Silicone Membrane 40 Shore A – 3 mm Thickness, 700% Elongation

The 40 Shore A silicone membrane (3 mm thickness) is a high-performance, highly elastic material designed for vacuum pressing, laminating, thermoforming, and composite processing. Its exceptional flexibility and durability ensure long-lasting performance even in demanding industrial environments.

Key Specifications

  • Hardness: 40 Shore A – ideal compromise between elasticity and strength.
  • Thickness: 3mm.
  • Elongation: up to 700% – excellent flexibility and tear resistance.
  • Temperature resistance: –40°C to +200°C
  • Smooth, non-stick surface

Advantages

  • Perfect for heating and forming under continuous pressure;
  • Maintains elasticity through repeated stretching cycles;
  • Provides precise molding and consistent material flow;
  • Suitable for all vacuum presses and membrane presses;
  • Long service life and high durability in daily industrial use.

The silicone membranes are made from premium-grade material, engineered for professional use and compliant with European quality standards. We offer custom sizes and worldwide delivery.

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.
