In the world of advanced materials, finding a solution that balances extreme performance with reliability is key. While many options exist, Silicone foam stands out for its exceptional properties, especially in its high-density form. At Fusion Foams, we specialize in pushing the boundaries of what this incredible material can do.

But what exactly is high-density silicone foam, and why is it often the superior choice over standard rubber foams?

Silicone Foam vs. Traditional High-Density Rubber Foam

At first glance, Silicone foam and high-density rubber foam might seem similar to other elastomeric foams. However, the differences are profound:

• Extreme Temperature Resistance: Unlike many rubber foams that become brittle in cold or soften in heat, silicone foam maintains its integrity and flexibility from -60°C to over 200°C. This makes it ideal for aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications.

• Superior Environmental Sealing: High-density silicone foam provides excellent compression set resistance. This means it compresses to form a tight, lasting seal against moisture, dust, and gases, and then springs back to its original shape again and again without failing.

• Inherent Flame Resistance: Silicone foam is naturally flame-retardant, meeting various industry standards without the need for added toxic fire retardants that can compromise other properties.

Key Applications of High-Density Silicone Foam

The unique combination of properties makes our high-density foam the material of choice for critical applications:

• EMI/RFI Shielding Gaskets: Provides both environmental sealing and protection against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.

• Thermal Insulation & Management: Its stability at high temperatures makes it perfect for insulating and managing heat in electronics and engine compartments.

• Vibration Damping: The high-density formulation excels at absorbing shock and dampening vibrations in sensitive equipment.

• Life Sciences & Medical Devices: Its biocompatibility and stability under sterilization (autoclave, radiation) make it safe for medical use.
