Porous and low density: the density of silica gel foam can be greatly reduced by foaming treatment. The density of conventional silicone rubber foam material is about 0.35g/cm3, while the density of silica gel foam material prepared by mature technology can be as low as 0.16~0.20g/cm3, which is light in weight and highly compressible, and can provide good cushioning and filling effects in small spaces.
Soft and elastic: Silicone foam retains the high elasticity of silicone rubber, which is soft and elastic. It can quickly recover to its original state after withstanding certain pressure, is not easily deformed, and can adapt to irregular surface adhesion, providing good sealing effect.
High and low temperature resistance: It can be used for a long time in a wide temperature range of -60 to 200 ℃ and maintain its soft and elastic properties. It can adapt to various extreme temperature environments, such as not easily melting or deforming in high temperature environments, and still maintain good flexibility and performance stability in low temperature environments.
Good thermal insulation performance: Closed cell silicone foam has good thermal insulation performance, which can effectively reduce heat transfer and can be used in occasions that require thermal insulation, such as new energy vehicle battery packs, building roofs, walls, and pipelines.
Excellent electrical insulation performance: Silicone foam has good electrical insulation properties, which can effectively block the conduction of current, with low dielectric constant and dielectric loss factor. It can be used as an insulation material in electronic devices to prevent leakage and short circuits. However, as the amount of physical filler increases, the volume resistivity and surface resistivity of silicone rubber will decrease, while the dielectric constant and dielectric loss factor will generally increase. Therefore, adding physical fillers will to some extent damage the electrical insulation performance of silicone rubber.
Chemical corrosion resistance: Silicone foam has good resistance to most chemical substances, can resist the erosion of acids, alkalis, salts, organic solvents and other chemical substances, maintain stable performance in various chemical media, and can be used in harsh chemical environments.
Chemical inertness and environmental friendliness: Silicone foam is usually non-toxic and harmless, meets environmental requirements, has physiological inertness, does not react with human tissues and blood, and can be used in fields with high safety requirements such as medical devices and food packaging. It is safe and reliable to use.
Sound absorption and noise reduction: Silicone foam can absorb sounds from the surrounding environment and has good sound absorption and noise reduction effects. It can be used as a sound isolation and noise reduction material, such as in the fields of automobiles, airplanes, rail transit, etc., to reduce noise and improve ride comfort.
Good waterproof and airtight performance: Silicone foam has excellent waterproof properties, which can effectively prevent the invasion of moisture and other harmful substances, ensuring stable material performance in humid or high water environments. It can be used for sealing gaskets, waterproofing membranes, etc., to protect the safety of internal components.
Good flame retardant performance: Silicone foam with added flame retardant has excellent flame retardant performance, and the flame retardant level can reach UL94-V0, which can effectively prevent the occurrence and spread of fires, reduce the losses and hazards caused by fires.
