Auburn Manufacturing Co. PDF BF-1000 Extra Soft Silicone Foam

Auburn Manufacturing Co. PDF BF-1000 Extra Soft Silicone Foam's compressibility, softness and durability allow them to adapt to a variety of environments, making it an ideal choice for sealing outdoor enclosures, protecting electronics from shock and heat, and providing cushioning or vibration isolation for various applications. BF-1000 is available in various thicknesses and is manufactured in roll or sheet forms. BF-1000 can be further die cut into gaskets, seals, cushions and pads to the proper dimensions, and slit to rolls of specific width and laminated on one or two of its surfaces with silicone or acrylic PSA.

Features & Benefits

Features & Benefits

Features and Benefits

  • Softness allows designers to use less force to seal enclosures and still protect their devices from the environment.
  • High compressibility allows material to conform to variable width gaps and awkward shapes, thereby allowing engineers more design flexibility.
  • Excellent memory and low stress relaxation reduces maintenance costs associated with gasket failures due to compression set and softening.
  • Resistance to ultraviolet light, ozone, extreme temperatures, and flame enables consistent performance in all environments.
  • Available with adhesive backings of silicone type or acrylic type.

Applications & Uses
