerations

Black silicone rubber sheeting is commonly selected for sealing, lining, protection, and custom component work. Its silicone construction gives it good flexibility and makes it suitable for environments where standard rubber may not be the preferred option.

Before ordering, users should consider the required thickness, hardness, contact conditions, and whether plain or self-adhesive material is more suitable. For technical or compliance-sensitive applications, it is always best to match the product specification with the intended working environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 60 Shore A mean?

60 Shore A refers to the hardness of the silicone rubber. It sits in a medium range, offering a balance between flexibility and firmness for sealing, gasket, washer, and general sheet applications.

Is this silicone rubber sheet FDA approved?

Yes, this material is listed as FDA approved, with supplier-stated compliance to US FDA 21 CFR 177.2600. This makes it suitable for applications where food-contact material compliance may be required.

Can this material be supplied with adhesive backing?

Yes, it can be supplied either plain or with self-adhesive backing tape. The adhesive-backed option is useful where the sheet or cut part needs easier placement onto a clean and suitable surface.

Can it be cut into custom shapes?

Yes, the material can be cut into bespoke sizes and shapes, including strips, sheets, gaskets, washers, and custom parts. This is useful when standard sheet dimensions do not match the required application.

Is black silicone rubber suitable for gasket making?

Yes, 60 Shore A silicone rubber is commonly used for gasket and sealing applications. Its medium hardness helps it maintain shape while still allowing practical compression in suitable environments.

Are other colours or grades available?

Other grades, colours, and finishes may be available, but they are subject to minimum order quantity. This should be checked before ordering if a specific colour, finish, or technical grade is required.
