How much do you know about foaming silicone?
2024-09-21
Today to introduce to you is-silicone foam products, foaming silicone is also a common product classification in silicone products.
Silicone foaming, also known as addition type silica gel, is based on silicone rubber as the substrate, the use of foaming way of production, so as to form a porous rubber structure, cross-section is similar to the honeycomb structure, with good resilience and mechanical strength.
The density of silicone foam (0.3-0.7g/cm3), its long service life, and pressure resistance, acid and alkali resistance, aging resistance, ultraviolet resistance, high and low temperature resistance, environmental protection, non-toxic and tasteless, good flexibility.
Silica gel foam is a highly active adsorption material, insoluble in any solvent, stable chemical properties, good dielectric properties and insulation properties.
The operating temperature range is wide, from -60 ℃ (or lower temperature) to 250 ℃ (or higher temperature).
The use of silicone foam
Silicone foam products have excellent heat resistance, cold resistance, high adsorption performance, high mechanical strength, good thermal stability. Therefore, it is often used in occasions with low temperature, heat resistance, UV resistance, ozone resistance and good electrical insulation properties. For example: automotive, aerospace, computers, machinery and equipment, electronics industry, kitchen appliances, home appliances and other equipment.
With the continuous development and update of foaming technology, and due to its superior characteristics, the product types of foaming silicone are more and more extensive, such as sealing strips, cushions, sealing rings, foaming tubes, gaskets and other vibration isolation materials and protective equipment.
Silicone foam sealing strip belongs to extrusion products and is a common seal. It is mainly used for textile printing and dyeing equipment, drying equipment, special-shaped door seal high-grade oven, high-grade vehicle doors and windows, architectural glass, etc. Various specifications and shapes can be customized and can be used with adhesive.
Silicone foam sealing ring belongs to molded products, which is one of the silicone sealing components to prevent external dust, air, water and so on from entering the system. Mainly used for waterproof sealing of display screen, electronic screen, LCD screen, street lamp signboard and other products.
Silicone foam tube is extruded products, because of uniform foaming, good elasticity, good softness, so the sealing extrusion is high, paste height is good! It can be used in supporting electronic appliances, furniture equipment, toys, hardware, medical equipment, sporting goods, audio, lighting, machinery, automobiles, industrial construction and other industries.
Silicone foam board has strong sealing ability, dustproof, moisture-proof, fireproof, airtight and shading, which can effectively prevent tiny particles and drifting rain. Can be used in electronic and vehicle interior vibration isolation, hot stamping printing equipment, mechanical seals, medical equipment and other industries. Can do shock absorption, buffer, press fit.
Can also be punched with a variety of strict requirements of the sealing gasket, backing plate, according to the different requirements of customers die cut into any shape of the sheet.
