Expanded Silicone
What is Expanded Silicone?
Expanded silicone is a type of silicone characterized by a closed-cell structure, giving it a unique combination of flexibility and compressibility.
This structure makes it particularly suitable for applications that require a lightweight but durable material, capable of conforming to irregular surfaces and providing excellent sealing.
Key Properties of Expanded Silicone
Thermal resistance
Expanded silicone retains its elastic and sealing properties across a wide range of temperatures, typically from -60°C to +230°C, making it ideal for applications in both extremely hot and cold environments.
Hydrophobicity
This material repels water, protecting underlying surfaces without compromising breathability, making it essential for seals and waterproof coatings.
Weather resistance
Expanded silicone is highly resistant to ozone, UV rays, and aging caused by environmental exposure, ensuring long-lasting performance in outdoor applications.
Flexibility and compressibility
Thanks to its closed-cell structure, expanded silicone can compress effectively, providing an airtight seal in applications that require soft, deformable materials.
