Product Description:
This unique
product offers a compression deflection of a medium density
sponge but has the light density of open cell foam. It combines
the best of both worlds. Silicone exhibits a wish list of
characteristics including superb chemical resistance, high
temperature performance, good thermal and electrical resistance,
long-term resiliency, and easy fabrication. It also possesses
excellent UV and ozone resistance. Silicone is odorless,
tasteless and non-toxic. Silicone foam is grey in color,
lightweight and flexible with a smooth skin on both sides.
Common Applications:
Silicone foam can be used for insulating and
cushioning electronic assemblies. It can also be used for
gaskets, seals, air filters, thermal shielding, cushioning for
aviation, automotive and locomotive industries as well as
flame-retardant applications. Silicone foam is also approved
for repeated food contact.

Note:
Tests, claims representations and descriptions regarding
flammability are based on standard laboratory tests and, as
such, may not be reliable for determining, evaluating,
predicting or describing the flammability of burning
characteristics under actual fire conditions, whether used alone
or in combination with other products. Accordingly, each
potential user should make an individual determination whether
the flammability or burning characteristics of the product are
suitable for the purpose intended by the user.
