Description

Saint-Gobain® Norseal® F-12 silicone foam combines unique flame retardancy and low toxic gas emission properties with excellent compression set resistance, conformity and low density. Combining two or all of these properties makes F-12 the ultimate fireblocking silicone foam for fire- and heat-resistant gaskets, seals and cushioning, as well as radiant heat shields and insulation blankets.

F-12 offers a high degree of design flexibility. Lightweight and easy to process, it can be laminated to seat cover fabrics and carpeting as a backing for added flame resistance in passenger compartment furnishings. For aircraft and aerospace applications, F-12’s very low density allows for weight savings, which increases aircraft fuel efficiency. As lamp gaskets for high intensity lighting, F-12’s compression set, fire resistance and excellent weathering properties allow for safe, continuous outdoor operation and low maintenance.
