Reinforced silicone sponge rubber is a general purpose closed cell sponge and can be used in most gasketing applications. This material is flexible and compressible and designed for use in extreme temperature ranges, with excellent weatherability, electrical strength and non-stick properties. The fiberglass is sandwiched between two layers of silicone sponge and offers dimensional stability in the x-y directions. The addition of fiberglass also allows for the accurate cutting of narrow wall gaskets.
