Silicone foam gaskets and cushioning pads in custom die-cut, water jet–cut, and slit-to-width configurations are available for use on medical diagnostic equipment. The silicone foam is produced from new liquid silicone rubber technology, and many grades are flame-retardant, meeting UL94V0 and UL94HF-1. A full line of silicone foam products is provided in six compression-force deflections, ranging from ultrasoft (0.75 psi) to extra firm (18 psi). The thickness range is .032" through 1.0" thick, and special gauges can be attained by bonding layers using low-viscosity silicone bonding adhesives. The compression set properties of silicone foam make it ideal for shock and cushioning pads in applications where temperature extremes are anticipated.
