Silicone sheet, translucent, colourlessfrom 5,90 €
Transparent silicone sheets are used industrially as gasket and sealing materials and as mats and underlays. However, this tear-proof and stretchable material is also good for making articles like bags, coverings, wall coverings or lamps (high degree of temperature resistance). Because it is weather-proof, it can be used outdoors.
The silicone, which is very soft, can be cut using a blade or shears. It can hardly be glued at all but it has been our experience that small area bonds can be successfully achieved using Contact-Primer or super glue (VA2500 HT). Such bonds, however, are not of a strength that can be recommended for construction purposes. Better alternatives in such cases are riveting, screwing or sewing.
To protect the silicone sheet during transport and storage, it is coated with talcum powder. The greasy powder can leave a whitish film on hands and clothing, which can be washed off and out easily.
