Silicone Lathe-Cut Washers
Key Properties
- Durometer: 10–80 Shore A
- FDA grades available
- Low compression set
Why specify Silicone for lathe-cut washers?
Silicone lathe cut washers serve extreme temperature, FDA / medical, and cryogenic applications in thicknesses sheet rubber cannot deliver. Cannon Gasket lathe cuts custom silicone washers from FDA, medical, and industrial-grade silicone tube, with Class 10,000 clean room production for sensitive applications.
Properties of Silicone lathe-cut washers
Cannon Gasket cuts Silicone lathe-cut washers to your drawing in durometer and thickness specifications of 10A to 80A Shore hardness. Excellent resistance to ozone, UV, and weathering. FDA and USP Class VI grades available. Poor resistance to petroleum oils and fuels.
Silicone tolerances and customization
Standard dimensional tolerances on Silicone lathe-cut washersland around ±0.010" to ±0.015" on OD and ID, depending on material durometer and thickness. Tighter tolerances are available on select grades. Cannon Gasket cuts Silicone to custom profiles in-house and matches lead times to your production volume. PSA backing, pad printing, custom packaging, and kitting are all on the menu when you need them.
