Product overview

What is a silicone membrane?

The silicone membrane is a flexible, heat-resistant component used in vacuum presses and membrane presses to apply uniform pressure to flat, curved, or complex-shaped parts. Thanks to its elasticity and thermal stability, it allows for working with materials such as Solid Surface, acrylic sheets, thermoplastics, artificial stone, and composites, ensuring a precise fit across the entire surface of the part.
