Provides air and water-tight seals for HVAC, automotive, and electronics applications, with better high-temperature sealing than EPDM or neoprene.
Features & Benefits of Silicone Foam
• Extreme Temperature Resistance: Silicone foam maintains its flexibility, structure, and performance across an exceptionally wide temperature range, from extreme cold to high heat. Where others foams can degrade, become brittle or lose elasticity. • Inherent Flame Retardancy: Silicone foam is naturally flame-retardant without requiring significant additives. Additives often compromise other properties like flexibility or durability. • Broad Chemical Resistance: Silicone foam resists degradation from a wide range of chemicals, oils, solvents, and UV exposure without requiring special coatings or treatments. • Resistance to Aging: Silicone foam resists cracking, hardening, or degrading over time, even under continuous environmental stress (e.g., UV, ozone, or temperature cycling).
What is Silicone Foam used for?
Seals and Gaskets:
Used in railcars, ships, and heavy machinery for sealing against water, dust, and temperature fluctuations, leveraging its weather and chemical resistance.
Weatherproofing:
Applied in outdoor glazing or cladding systems to resist UV, ozone, and temperature extremes.
Medical and Healthcare:
Employed in orthopedic supports or wheelchair cushions for comfort and durability.
Construction and Infrastructure:
Used in fire doors, curtain walls, and building joints to provide sealing with inherent flame retardancy, meeting strict building codes.
