How to Use Food Grade Silicone Rubber Sheets (Translucent)

SYNTHETIC RUBBER PRODUCTS’ Food Grade Silicone Sheets are designed for easy application across many industries in Malaysia. Whether you’re in food processing, pharmaceuticals, or OEM manufacturing, here’s how you can use them effectively:

1. Cutting & Fabrication

• Use a sharp industrial blade or die-cutting machine to cut sheets into the required shapes (gaskets, strips, liners).
• Sheets can also be laser-cut or water-jet cut for precise designs.
• Always ensure clean, sterile cutting tools when preparing for food or medical use.

2. Installation in Food & Beverage Processing

• As Baking Mats / Oven Liners – Place directly on trays or racks; withstands up to +200°C.
• As Worktop Covers – Lay on food preparation tables for a hygienic, non-stick surface.
• As Conveyor Liners – Attach with food-safe adhesive or mechanical clamps for long-term use.

3. Use in Pharmaceutical & Medical Applications

• Gaskets & Seals – Install into machines (autoclaves, capsule fillers, mixers) by replacing old seals with cut silicone gaskets.
• Sterile Surfaces – Spread sheets on lab benches or clean rooms for a hygienic, wipeable surface.
• Reusable Covers – After sterilization (steam or chemical), sheets can be reused safely.

4. OEM & Industrial Use

• As Electrical Insulation – Position inside control panels or around heat-sensitive machinery.
• As Protective Lining – Place in packaging or sealing machines where contact with food or chemicals occurs.
• Custom Moulding – Fabricators can vulcanize or bond sheets into specialized OEM components.

5. Cleaning & Maintenance

• Wash sheets with mild detergent and warm water after use.
• Avoid strong solvents that may shorten product life.
• Can be sterilized via steam (autoclave), boiling water, or food-grade disinfectants.
• Store flat or rolled in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight.

Best Practices for Using Silicone Rubber Sheets

Choose the right thickness (1mm–10mm) depending on pressure, sealing, or surface coverage needs.

For food processing, always confirm FDA or EU compliance certificates.

For high-heat applications, allow for thermal expansion by leaving slight clearance in fixtures.

Replace sheets if signs of tearing, cracking, or surface wear are observed.
