Silicone Rubber Sourcing is an independent procurement partner. We do not manufacture, stock, or publish a price list. A silicone rubber brief starts with the form you actually need, then Shore A or Shore D hardness, quantity by configuration, and the destination plant.
Neighbouring wording on this cluster — liquid silicone rubber, silicone rubber bands, silicone rubber sheet — is not treated as five SKUs. Each string still has to name one request so two factories fill the same gaps.
Request factory quotes Compare inquiry optionsPurchasing requirements that separate this family from a neighbouring silicone rubber option live here. Point at one form. Ratings, certificates, lead time and price stay subject to supplier confirmation.

Request datasheetThe buyer still decides the hardness window, the form, and which documents travel with the lot. This desk only lines the questions up. No figure below is a published rating for any option on this site.
| Axis the request must name | Sheet stock inquiry option | Molding compound inquiry option |
|---|---|---|
| Form the factory should quote | Sheet, roll or cut pad — thickness in in or mm | HCR or liquid silicone rubber — process named |
| Shore A or Shore D hardness | Buyer range; factory cites the method and specimen | Buyer range; do not mix A and D on one line |
| Density in g/cc | Ask only when it distinguishes grade | Ask when filled vs unfilled is in doubt |
| Service temperature in °F or °C | With the medium; not a generic “high temp” | With the medium; not a generic “high temp” |
| Grade designation and ASTM | Named standard, e.g. ASTM D2000 callout if used | Named standard plus cure system if the buyer specified it |
| Inside the price vs billed later | Sheet size, trim, pallet wrap — factory must say | Drums, pails, catalyst kit — factory must say |
A complete silicone rubber request states quantity against each configuration, destination, and whether a sample must be approved before the production lot. Leave the form blank and each supplier silently picks a default that may not match the drawing.
REACH, RoHS, FDA 21 CFR 177, USP Class VI or ISO 10993 files are supplier evidence for a named grade and lot. A plant ISO 9001 certificate does not stand in for a lot test. This site does not issue material certificates.
Incoterms, packing and the document set sit next to the money figure. This desk does not recast a cheaper-looking number on a different Incoterm as a market percentage. See how a request is issued.
These names are check items. They are not badges of Silicone Rubber Sourcing.
Ask for the current document that cites the quoted grade and the ASTM or equivalent method, including the condition it was run under.
Only when food-contact is specified. The file must name the grade and the lot, not the trading company.
Declarations attach to the quoted compound. A brochure SVHC sentence is not a lot declaration.
Plant system evidence. Automotive PPAP still needs the part-level file the buyer named.
These are written check situations, not customer testimonials, savings claims or named endorsements.
Situation: two offers both say “70 Shore” but one cites Shore A and one cites Shore D. Action: send both back until the scale, specimen and method sit on the same line.
Situation: a plant ISO 9001 PDF arrives with no grade name. Action: ask for the lot report that covers the quoted silicone rubber configuration, then keep the plant PDF as background only.
Situation: a lower unit number uses EXW while the request asked for CIP to a US plant. Action: compare total procurement cost on the same Incoterms, packing and document set.
Missing fields stay visible. We do not invent a hardness, a food-contact conclusion, or a delivery clock. Eligibility for FREE sourcing support and any first-order support up to 3% applies to qualified business buyers and is confirmed after we review your product, quantity, destination, and sourcing requirements.
