Designed and developed specifically for the manufacture of extruded silicone sponge products, the expanSil™range offers incredible resilience and versatility for industries where adverse temperatures are an issue.
Available in General Purpose (GP) and a number of specialist grades, expanSil™ can also be used where there are uneven sealing surfaces requiring a supple material.
The popular material is manufactured in various different ways, making it ideal for hundreds of different applications.
Specialist grades include high temperature, flame retardant and low smoke and toxicity. These materials are used where more demanding applications or environments are required.
Perfect for industries such as Mass Transit and Aerospace, expanSil™ specialist grades are continuously developed, refined and improved.
