Silicone Aluminum Sheet Bonded

Compression molding provides increased durability in comparison to extruded silicone rubbers.

Silicone aluminum sheet bonded.

Standard metal thickness is 1 16 12 x 24 or 24 x 36 standard sheet sizes. Dead soft aluminum bonded heat seal silicone sheet options. Schwerdtle silicone sheets are used extensively in assembly and decorating operations such as heat transfers and sealing. Dead soft aluminum bonded heat seal silicone sheet specifications.

United silicone bonded silicone rubber sheets are engineered and compression molded. Warm the polypropylene surface with a hair dryer or heat gun. The bond between the aluminum and the silicone and the silicone itself are all designed to withstand hundreds of autoclave cleaning in a medical environment. Checks 100 of the parts for strong bond.

The stock sheet backing options are aluminum cold rolled steel dead soft aluminum stainless steel and unbonded. The molded rubber parts pictured are not in stock or for sale. Single component epoxies are ideal for bonding aluminum. Silicone rubber sheet is chemically bonded to an aluminum substrate using our proprietary process for durability.

Our silicone rubber is heat tolerant to 500 degrees farenheit and provides a non marring surface. The silicone rubber cover wraps around the ends of the sleeve and is bonded in such a way to significantly reduce the likelihood of contamination where the two materials meet. Precision ground for flatness. Consider es550 or es558.

Rough the silicone rubber and the metal with a low grit coarse sand paper. This makes epoxy one of the few glues that s good for joining hard heavy non porous materals like metal glass and stone. Structural acrylics such as ta4246 are very strong aluminum bonders. Sheet aluminum being relatively lightweight for a sheet metal will easily join with a heavy duty epoxy provided the liquid resin is applied in high enough quantities for the project.

Spray a solvent based activator accelerator aa on either the silicone rubber or metal. Once the silicone is bonded to the aluminum custom rubber corp. 1 32 to 1 2 rubber thickness. Two component epoxies also form strong bonds to aluminum.

In this particular case the application is a medical instrument handle so top notch craftsmanship and consistency are required. Permabond et515 and mt382 are popular choices for thin panel aluminum bonding as they minimize or eliminate read through show through. 60 shore a durometer.
