Auburn Manufacturing Co. PDF BF-2000 Ultra Soft Silicone Foam

Auburn Manufacturing Co. PDF BF-2000 Ultra Soft Silicone Foam is a highly compressible silicone foam. The combination of low weight and softness makes this flame retardant foam ideal for transportation, industrial, and electronics applications where low closure force and dust sealing are critical. Auburn silicones are available in various thicknesses and manufactured in roll forms and sheet forms that can be further die cut into gaskets to proper dimensions.

Features & Benefits

Features & Benefits

Features and Benefits

  • Ultra low 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, thereby allowing 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.
