Shenzhen, China — HONG YE SILICONE (Shenzhen Hong Ye Jie Technology Co., Ltd.) has released a versatile liquid silicone foam, also known as Foamed Silicone or Silicone Sponge, to serve growing global demand for lightweight cushioning and sealing materials in automotive, sports protection, seating and industrial applications. The release expands the company's addition-curing RTV-2 silicone rubber portfolio. The new two-part, platinum-cured addition-curing silicone features a tunable foaming ratio from 2x to 7x volume expansion, evenly distributed micropores, low linear shrinkage and reliable compression rebound. It cures into a soft, ultra-lightweight, eco-friendly cellular material that can be produced in virtually any thickness, with long-term service from -65C to 200C.
Applications span multiple industries: in vehicles, seat cushions, headrests, battery cell cushioning and thermal padding; in sealing, seals, gaskets, weather strips, foam boards and tubing; in comfort and protection, insoles, pads, sports helmets and protective gear, and children's pillows; and in robotics, filling for silicone robots and dolls.
Industry research values the Silicone Foam market for electronics and electric vehicles at about USD 1.18 billion in 2026, projected to reach USD 3.93 billion by 2035 (CAGR 14.3%, Morgan Reed Insights). Demand is driven by EV battery safety requirements, stricter flame-retardancy standards and the industry-wide push for lighter vehicles. With more than 20 years of focus on silicone rubber manufacturing and exports to 138+ countries and regions, HONG YE SILICONE offers OEM production with pre-production samples; hardness, density and packaging can be tailored to buyer specifications. As lightweight sealing and cushioning become standard in modern manufacturing, liquid silicone foam is emerging as a strategic material choice for global B2B buyers.
