Bellofram Silicones Introduces Solid<br />
Silicone Sheeting Meets FDA, NSF/<br />
ANSI 51, A-A-59588 Class 3B, and More<br />
Newell, W.Va. — Bellofram Silicones, an industry leader in<br />
the design and manufacture of extruded silicone and silicone<br />
sponge foam sheeting, has added solid silicone sheeting to<br />
its arsenal of products. Sheets are 36” x 36”, available in 30<br />
to 80 durometer, and thickness from 1/8” to 1/2” (in 1/16”<br />
increments). The solid silicone sheeting will meet immediate<br />
demand from material converters and is ideal for die cut<br />
solid silicone gaskets and other sealing applications. Specialized<br />
sheeting is also available, including solid silicone sheets<br />
in FDA- and NSF/ANSI 51-conforming materials for ultimate<br />
safety in food processing.<br />
Bellofram compounds all its own materials in-house, including<br />
special formulations such as those meeting high-tear,<br />
high-flex capabilities of A-A-59588 Class 3B. As with all<br />
Bellofram Silicones products, the solid sheet can be manufactured<br />
in virtually any color.<br />
Sheets are available for order with no minimum quantities,<br />
for ultimate ordering flexibility.<br />
Bellofram Silicones offers solid silicone sheeting for industrial applications.<br />
“Our silicone sponge sheet is a mainstay of our product line<br />
and we’re pleased to bring the same Bellofram expertise and<br />
quality to this new solid silicone sheet,” said Matt Wingertsahn,<br />
general manager of Bellofram Elastomers Division.<br />
“We’re bringing great versatility to our customers with the<br />
product’s ease of converting and through the ability to order<br />
smaller quantities. I expect it will appeal to just-in-time delivery<br />
shops as well as those that convert many different kinds<br />
of products on their own production lines.”<br />
Wingertsahn also touts the product’s NSF/ANSI 51 conforming<br />
status, which makes it ideal for food contact even beyond<br />
traditional FDA guidelines. The product is also expected<br />
to be in high demand in diverse markets including aerospace<br />
and industrial lighting, in addition to food processing. Bellofram’s<br />
investment in extended press capabilities represents its<br />
commitment to the solid sheet product.<br />
