Silicone foam

Silicone foam (foamed silicone) is a porous material made of silicone material by foaming process. It combines the advantages of silicone materials, such as high-temperature resistance, chemical resistance and other properties, and has good thermal, acoustic and vibration damping properties due to the large number of pores contained in its internal structure. This material is used in a wide range of industries, especially in areas requiring special environmental adaptations.

Features

  1. excellent temperature resistance: stable performance over a temperature range of -60°C to 200°C (300°C for some specialties).
  2. good electrical insulation: high volume resistivity even at high temperatures or under humid conditions.
  3. excellent weathering and aging resistance: not easy to age when exposed to outdoor environments for long periods of time.
  4. excellent sealing effect: it can effectively prevent the intrusion of dust, water vapor and other external substances, and at the same time, it has a certain degree of waterproof function.
  5. soft and elastic: easy to be compressed and deformed to restore the original state, suitable for use as cushioning gaskets.
  6. Strong chemical stability: It shows good resistance to most chemicals and is not easy to react with them.
  7. Good biocompatibility: Some medical grade products are harmless to human body and can be used in medical equipment.

Applications

  1. Electrical and electronic industry: used as insulating gaskets, heat sink backing, etc.; can also be used to protect sensitive components from impact damage.
  2. Automobile manufacturing: used in body gap filling, engine compartment sound insulation and noise reduction.
  3. Building decoration: it can be used as sealing strips for doors and windows, wall insulation layer, etc. to improve the overall performance of the building.
  4. Aerospace: In view of its lightweight and high strength characteristics, it is involved in both internal and external components of aircraft.
  5. medical devices: made into a variety of catheters, dressings and other disposable supplies to protect patient safety.
  6. Daily consumer goods: such as non-slip mats and foot mats in kitchen supplies, increasing the comfort and safety of use.
