Key Features of UL 94V-0 flame retardant silicone sponge
Flame Retardant
Meets UL 94V-0 standard, indicating it extinguishes flames quickly and does not drip flaming particles.
Thermal Stability
Can withstand a wide range of temperatures, typically from -60°C to +200°C.
Flexibility and Resilience
Maintains its shape and sealing properties over time.
Chemical Resistance
UL 94V-0 is resistant to chemicals, like fuels, solvents, and oils.
Low Compression Set
Retains its shape and cushioning properties over time.
Applications of UL 94V-0 flame retardant silicone sponge
- Electronics and Electrical: Used in gaskets, seals, and insulation for electronic enclosures to prevent fire hazards.
- Automotive: Employed in seals, gaskets, and vibration-dampening components that require flame resistance.
- Aerospace: It is utilized in aircraft interiors for insulation, sealing, and cushioning applications.
- Industrial: Used in machinery and equipment where flame retardancy and high-temperature resistance are essential.
- Construction: Implemented in firestop applications, expansion joints, and other areas requiring flame-retardant materials.
Material Availability
Sheets: Available in various thicknesses and dimensions. Common for general applications where custom cutting is needed.
Rolls: Suitable for large-scale applications requiring continuous lengths.
Gaskets and Seals: Pre-cut or custom-cut to specific shapes and sizes based on application needs.
Tubes and Profiles: It is an extruded form for sealing, insulation, or protective applications.
Temperature Range
-103°F to + 450°F (-75°C to 232°C)

More Information
UL 94 V-0
- Underwriters Laboratories has a flammability and safety standard called UL 94 V-0.
- The UL 94 V-0 material meets the test standard for flammability.
- The self-extinguishing time of a vertically oriented polymer specimen is measured by the vertical burn test. The test evaluates the afterglow and burning periods and the drippage of the burning test specimen.
- The burning must end in 10 seconds with no flame spread or dripping to receive a UL 94 V-0 rating.
AMS3195
- The SAE International Group has an aircraft material specification called AMS3195.
- Our medium-density silicone sponge sheet satisfies the AMS3195 test standard's physical property requirements.
- This product has been utilised for general applications that demand closed-cell, medium sponge rubber that will remain flexible between -103 and +401 °F (-75 and +205 °C). At a high temperature, the compression set might be higher.
