Reinforced liquid silicone rubber sheeting and method for its manufacture

摘要

Reinforced silicone rubber sheeting (92) is formed. A first layer (34) of uncured liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is applied to a continuous carrier film (14). A continuous reinforcing fabric (46) is placed onto the first layer (34) of uncured LSR. A second layer (68) of uncured LSR is then applied onto the continuous reinforcing fabric (46) to completely encapsulate the fabric (46) in LSR. The first layer (34) and second layer (68) of LSR are then heat cured to complete the sheeting. The reinforced silicone rubber sheeting (92) of the present invention includes a cured LSR (34′ and 68′) overlying a continuous carrier film (14), and a continuous reinforcing fabric (46) completely encapsulated within the cured LSR (34′ and 68′).
