Typical Properties of 30 Durometer Commercial Grade Silicone

Description: 30 durometer commercial grade silicone, which is designed for use in silicone gasket applications that do not require demanding physical properties, but where higher temperature resistance is required. 30 durometer commercial grade silicone has a service temperature of -80°F to +450°F, with the ability to handle +500°F on an intermittent basis. As a non-toxic and chemically inert material, 30 durometer commercial grade silicone offers excellent ozone and UV resistance. A unique feature of 30 durometer commercial grade silicone is that the material has a low compression set.

M&P Sealing’s commercial grade silicone gasket material is available in a wide range of durometers ranging as soft as 30 durometer, to as hard as 80 Durometer, with other durometers available in between. 30 durometer commercial grade silicone is supplied red in color and can be slit into rolls ranging from as narrow as 1/4″ wide, to a maximum width of 36″. M&P Sealing has the ability to provide 30 durometer commercial grade silicone without adhesive or with an acrylic adhesive. We can apply our standard acrylic adhesive or our high-temperature acrylic adhesive to 30 durometer silicone. 30 durometer commercial grade silicone can be manufactured in thicknesses ranging from as thin as .016″ to as thick as 1″. M&P Sealing has the ability to fabricate 30 durometer silicone by die-cutting or waterjet cutting to meet your exact requirements.
