New Product: Fire-retardant, low smoke/low toxic Silicone Sponge
April 13, 2017
SFS has developed a silicone sponge that meets the latest fire and smoke approvals. Independent testing has verified that SFS products meet EN45545-2 and UL94-V0. The SP-RL grades of silicone sponge have been developed for the rail industry. SP-RL silicone sponges have inherent advantages of non-cellular silicone.
- Better Sealing
- Lower closure force, enabling thinner and lighter substrates to be used
- Reduced Weight
SP-RL can be extruded in specific shapes, with a smooth skinned surface. The closed-cell sponge prevents the ingress of water and dust, and IP66 can be achieved. Fabricated gaskets can be manufactured from the extruded profiles or cut from sheet. Typical uses are:
- Door and roof seals
- Lighting Gaskets
- HVAC Seals and Gaskets
- Anti-vibration
- Acoustic Dampening
