What is High Temperature Silicone Foam

 

 

High temperature silicone foam is a resilient gasketing material made from liquid silicone rubber, a low viscosity liquid that is extruded and cured in an oven before being fabricated into the desired gasket shape. This results in a foam that is available in many densities (from 12–28 lbs./ft2). The lower density foams are open cell, and the denser foams are closed cell. These types of gaskets can be used in high temperature applications or seals in food processing (meets fda 21 cfr 177.2600). They can also be used in outdoor settings, as electric vehicle battery seals, and many other applications.

 

Benefits of High Temperature Silicone Foam
 

Unique, foam-like structure

First, let's look at the impressive uniqueness of the high temperature silicone foam structure. With its cellular build and air-filled voids, high temperature silicone foam is able to enjoy unique properties such as flexibility, cushioning, and compressibility. All of these ensure that the material is able to work in cases where shock absorption and comfort are required.

 

Excellent sealing and insulation properties

High temperature silicone foam is also good at sealing materials, protecting them from external elements. This benefit is thanks primarily to the material's ability to conform to irregular surfaces -high temperature silicone foam can easily provide a tight seal against air, water, and more, causing a lack of contamination for whatever it is expected to protect.the material also offers effective thermal and acoustic insulation due to its cellular structure, making it valuable for applications where temperature control and sound absorption are critical.

 

Wide range of durometer options

High temperature silicone foam can be formulated to achieve a range of hardness or durometer options, from soft and flexible to firm and rigid. This versatility allows for customization based on specific application requirements, providing flexibility in designing products with varying levels of comfort, support, or cushioning.

 

Biocompatibility and chemical resistance

High temperature silicone foam is biocompatible and chemically inert, making it suitable for medical and healthcare applications. It is non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and does not react with most substances, allowing it to be used in direct contact with the human body, such as in medical devices, prosthetics, and orthopedic applications.

 

Wide temperature range

High temperature silicone foam exhibits excellent resistance to extreme temperatures, maintaining its performance across a wide temperature range. It can withstand both high and low temperatures without significant changes in its physical properties, making it suitable for applications in harsh environments, automotive components, and hvac systems.

 

Excellent aging and weathering resistance

Types of High Temperature Silicone Foam
 

Cellular Silicone Foams 
Cellular silicone foams are certified for flame resistance and temperatures between -65°F to +400°F. They offer a wide compression force range and low compression set under high temperatures. This makes them ideal for sealing, cushioning, vibration management, and insulation applications. Their compact cell structure prevents particles from penetrating them, which is why the foam is so often used as a seal. Cellular silicone foams meet stringent UL-94 flame ratings and pass smoke and toxicity regulations. 

 

Specialty Cellular Foams 
Specialty cellular foams are specifically designed to be used with high performance substrates. They are capable of heat deflection and can be used in direct contact with a heat source, making them the ideal choice for thermal insulation and other applications where materials require flame retardant capabilities. They perform well in extreme temperatures without losing their durability. 

 

Sponge Silicones 
Sponge silicones are general purpose, durable foams that are used in rugged industrial environments. They are high performance closed-cell foams that meet BMS 1-23 and BMS 1-60 specifications. 

 

Solid Silicones 
Solid silicone foams make great gaskets for high temperature and high-pressure applications. They come in multiple thicknesses and durometers (range of 10 to 70) and are electrically conductive. This, combined with their dimensional stability and tear strength, makes them ideal for applications that involve sound reduction and absorption. They also offer tight tolerances and softness, allowing them to be used in tight sealing applications. Oftentimes, solid silicone products can meet FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 in food contact areas.

What's The Difference Between High Temperature Silicone Foam And Silicone Sponge?

 

 

Composition
Silicone foam is typically composed of silicone rubber and a blowing agent, which creates gas bubbles or cells in the material. This results in a more open-cell structure, similar to regular foam materials like polyurethane foam and has interconnected air pockets that allow for airflow and compression. On the other hand, silicone sponge is made by incorporating a filler material into the silicone rubber, creating a closed-cell structure, meaning its cells are sealed off from each other.

 

Density & Compression
Silicone foam generally has a lower density and is softer compared to silicone sponge. It is more compressible and offers better cushioning and shock absorption properties and will quickly recover its shape when pressure is released. Silicone sponge, being denser and more rigid, provides higher compression strength and is better suited for applications requiring stability and resistance to deformation.

 

Thermal Insulation
Due to their differing structures, silicone foam and silicone sponge have different thermal insulation properties. Silicone foam, with its open-cell structure, allows air circulation within the material, making it a better thermal insulator. Silicone sponge, with its closed-cell structure, offers less thermal insulation but provides superior resistance to heat transfer – it has a higher compressive strength and slower recovery rate.

 

Water Absorption
Silicone foam has higher water absorption capabilities due to its open-cell structure, which can be advantageous in certain applications, such as sealing against moisture or creating water-resistant barriers. Silicone sponge, with its closed-cell structure, has lower water absorption properties.

 

Applications
Both silicone foam and silicone sponge find applications in various fields. Silicone foam is commonly used in cushioning, padding, and vibration dampening applications. Silicone sponge is often utilised for sealing, gap filling, insulation, gaskets, thermal management applications and other applications requiring a reliable barrier against external elements. It provides a reliable seal against dust, air, water, and other environmental elements. Silicone foam, with its open-cell structure, is not ideal for sealing purposes as it allows for permeability.

 

 
Process of High Temperature Silicone Foam
 
 

Plasticizing (that is, the plasticity of the raw rubber refining
That is, no additives in the open refining machine refining. Let the rubber soften to melt into the cooperating agent (to prepare for mixing).The essence of plastic refining of raw rubber is to break and destroy the macromolecular chain of rubber, improve the plasticity of rubber, and make the mixing and blending of the compound easier. In the production of foamed rubber products, raw rubber is fully plasticized, will make the rubber plasticity better, easier to make the bubble hole uniformity, low density, small shrinkage products.

 
 

Mixing, that is, the plasticized rubber to add a variety of agents (additives) for refining
Mixing process is a variety of agents in the raw rubber (or plasticizing rubber) in the process of uniform dispersion. As with the mixing of other polymer materials, in order to make the compatibilizer uniformly mixed in the raw rubber, must use the strong mechanical action of the refining machine. However, because the rubber compound has more components of cooperating agents, the morphological properties of cooperating agents vary greatly, and the influence of cooperating agents on the mixing process, the degree of dispersion, and the structure of the rubber compound is also very great, so the mixing process of rubber is relatively more complicated than that of other polymer materials.

 
 

Parking
Rubber in the mixing is completed, must be placed for an appropriate period of time, so that a variety of additives in the mixing of rubber fully dispersed, rubber additives dispersed more evenly, the stability of the product size, the degree of smoothness of the surface, the degree of uniformity of the bubbles is also the better.

 
 

Temperature
Rubber foam is very sensitive to temperature, the same kind of rubber, foaming effect is not the same at different temperatures, because the foaming system and vulcanization system is sensitive to the temperature of different degrees, the system changes, the matching degree of difference, the effect is also different.

 
 

Molding
Foamed rubber products subsequent processing and molding methods are extrusion molding, molding, plate molding, etc., in accordance with the required structure of the finished product, specifications, length, size, shape, hardness, color is different, as well as the special needs of the drawings, you can carry out non-standard personalized customization.
