BISCO Silicone Material

As a Rogers® Preferred Converter, Gasket Engineering is well-versed in converting their most-popular BISCO® silicone material, which provides the perfect solution for a wide variety of gasketing needs. Silicones are unique from other polyurethanes, EPDMs, EVAs in that they can hold up in a very wide range of temperatures (-55C to 205C!) and can also go many, many years in an application without losing their physical properties.

BISCO® Silicone Material Properties:

Inorganic silicone material
High performance over a wide temperature range
UL94 V0 Flame Rating

BISCO Silicone Material Applications:

Gasketing & Sealing for dust, fluid and light
Isolate vibration
Fill gaps
Water Sealing

Why Does BISCO Silicone Material Work So Well?

From the Softest to the Firmest
BISCO silicone materials come in a wide variety of foam, solids and composite materials. These cellular materials come in a variety of firmness to meet every customer need. In most applications the softer foams will work if the customer is worried about deflection of a plastic part or thin metal parts within an enclosure.

They range from BF-2000 (our softest material), through HT-840 (the firmest material produced.) Typical results are targeted at the mid of deflection for a material. In example, HT-800 has a compression range of 6 – 14 PSI, but typically it is 8-9 PSI.

Wide Temperature Range
BSCO silicone materials are perfect for applications with large temperature range requirements or heat and cold cycling. RS-700 sponge series is a closed cell offering for rugged applications and excellent water sealing at low compressions.
High Tensile Strength and Fluid Resistant
The HT-1200 series is a general purpose silicone rubber with a very high tensile strength for applications with high shear. The grade is also resistant to most fluids. HT-1250 is also compliant with FDA food contact regulations for both consumer and medical type applications.
