Specification
Solid silicones
Many NewMet solid silicones offer fire retardant properties and some can be used for acoustic insulation. The materials are available as strip or gaskets, with or without adhesive backing and we can supply material from a thickness of 0.3mm. We can supply various shore hardnesses and various colours including transparent silicone. Conductive materials and glass-fibre re-inforced grades are available.
