Silicon sheets, often referred to as silicone rubber sheets, are versatile materials with a wide array of applications. Composed of silicone rubber, these sheets offer remarkable flexibility, resilience, and temperature resistance. Silicon sheets are known for their excellent heat resistance, remaining stable over a wide temperature range, from extreme cold to high heat. They are used in various industries for gaskets, seals, insulation, and as baking or food-grade mats due to their non-toxic nature. Their remarkable electrical insulation properties make them valuable in electronics. Silicone sheets are also favored for their resistance to UV rays and chemicals. Their pliability, along with these properties, contributes to their popularity in industries such as aerospace, medical, and manufacturing.

Rubber sheets are versatile materials known for their resilience, durability, and elasticity. These sheets are typically made from natural rubber or synthetic rubber compounds, each with specific properties and applications. Rubber sheets offer exceptional impact resistance, making them ideal for shock-absorbing components in automotive, machinery, and construction. They also serve as effective gaskets and seals, preventing leaks and providing weatherproofing in various industrial contexts. Their anti-slip properties make them valuable for flooring and matting in settings like gyms and industrial floors. Rubber sheets are resistant to water, chemicals, and weather, ensuring long-lasting performance in diverse environments. Their adaptability and robustness contribute to their widespread use in manufacturing, transportation, and construction industries.
