I cushion and insulate like other foamed materials but I also give you the
benefits of silicone rubber while reducing production costs and increasing
productivity. Plus, I'm safe because no chemical solvents are used when I'm
made.
01
USAGE
Silicone Foam
can be used for packaging, gaskets, o-rings, rollers and consumer goods
(kitchen accessories, bakeware, seals, mats). Design concepts include: long
lasting outdoor products with pleasant touch and vibrant colors.
02
AESTHETIC PROPERTIES
E asily pigmented and odorless, Silicone Foam is 3
dimensional foamed rubber (foamed core, closed cells) with a soft, non-sticky
feel. It can provide up to 60% weight reduction versus solid silicone rubber
parts.
03
MATERIAL PERFORMANCE
Silicone Foam
offers excellent thermal stability / insulation, compression set, resistance to
chemicals and superior long term performance in extreme conditions (UV, water,
high and low temp).
04
PROCESSING
Silicone Foam
provides cost reduction and increased productivity through easier processing,
higher production rates, improved part reproducibility and superior safety
versus high consistency rubber. It can be made by liquid injection molding with
additional gas mixing equipment or standard methods (compression, extrusion,
calendaring).
05
SUSTAINABILITY
Silicone Foam
produces no harmful by-products and unlike polyurethane foam, finished parts
are hardly flammable. Non-hazardous, non-flammable gas is used in production
without chemical blowing agents.
06
COST
Silicone Foam
can increase productivity through reduced cycle times, increased parts per
cycle, and nearly no material loss versus standard molding.
