Our team of experts will work closely with you to understand your unique needs and deliver specialized solutions that align with your goals. With our new silicone foam extrusion line, we are confident in our ability to provide top-notch products that meet the highest standards of quality and precision.

Unleashing Potential: Uncover the Design Flexibility of Silicone Foam

Silicone foam products are produced using platinum-cured liquid silicone rubber. The raw compound is expanded and dispensed on a continuous casting line, followed by a heat-curing process. A diverse range of products with varying densities, softness or firmness, and cell structures is possible by carefully controlling the expansion. 

The casting process gives silicone foam materials smooth skin on one or both sides. Open-cell silicone foams are commonly employed for cushioning, dust sealing, or providing light water sealing. On the other hand, closed-cell silicone foam materials are ideal for outdoor gaskets, wash-down gaskets, and resilient cushioning pads. With a firmness range from Ultra Soft to Extra Firm, expanded silicone foam products offer engineers the flexibility to select the most suitable option for their specific applications.

Benefits of Using Silicone Foam

Innovative Solutions: Harnessing the Power of Silicone Foam for Product Design

ABLE is proud to offer an extensive selection of extruded profile shapes, encompassing a wide range that extends beyond the following examples:

Silicone Sponge and Foam Materials 

Our silicone foam sheet and silicone sponge materials offer exceptional properties for various applications. The closed-cell elastomeric silicone foam sheet is specifically designed to provide reliable sealing, cushioning, vibration insulation, and insulation capabilities. With a range of densities from 200kg/m³ (soft) to 530 kg/m³ (firm), it caters to different requirements. Additionally, it exhibits excellent resistance to ozone, UV rays, and weathering, ensuring long-lasting performance. The closed cell structure enhances its sealing efficiency.

On the other hand, our silicone sponge material excels in environments with extreme conditions, from ozone to UV rays. It boasts an impressive temperature range from -60°C to 230°C, making it an ideal choice for sealing applications in volatile environmental conditions. Available in white, grey, and black, our silicone sponge sheeting offers versatility in design options. Our silicone foam sheet and silicone sponge materials provide reliable solutions for various industries and applications.
