Product Features & Advantages
1. Ultra-Low Density: Density as low as 0.2-0.5 g/cm³, much lighter than traditional foaming silicone (0.6-1.0 g/cm³), effectively reducing product weight and load, solving the problem of traditional foaming materials’ heavy weight and load increase.
2. Lightweight & Performance Balance: While maintaining ultra-low density, it retains good elasticity and toughness, no brittle fracture, no deformation, ensuring product performance is not affected by lightweight.
3. Good Air Permeability: Open-cell structure ensures good air permeability, suitable for scenarios requiring ventilation and lightweight, improving product comfort and usability.
4. Lightweight Compatibility: Compatible with HONG YE SILICONE’s industrial Mold Silicone rubber and rapid prototyping silicone, forming a complete lightweight solution, enabling one-stop procurement for lightweight buyers.
5. Easy Operation: 1:1 simple mixing ratio, good flowability, easy to process into lightweight components, no professional operation skills required, improving production efficiency.
How to Use
1. Take Part A and Part B according to 1:1 weight ratio, stir separately to eliminate sediment, ensure no impurities (avoid affecting density and lightweight performance).
2. Mix and stir thoroughly for 2-3 minutes until homogeneous, vacuum degas to remove air bubbles (ensure density uniformity and open-cell structure).
3. Pour the mixture into lightweight component mold (paired with rapid prototyping silicone), foam and cure at room temperature or by heating.
4. After full curing, the product is lightweight, low in weight, good air permeability, ready for use in lightweight scenarios.
Application Scenarios
Focus on lightweight scenarios: Aerospace lightweight components (paired with industrial mold silicone rubber), automotive lightweight parts (paired with industrial mold silicone rubber), consumer electronic lightweight filling (paired with Electronic Potting Compound), lightweight robot components (paired with robot silicone), and lightweight packaging auxiliary parts (paired with Liquid Tank Silicone). It helps lightweight buyers reduce product load and improve product performance.
Certifications and Compliance
