Sponge Silicone Profiles (Cellular)
Extruded sponge silicone profiles with a closed-cell structure. Low density, high compressibility, and elastic recovery. Compliance with FDA, EC 1935/2004, EN 45545-2, UL94, USP VI, and ISO 10993. Manufacturing under ISO 9001 and ISO 13485.
Process Principle
Sponge silicone profiles are manufactured via expanded extrusion, generating a closed-cell structure that offers lightness, thermal insulation, and excellent resilience.
Materials and Formulations
Made from cellular VMQ silicone with densities from 0.25 to 0.6 g/cm³. Food-grade, medical-grade, fire-retardant, antistatic, or high-temperature formulations. Certified FDA, EC 1935/2004, UL94, EN 45545-2, USP VI, and ISO 10993.
Dimensions and Finishes
Sections from 5×5 mm up to 50×50 mm. Tolerances according to ISO 3302-1 E3. Smooth or micro-textured surface. Translucent, white, grey, or custom RAL colors.
Production Environments
Production under ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 in an industrial environment or ISO 8 cleanroom, with batch-by-batch density, compression, and elastic recovery control.
