Silicone Foam
EMCO Industrial Plastics carries Silicone foam available in strip, sheet, roll, or custom gasket forms. Silicone displays excellent resistance to high and low temperatures, compression set, chemicals and weather. Applications include gaskets, heat shields, fire stops, cushions, and insulation for a wide variety of applications. Available in closed cell, with pre-applied single or double-sided High Temperature Adhesive backing options, and ultra-smooth, smooth, or textured finishes.
Our Silicone materials are available in thicknesses of 1/32” to 1”, including all standard iterations of inch and metric thickness measurements across this range. Continuous strips, rolls, and sheets are available in any width from 1/8” to 36”, and lengths up to 32’. In-house CNC gasket cutting, machining, and waterjet cutting capabilities promote tight tolerances, repeatable accuracy, and rapid part development across our entire Silicone offering.
Material Highlights
- Very resilient
- Wide temperature range
- Ozone and UV resistant
- Great weatherability
Material Grades
| Standard |
Made of industrial grade materials for general purpose use. |
| Fabric Reinforced |
Nylon and Polyester inserts help withstand high stress and frequent flexing. Commonly used for flange gaskets, diaphragm packing, or in heavy-compression applications. |
| Flame Retardant |
Meets UL94 V0 standard for flammability, smoke, and toxicity. |
| Food |
Meets FDA CFR 117.2600 food grade standard. Commonly used in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical processing applications. |
| Low Compression Set |
Withstands repetitive and extended periods of compression longer than standard foam materials. |
