About Silicone Sponge Cord
Silicone Sponge Cord is a high performance sponge used for water sealing in outdoor environments and help to solve tough engineering challenges. Due to its closed cell structure, it allows good water sealing with low compressive forces. It is made with gum based polydimethylsiloxane (PMDS) followed by water jet cutting, die cutting, adhesive lamination and custom assembly process. Top quality, dependable and long lasting are some of wonderful features of the sponge. Tested by able quality controllers, this Silicone Rubber Sponge is offered to our customers in various sizes and shapes.
Superior Temperature and Weather ResistanceOur Silicone Sponge Cord is engineered to perform reliably across extreme temperatures, ranging from -60C to +200C, ensuring integrity in harsh environments. Its closed-cell, smooth surface imparts resistance against moisture, UV, ozone, and exposure to weather, making it a dependable solution for both indoor and outdoor sealing and insulation tasks.
Customizable Solutions for Diverse ApplicationsWith customizable diameters (2 mm to 50 mm), lengths (custom-cut or continuous coils), and colors (with red as standard), this cord serves various applications including sealing, insulation, gasketing, and cushioning. Food-grade and flame-resistant options are available, supporting specialized uses in industries such as food processing, electronics, and manufacturing.
FAQs of Silicone Sponge Cord:
Q: How is the Silicone Sponge Cord typically used in industrial settings?
A: Silicone Sponge Cord is favorably used for sealing, insulation, gasketing, and cushioning. Its resilience and temperature stability make it an excellent choice for door seals, oven gaskets, and vibration dampening across industrial applications.
Q: What benefits does the closed-cell structure of the cord provide?
A: The closed-cell structure enhances water, UV, and ozone resistance, ensuring minimal moisture absorption and prolonged durability even in outdoor or harsh conditions. This also contributes to the cords ability to maintain its integrity and flexibility over time.
Q: Where can I install Silicone Sponge Cord for optimal performance?
A: This cord can be installed in any environment requiring robust sealing or insulation, such as around doors, machinery, electronics enclosures, or food processing equipment. Its wide operating temperature and non-toxic nature make it suitable for both industrial and hygienic settings.
Q: What is the process for ordering custom lengths or diameters?
A: To order custom-cut lengths or specify diameters between 2 mm and 50 mm, simply contact our sales team with your requirements. We accommodate customizations to ensure the cord fits your application precisely, and can supply continuous coils for larger installations if needed.
Q: When should I opt for food grade or UL 94 V-0 flame resistant options?
A: Select food grade cords when the application involves direct contact with food or drink, ensuring compliance with hygiene standards. Choose UL 94 V-0 flame-resistant cords for high-risk environments where fire safety is critical, such as electrical or thermal insulation uses.
Q: What makes this cord suitable for demanding environmental conditions?
A: The silicone material confers high resistance to temperature extremes, UV rays, ozone, and water, while maintaining flexibility and non-toxicity. These features make it a reliable solution in climates and applications where standard rubbers might fail.
