Silicone foam gaskets enjoy extensive usage in sealing where there is a need for an aggressive, long-term, and elastic sealant to resist dust, water, and severe temperature variations. Their closed-cell structure provides them with low water absorption and high insulation characteristics, making them suitable for application in electrical enclosures, HVAC, LED lighting, and automobile engines. Silicone foam also has very high compression set resistance, i.e., it can retain its shape and sealing capability even after prolonged compression and usage, making it very crucial for applications where the pressure needs to be maintained continuously.
