Modern silicone sponge extrusions are quite advanced.

Manufacturers with a continuous production process can provide much longer coil lengths to significantly reduce set-up and changeover times, increasing the operational efficiencies and giving a competitive advantage to companies.

Conventional methods are used where appropriate, however. This ensures each silicone sponge extrusion matches every unique requirement and specifications.

It is available in several densities and can be made in different colours.

This material offers all the resilience and versatility of silicone rubber and are ideal for industries where adverse temperatures are an issue or alternatively, where there are uneven sealing surfaces requiring a supple material.

High temperature silicone sponge extrusions

Silicone sponge extrusions have the ability to perform in extremely high temperatures.

The range of standard general-purpose products will withstand temperatures of -60°C to +220°C for sustained periods of application.

With the addition of heat stabilisers the maximum working temperature of the silicone can go up to +250°C.

Sometimes, silicone sponge extrusions can withstand temperatures of up to +300°C.

It is vital to choose the right silicone sponge extrusion for your product and application.

Silicone sponge extrusions can be developed for almost any industry.

Whatever type of silicone product you need, it can be produced – including silicone sheeting, gaskets, seals, hoses, moulding extrusions and insulated cables.
