Silicone Sponge Section Grades

Our silicone sponge extrusions are available in multiple grades and specifications. Designed for performance and reliability, our high quality silicone products offer excellent resistance to extreme temperatures, UV exposure, moisture, and chemicals, making them suitable for demanding environments across industries.

General Purpose Silicone Sponge Extrusions

General purpose silicone sponge sheet is a soft, compressible sealing material designed to provide excellent cushioning and sealing performance in a wide range of applications. It offers good flexibility, resilience, and thermal stability, making it suitable for use in environments requiring reliable sealing under varying conditions. Operating temperature range: -60°C to +200°C

High Temp Silicone Sponge Extrusions

High temperature silicone sponge is a lightweight, compressible sealing material designed for reliable performance in elevated heat environments. It maintains excellent flexibility and recovery while providing effective sealing and insulation properties under continuous thermal stress. Operating temperature range: -60°C to +270°C (up to 300°C intermittently)

FDA Silicone Sponge Extrusions

FDA silicone sponge is a soft, food-grade sealing material designed for use in hygiene-critical environments requiring safe and reliable performance. It offers excellent compressibility, resilience, and sealing capability, making it suitable for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications. Operating temperature range: -60°C to +200°C.

Flame Retardant Silicone Sponge Extrusions

Flame retardant silicone sponge is a lightweight, compressible sealing material designed to provide enhanced resistance to ignition and flame spread. It combines the softness and flexibility of silicone sponge with improved fire safety performance, making it suitable for use in electrical and industrial applications where protection is critical. Operating temperature range: -60°C to +200°C.

Metal Detectable Silicone Sponge Extrusion

Metal detectable silicone sponge is a specialist sealing material designed for applications where product contamination must be minimised, particularly within food processing, pharmaceutical and medical industries. The material combines the benefits of silicone sponge with metal-detectable properties, allowing fragments to be identified by suitable detection equipment. It also provides good temperature resistance and long-term durability in demanding environments. Operating temperature range: -60°C to +200°C

Fluorosilicone Sponge Extrusion

Fluorosilicone sponge is a high-performance, compressible sealing material that combines the flexibility of silicone sponge with enhanced resistance to fuels, oils, and chemicals. It is well suited for demanding environments such as aerospace and automotive applications where exposure to harsh substances is common. Operating temperature range: -60°C to +200°C.

Why choose silicone sponge sections.

Silicone sponge sections offer a lightweight and flexible solution for applications requiring effective compression, insulation and protection. Their soft, cellular construction allows the material to adapt to uneven surfaces and create a reliable seal when compressed, making them suitable for a variety of industrial and commercial uses. Commonly specified for enclosures, machinery, equipment housings and general engineering applications, silicone sponge sections help prevent the ingress of dust, water and air while providing additional cushioning and vibration absorption. The material also performs exceptionally well in demanding environments, with excellent resistance to high temperatures, UV exposure, ozone and weathering. Available in different profiles, dimensions and sponge densities, silicone sponge sections can be supplied to meet specific design requirements, offering a durable and adaptable sealing solution.

Exceptional Compression Properties

Silicone sponge sections compress easily under low force, making them ideal for applications where a reliable seal is required without excessive pressure being applied.

Superior Compression and Recovery

They compress easily under low pressure and recover quickly to their original thickness, ensuring consistent and reliable sealing performance.

Excellent Sealing at Low Compression Force

Silicone sponge sections are highly effective in sealing air, dust, and moisture even in applications where only minimal compression force is available.

Lightweight and Low-Density Structure

Their sponge-like cellular structure makes them significantly lighter than solid silicone rubber, making them ideal for applications where weight reduction is important.
