Usa Industrials BULK-RS-S40WFDA-38 Fda Silicone Sheet 40A White

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-RS-S40WFDA-38 is an FDA-compliant silicone rubber sheet with a high-temperature pressure-sensitive adhesive backing, supplied in a 24 x 24 x 0.125 inch format at 40 Shore A durometer in white. It is manufactured from materials that meet FDA guidelines for food contact, making it suitable for sealing, gasketing, and lining applications in food processing, beverage handling, and pharmaceutical environments. Silicone construction provides reliable performance across a wide temperature range and delivers excellent resistance to weathering, UV, and ozone. The low compression set means the sheet recovers its original profile after sustained compressive load, which is critical for long-term gasket and seal integrity.

This sheet is used in food processing plants, beverage production lines, pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, and anywhere a food-safe, high-temperature-tolerant elastomer is required. Typical applications include custom-cut gaskets, sanitary seals, equipment liners, and vibration-damping pads. The adhesive backing allows direct bonding to equipment surfaces without additional adhesive compounds. The white color is common in hygienic environments where contamination visibility is a priority for inspection and compliance programs.

Key Features

• FDA-compliant silicone formulation suitable for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical contact applications
• 40 Shore A durometer provides a firm yet compressible feel appropriate for sealing and gasketing
• High-temperature pressure-sensitive adhesive backing for direct surface bonding
• Low compression set allows the sheet to recover shape after extended compressive loading
• Excellent resistance to weathering, UV exposure, and ozone degradation
• White color supports visual contamination inspection in sanitary environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or fabrication-stock sheet for food-grade gasketing, sealing, and lining applications in industrial and processing equipment that requires FDA-compliant elastomer materials.

Installation Notes

Cut to shape using a sharp utility knife, die cutter, or waterjet for clean edges before removing the adhesive liner. Ensure the bonding surface is clean, dry, and free of oils or contaminants before applying the adhesive side to maximize adhesion. For gasket or seal applications in processing equipment, follow applicable sanitary equipment standards and facility hygiene protocols. Fabrication and installation should be performed by qualified maintenance or process technicians familiar with food-grade material handling requirements.
