Silicone Rubber Washers
Key Properties
- Durometer: 10A – 90A
- FDA grades available
- UV/ozone resistant
- Biocompatible options
Why specify Silicone for rubber washers?
Silicone rubber washers handle extreme temperatures, food and medical contact, and applications where the washer must remain flexible across a wide thermal range. Cannon Gasket die-cuts custom silicone washers in FDA, medical, and industrial grades, with Class 10,000 clean room production when contamination control is required. Available in commercial, high-grade, FDA and medical, conductive, extreme-temperature, and fiberglass-reinforced grades.
Properties of Silicone rubber washers
Cannon Gasket cuts Silicone rubber washers to your drawing in durometer and thickness specifications of 10A to 90A Shore hardness. Ozone, UV, weathering, dilute acids and alkalis, water.
Silicone tolerances and customization
Standard dimensional tolerances on Silicone rubber 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.
How Silicone Performs in Washer Applications
- Retains compression and flexibility across the full range of temps - FDA-approved and medical-grade compounds available. - Good resistance to ozone, UV, weather, and polar fluids. - Biocompatible grades available
Common Washer Applications
Food and beverage equipment sealing washers, medical device assembly, pharmaceutical equipment, cryogenic test rigs, oven and HVAC service, and high-temperature electrical insulation washers.
When Another Material Is the Better Specification
For oil or fuel contact, Fluorosilicone or Viton. For abrasion under wear loads, polyurethane.
