Can silicone be foamed? sure. Maybe there is one by your side, but when you see it, you may regard it as a sponge, because it looks like it and feels very soft.

Foamed silica gel belongs to addition type silica gel, two-component addition type silica gel. It consists of two parts: A component is silica gel, and B component is a curing agent; the two components are mixed in a ratio of 1:1. This product is a white vulcanized soft elastic material.

Foamed silica gel products are made of pure silicone material through chemical foaming. After foaming, the pore size is small and fine and uniform. Foamed silica gel is an environmentally friendly material, and the products produced are non-toxic, tasteless, safe and hygienic.

       The temperature range of liquid foamed silicone can be used for a long time at -65°C-200°C and maintain its soft and elastic properties. It is environmentally friendly and non-toxic. It has passed SGS environmental protection and non-toxic certification. It has excellent electrical properties and chemical stability, and is resistant to water, ozone, It is weather-resistant, non-corrosive, physiologically inert, non-toxic, tasteless, low linear shrinkage, and easy to operate.

Foamed silica gel has been widely used due to its excellent characteristics.

    Mainly used to make silicone foam sealing strip, flame retardant foam board, silicone foam sheet, shockproof silicone foam board, silicone foam coil, copier transfer roller sponge tube, printer shaft sponge tube, silicone hair Bubble insulation pipe etc.

    The finished products are mainly used as shock-absorbing and cushioning accessories, such as sound-proof and shock-absorbing sealing strips for cars and trains, and can also be used for filling bags, sofas, cushions, etc.

  Foamed silica gel not only has many characteristics of silica gel itself, such as environmental protection, insulation, waterproof, strong weather resistance, acid and alkali resistance, high and low temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, anti-aging, small shrinkage, etc., but also has other silica gel products. Many features that it does not have. Such as superior flame retardancy, it has been widely used in some high-temperature workshops or high-speed rail trains and aircrafts that have special requirements for fire protection. In addition, foamed silica gel is light in weight, and the conventional products of Hongye Silicone have a foaming rate of 2-7 times, which solves the problem of overweight silicone products, so many manufacturers use foamed silica gel to fill, such as the filling of silicone dolls, which not only reduces The overall weight enhances the feel experience.
