Black Silicone Sheets

Black Silicone for Food Contact Applications

In the food industry, strict regulations govern materials that come into contact with food. Black silicone sheets designed for food use must meet hygiene standards such as those set by the National Institute of Hygiene and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These certifications ensure the material’s suitability for food contact. If silicone sheets are to be used in food production, they must have such approvals, unless they are intended solely for industrial purposes.

Approved Black Silicone in the Food Sector

Materials used in food applications must be physiologically inert and highly hygienic. For this reason, standard rubbers such as SBR, NBR, or EPDM cannot be used. Likewise, red silicone sheets are excluded from food-grade use. Only black, white, or transparent silicone is suitable. Black silicone mats are widely used in cold storage rooms, dryers, and butcher shops as non-slip surfaces. Easy to clean, they help maintain hygiene and safety in food processing environments.

Key Benefits of Black Silicone Sheets

Black silicone contains polymers with silicon and oxygen atoms, making it highly resistant to environmental stress. It withstands extreme temperatures, UV and infrared radiation, oxidation, and ozone exposure. Its non-flammable nature and vibration-absorbing properties make it a great insulating material. It’s also resistant to acids, alkalis, alcohols, esters, vegetable and animal fats, and mineral oils. Chemically inert and food-grade approved, black silicone remains stable even under pressure and harsh conditions.

Gasket Production and Custom Cutting

Standard black silicone sheets are available in rolls of 1200 x 10000 mm. We offer custom cutting to eliminate waste and meet individual needs. Thanks to modern technologies, we provide accurate and clean cuts. Black silicone is ideal for producing high-temperature gaskets used in ovens, cold rooms, autoclaves, air-conditioning systems, and specialized equipment. The gaskets are durable and ensure long-term reliability.

Sizes and Hardness Options

Black silicone sheets are available in various hardness levels: 30 ShA and 80 ShA (cut to 500 x 500 mm) and the most popular 60 ShA (in 1200 x 10000 mm rolls). Available thicknesses include 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, and 12 mm. We also offer custom cutting upon request.
