SILICONE FOAM
Silicone foam products are manufactured from platinum cured, liquid silicone rubber. The raw compound is expanded and dispensed on a continuous casting line, then heat cured. The expansion process is controlled to create a range of products having different densities, softness/firmness and cell structures. Silicone foam materials typically have a smooth skin on one or both sides due to the casting process. Open cell silicone foams are widely used for cushioning, dust sealing or light water sealing. Closed cell silicone foam materials are used for outdoor gaskets, wash-down gaskets and resilient cushioning pads. Expanded silicone foam products have a firmness range from Ultra Soft to Extra Firm, allowing engineers to select the best product for their application.
