Typical Properties of 70 Durometer Translucent Grade Silicone
Description: 70 durometer translucent grade silicone gasket material designed for use in a wide variety of gasket applications. Style AG7008 offers extreme high and low-temperature resistance, with a service temperature of -80°F to +450°F, and has the ability to withstand +500°F on an intermittent basis. 70 durometer translucent grade silicone provides excellent UV and ozone resistance and is non-toxic. This low volatile material is peroxide-free and takes a low compression set. 50 durometer translucent grade silicone is manufactured with FDA approved ingredients listed in CFR 117.2600, an FDA regulation which deals with rubber articles intended for repeated use in contact with food. This low volatile material is peroxide-free and takes a low compression set. Commonly used in applications where food is present, a unique feature of 70 durometer translucent grade silicone is that it is non-yellowing, which means the material will not discolor over time.
M&P Sealing’s translucent grade silicone gasket material is also available in 50 durometer and in 60 Durometer. Additional durometers are available upon request. 70 durometer translucent grade silicone can be slit into rolls ranging from as narrow as 1/4″ wide, up to 36″ in width. M&P Sealing can manufacture 70 durometer translucent grade silicone without adhesive or choose from either our standard acrylic adhesive or our high-temperature acrylic adhesive. 70 durometer translucent grade silicone can be produced to standard and custom thicknesses.
