Description

Silicone Membrane 2 mm – 1400×2900 mm for Material Bonding and PVC Foil Lamination

The 2 mm SM-40 silicone membrane is a professional consumable used in vacuum and membrane presses for processing materials at elevated temperatures. The membrane is fully compatible with the Istra-A VPF-2-2600 vacuum press with a working table of 2600×1400 mm. Thanks to its material properties, the membrane fully utilizes the capabilities of the membrane press, easily follows complex geometries, and ensures even pressure distribution across the entire pressing area.

High heat resistance and elasticity

Made from industrial-grade silicone compound ASU-4079, the membrane has a hardness of 40 Shore A and combines high elasticity of up to 700% with an operating temperature of up to 200°C. The 2 mm thickness ensures precise reproduction of complex shapes, uniform contact, and no marks on the material. The semi-transparent milky-beige tint allows for visual control of workpiece positioning during operation, which is especially important when processing shaped elements.

Applications of the silicone membrane

Used in the following fields:

forming of artificial stone and composite materials;
thermoforming of acrylic and plastics;

Advantages of silicone membranes

stable performance at temperatures up to 200 °C;
compatible with most European vacuum press models.

How to choose the membrane length?

The length must fully cover the working area of the press with a 5–10 cm margin. If you are unsure, contact us and we will recommend the correct size.

Are the membranes compatible with presses from other manufacturers?

Yes, the membranes are compatible with equipment from most European brands. Provide the press model, and we will help you choose the right length.

What is the service life of a silicone membrane?

On average, 6–12 months of regular use. The lifespan depends on temperature, materials, cleanliness of the workpieces, and the number of operating cycles.

Can a silicone membrane be used in woodworking?

Yes, silicone membranes can be used in:

veneering;
laminating and surface cladding;
2D forming of complex-shaped parts;
production of furniture fronts, interior panels, advertising elements.

However, material specifics must be considered: silicone membranes have lower resistance to mechanical damage compared to natural rubber membranes. Therefore, for woodworking tasks involving frequent contact with sharp edges, we recommend using a natural rubber membrane, which better withstands point loads.
