Reinforced Silicone Sheet
Cured or Uncured
Fenner Precision’s Reinforced Silicone Sheet is specially designed to bond securely to any substrate, shape or texture.
Combining the flexibility and heat resistance characteristics of silicone with added strength, Fenner Precision reinforced silicone sheet offers a uniquely high-performing, hardwearing and reliable product for demanding applications such as
- Pipe Rehabilitation
- Press Pads
- Gangway Bellows
- Flexible Heater Systems.
As the leading specialists in designing and producing bespoke silicone solutions, Fenner Precision can successfully coat most every organic elastomer, including natural rubber, EPDM, and polychloroprene.
We have the capability to specify and manufacture the ideal solutions for even the most challenging requirements.
Typical Material and Physical Properties
- Various glass fibre fabrics are available (details can be provided upon enquiry)
- Silicone coated fabrics are available with both faces uncured (DUC), one face cured and one face uncured (SUC) as well as both faces cured (CC)
- Silicone coating thickness can be as little as 0.1mm [0.004”]. There is no limit on the maximum coating thickness, as multiple layers can be added as required.
- Coated fabric materials are usually supplied with a smooth polythene release material against each face, on cardboard cores.
Unreinforced Silicone Sheet
With excellent insulation properties, together with low smoke and toxicity, Fenner Precision unreinforced silicone sheet is an ideal …

Typical Material and Physical Properties
- Silicone coating thickness can be as little as 0.25mm [0.010”]. There is no real limit on the maximum coating thickness, as multiple layers can be added as required

Value Adding Features
- Silicones have good heat resistance properties ; standard silicone materials are UL (Underwriters Laboratory) approved for a continuous operating temperature (RTI) of 150ºC
- Silicone is a good material in terms of burning characteristics ; whereas other elastomers emit a lot of harmful chemicals leaving a potent black sticky deposit when burnt, silicones perform much better in terms of emissions and leave a preferable white non-sticky residue
