Red Sponge Silicone sheeting

Expanded closed cell silicone sponge in a lighter and more compatible shape provides much of the performance advantages of solid silicone.

The red silicone sponge is the ideal alternative for the medical, pharmacy and food processing industry. The bulk of silicone sponge materials currently available are produced of polydimethylsiloxane (PMDS) based on the gum.

All of silicone sponge products commercially available consists of polydimethyl siloxane (PMDS) based on gum. As it is heated to create the cell's closed sponge structure, the polymer is chemically expanded. Closed cells mean cells are interconnected, and so water does not flow through the sponge. Closed cells Silicone sponges typically have higher mechanical properties and a full cell structure.

Expanded closed silicone sponge provides several performance advantages of a softer and more conformal form of solid silicone.

Red silicone sponge is Expanded closed cell material which lighter and more compatible shape provides much of the performance advantages of solid silicone.

Closed Cell Red Silicone Sponge Main Benefits:

• Large working temperature-silicone sponge has a temperature range of -73 ° C to 200 ° C .We offer a high temperature variant for usage up to 270 ° C, please contact the sales team leader for more details
• Water sealing – the closed cell structure enables effective water sealing with fairly low compressive forces.
• Resistance to compression set – silicone offers excellent resistance to compression setting (ability to rebound to the original thickness), particularly at higher temperatures compared to most rubber content. For even better results than the general purpose grades, low compression set silicone sponges are affordable.
• UV and ozone resistance – silicone products exhibit outstanding resistance to UV and ozone thanks in part to their inorganic backbone. That provides value over the long term.
• Rugged – the silicone sponge pieces are more durable than any other items that are publicly available when needed.
• Outdoor gasketing – taking into account all of the aforementioned advantages, silicone sponge is a decent source of material for outdoor conditions, from the Arctic to the mountains.

Many available densities which could be subject to minimum order quantities.
