PORON® and BISCO® foams for critical sealing applications.

PORON® and BISCO® foams specially designed for critical sealing applications

Nowadays, material technologies are transforming the different industry sectors, where more and more applications require more demanding, efficient and certified solutions.

At Fustier, providing reliability and quality in the adhesive solutions we recommend is a priority.To achieve this, we use the best materials and products available on the market in every situation, while complying with the safety specifications and standards of the industry we work in.

Along these lines, today we would like to talk about PORON® Polyurethane Foams and BISCO® Silicone Foams from our partner  Rogers Corporation, which due to their superiority over other foams on the market, are an excellent solution forcritical sealing and noise or vibration reduction applications in industries, such as automotive, railway or renewable energies.

To show you its versatility, below we will suggest 4 typical applications in these 3 industries, with problems that we have usually encountered to solve, where we will provide you with the best solution that we at Fustier recommend, as it has been successfully tested, as well as the benefits and advantages that it can bring to your applications.

AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS

AIRBAG SENSOR and PROPELLANT (insulation due to temperature fluctuations andintensive use / space filling and sealing)

Sensor y Propulsor Airbag

Common problems:

• The airbag sensors under the occupant seat cushion which are responsible for triggering the airbag are affected by heavy use.
• Continuous operation over a wide temperature range (–40°C to 85°C).
• Movement of the propellant must be prevented to ensure airbag deployment.
• Flame-retardant properties are required.

Recommended solutions by Fustier:

BISCO® Silicone die-cut parts

Benefits provided:

• Highly durable and recovers quickly after compression regardless of temperature.
• Long-term durability.
• Prevents damage to propellants.
• Minimised fire potential during ignition.

Advantages of BISCO® over other silicone foams:

• • BISCO® is extremely resistant to mechanical fatigue.
  • It has the ability to regain its original thickness after extreme compression, regardless of temperature.
  • BISCO® performs consistently in applications over a wide temperature range (–50°C – 200°C) and peaks up to 250°C.
  • It provides hermetic and sustained sealing over time.
  • BISCO® has fire and flame-retardant capabilities (you can watch in the video bellow)

ROOF ANTENNA (SEALING)

Roof antenna

Common problem:

• Liquid can leak into the vehicle through the access hole in the roof.

Recommended solution by Fustier:

• PORON® polyurethane die-cut parts
• BISCO® Silicone die-cut parts

Benefits provided:

Advantages of PORON® over other polyurethane foams:

• PORON® has an open cell structure of microcellular elastomer, which provides stress relief in the material subjected to prolonged constant stress.
• PORON® has the ability to regain its original thicknessafter being subjected to extreme compression over wide temperature ranges for long periods of time.
• It is non-corrosive to metal and will not become brittle or crumble, hence providing sustained performance over time.

RAILWAY APPLICATION

TRAIN SEATS (gap filling between seat and sidewall)

Train seats

Common problem:

Recommended solution by Fustier:

• BISCO® Silicone die-cut parts

Benefits provided:

• Filling gaps between seat and sidewall
• Reduction of noise caused by vibration
• Meets EN45545 smoke and flame requirements
• Long-term sustained performance
• Vibration damping
• Eliminates pinch points

RENEWABLE ENERGY APPLICATION

EXTERNAL SEALING

Wind Blades

Common problem:

• Need for sealing maintenance hatch joints
• Need for sealing joints of electronic enclosures
• High exposure to changing weather, heat and rain
• UV resistance

Recommended solution by Fustier:

• PORON® polyurethane die-cut parts
• BISCO® Silicone die-cut parts

Benefits provided:

• Hermetic sealing at all temperatures
• Long-term sustained performance
• UV resistance
• Excellent resistance to compression deformation
• Resistance to all types of weather

As you can see, our material solutions, such as PORON® Polyurethane Foams and BISCO® Silicone Foams from our partner, Rogers Corporation are designed for very demanding applications, including long-lasting sealing and joining solutions, as well as damping, sound and heat insulation that meet the stringent specifications of the railway, automotive or renewable energy industries, and whose sustained optimal performance makes them unquestionably the best choice on the market.
