Silicones are manufactured as a Silicone Foam or a Silicone Rubber:

Silicone Gasketing Foams (512AF)

High-performance silicone foams are the ideal solution for demanding gasketing applications due to their unique chemical structure that combines high temperature stability, general inertness, low compression set and a non-stick surface. Their quick compression recovery and weather, moisture, ozone, UV and fungus resistance mean extended service life in outdoor applications, making them ideal for a variety of markets and applications, including military, aerospace, electronics, life science, transportation, LED lighting, electric vehicles (EV) and packaging.

Features and Benefits

Unique combination of properties

Silicone is the only material that combines high temperature resistance with low compression set and a non-stick surface for outstanding performance in one product

Thermal stability

All inherent properties are maintained, and the material remains elastomeric over prolonged exposure to a wide temperature range without thermal degradation, making it the ideal choice even for extreme environments

Resistant against environmental stressors

Excellent weatherability, moisture, ozone, UV and fungus resistance in extremely damp or dry conditions mean extended service life in outdoor applications

Strong resistance

Good chemical, fluid and solvent resistance ensures reliable performance while still providing good electrical strength and non-stick properties

Low outgassing

At elevated temperatures, our silicone rubber solutions will outgas far less than other silicone elastomers and in case of fire, they will produce a non-conductive white ash and odorless, non-toxic smoke for increased safety

Silicone Adhesive Tapes (R10470)

Silicone adhesive tapes provide all the benefits of our silicone rubber in an easy-to-apply, pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, with options for high and low temperature silicone adhesive or aggressive, strong anchorage acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive on one side. Conforming to irregular shapes for cushioning and gasketing, these silicone tapes are perfect for applications that are exposed to the elements and require intricate shaping like electronic packaging, aerospace gasketing, gap filling and outdoor lighting.

Features and Benefits

Provided in a roll form

Eliminating the need to die-cut a part, these foam tapes conform to irregular shapes and are repositionable

Strong adhesive options

When considering adhesives, the bonding surface is a critical factor, and these silicone adhesive tapes effectively wet out to LSE plastics; adhesive options include silicone, acrylic and PET reinforced acrylic

Exceptional performance

Silicone tapes outperform all other elastomer tapes in service of life, weatherability, compression set resistance and electrical resistivity in extreme temperature applications

Wide range of availability

These pressure-sensitive silicone tapes are available in a variety of widths and thicknesses for use in gasketing, cushioning, thermal insulation and vibration dampening applications
