These materials, which are offered in cellular, solid and specialty grades, are used in a wide range of markets, from transportation and communications to electronics and high intensity lighting. Applications include gaskets and seals, high temperature PCB thermal insulation and battery shields, automotive heat shields, and vibration and acoustic mitigation pads.
The new BISCO Selection Guide includes product samples and tips for materials selection based on market applications. There are specification tables for cellular and solid grade silicones listing typical physical properties, flammability and outgassing, temperature resistance and electrical/thermal properties.
Additional tables provide acoustic and thermal performance values for specialty silicones; thickness tolerances for cellular standard and solid standard; width tolerance for all three grades; aerospace, global and general industry specifications, and product availability.
Rogers ' BISCO Silicones are resistant to temperature extremes, UV and ozone, and are extremely resistant to mechanical fatigue. They also exhibit excellent compression set and creep resistance. All BISCO Silicones carry the most stringent UL flame ratings available.
