03 The variety of BIW silicone foams is as big as the variety of applications. Whether cold or hot, dynamically or statically stressed, whether chemical prevailing conditions or in contact with foodstuffs, whether thermal insulation or rattle prevention, whether fine-pored and closed-cells or simply for weight reduction, whether low-smoke/low-tox qualified of as a simple seal, BIW has an answer for every question. The product range of BIW foams is constantly develo- ping. Our application engineers are constantly generating new variants with our customers and the entire technical support in production and our technology centre. Apart from a sealing range from 0.25 – 0.85 g/cm3 , dimensions are from a hose diameter of 100 mm, squares with a width of up to 250 mm, temperature resistance up to 300°C and numerous fabrication possibilities have now become the standard. By fabrication, we mean cross cutting, producing seal rings using special joint technologies, creating frames, fitting foam profiles with self-adhesive, blanking and notching seals and any desired combinations. Because of the constantly growing market requirements, more and more foam qualities are being created. Apart from the range of foam thicknesses, the non-flammable, or at least flame retardant variants for aviation and railway technology are worth mentioning. The corresponding mate- rial approvals and certificates at international standards, in particular with regard to low-smoke/low-tox specifications, exist for several BIW foams. Silicone foams for contact with foodstuffs, including accompanying validations, are also available. Please ask for the desired documents from your customer advisor. If edge protection with metal inlay as co-extrudate and silicone foam is technically realised and qualified, and the external testing body confirms the customer specifi- cations for the material in respect of temperature resis- tance and fire behaviour (smoke density and toxicity), we have successfully fulfilled another particular challenge faced by BIW silicone foams. Tell us your challenges, we are looking forward to them. SILICONE FOAM FOR EVERY OCCASION — DR.
