Silicone Sponge Rubber Products: Versatile Solutions for Sealing, Cushioning, and Insulating
In a wide range of industrial applications, silicone sponge rubber products earn renown for their versatility and reliability.Composed of a unique blend of silicone polymers and closed-cell sponge structure, these products offer exceptional sealing, cushioning, and insulating properties. Silicone sponge rubber is made from gum-based polydimethylsiloxane (PMDS), a silicone elastomer that is expanded at the time it is heat cured to create a closed cell sponge structure. This process is similar to adding yeast to bread to make it rise. Which results in a material that is soft, flexible, and filled with compressible air pockets. At Exactseal, we specialize in manufacturing high-quality silicone sponge rubber products that meet the diverse needs various industries.
Superior Sealing Performance
One of the key advantages of silicone sponge rubber products is their superior sealing performance. The closed-cell sponge structure of these products enables them to conform to irregular surfaces. This creates a tight and reliable seal against moisture, dust, and other environmental contaminants. Our sponge products offer the performance benefits of solid silicone but in a softer and more compliant form. They are known for their wide operating temperature range, excellent weather sealing with relatively low compressive forces, and outstanding resistance to compression set. This means they can maintain their original thickness even after compression, especially at higher temperatures. Whether used as door sponge seals, sponge gaskets, or marine hatch gaskets, these products provide excellent compression and recovery properties, ensuring long-lasting sealing performance.
Versatile Applications
Silicone sponge rubber products find application in a wide range of industries and sectors. At Exactseal, we use sponge rubber to create a variety of products, including gaskets and cushions. These products are ideal for severe weather sealing in outdoor environments, press relief pads, and various environmental cushioning and gasketing applications. They are also the preferred choice for industries. Which includes medical, pharmaceutical, and food processing due to their durability and resistance to extreme conditions. In the automotive industry, our products are used for sealing doors, hoods, and trunks to prevent water and noise intrusion. In the aerospace sector, they provide cushioning and vibration isolation for sensitive electronic components and equipment. Marine hatch gaskets made from silicone sponge rubber ensuring watertight seals on ship hatches. While sponge gaskets in HVAC systems provide thermal insulation and noise reduction.
