What is BISCO BF-1000 Extra Soft Cellular Silicone?
Bisco BF-1000 extra soft cellular silicone foam which is a highly compressible, soft material. Softness makes it an ideal solution where low closure force and sealing are critical. Rogers BF-1000 Extra Soft Cellular Silicone offers the durability needed for various sealing and cushioning applications.
Although the material is an open cell, a sufficient level of compression will allow the material to create a moisture, dust and air tight seal. Rogers BF-1000 extra soft is the ideal choice for sealingoutdoor enclosures, protecting electronics from shock and heat, and providing cushioning and vibration isolation forvarious applications.
