Soft Cellular Silicone
IOTA-BF-1000
Compressibility,
softness, and durability allow BF-1000 to adapt to various 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.
Features and Benefits
Good memory and
low stress relaxation reduces maintenance costs associated with gasket failures
due to compression set and softening.
Softness allows
designers to use less force to seal enclosures and still protect their device
from the environment.
High compressibility
allows the material to conform to variable width gaps and awkward shapes,
thereby allowing engineers more design flexibility.
Resistance to
ultraviolet light, ozone,
extreme temperatures, and flame enables consistent performance in all
environments.
Applications
Environmental seals to
protect against penetration of dust, moisture, air or light within outdoor
enclosures such as lighting fixtures, HVAC units, and electronic cabinets.
Vibration isolation
in electronic components
and transportation vehicles.
Fire retardant thermal
insulation.
Installation
Available with a
pressure-sensitive adhesive on one or two sides to allow easy application to a
variety of surfaces.
