Products made of foamed silicone are mainly used for shock-absorbing and cushioning accessories, such as sound-proof and shock-absorbing sealing strips for cars and trains, and can also be directly used for filling bags, sofas, cushions and other products. Foamed silica gel not only has many characteristics of silica gel itself, such as environmental protection, insulation, waterproof, weather resistance, acid and alkali resistance, high and low temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, anti-aging, etc., but also has many characteristics that other silicone products do not have.
Styrofoam, also known as polyurethane foam (OCF), is the product of the combination of aerosol technology and polyurethane foam technology. The foamed silica gel is easy to preserve.
