Low-Density Liquid Silicone Foam Gains Traction

Against the background of tightening safety standards for helmets, pads and sports mats, lightweight impact absorption has become one of the key assessment indicators for protective equipment materials. Many overseas end-users hope to reduce the overall weight of gear while maintaining reliable protection performance under repeated impacts.

The upgraded Liquid Silicone Foam adopts an optimized Addition Curing Silicone base material; it can realize a uniform closed-cell structure after mixing and foaming, with low shrinkage rate, good resilience and excellent impact absorption. Compared with conventional foam materials, the new grade effectively cuts down product weight, and keeps stable cushioning performance under long-term repeated compression and alternating hot and cold working conditions.

At present, sample requests from Europe, North America and Southeast Asia are increasing. Technical teams are providing customized density, hardness and thickness adjustment services according to actual working conditions of helmet liners, knee and elbow pads and gym mats. Market insiders mentioned that low-density liquid silicone foam will occupy a larger market share in protective cushioning, sports equipment and safety gear fields in the next few quarters.
