Ceramicization Technology: From Polymer to Ceramic Under Heat

When exposed to temperatures exceeding 500°C, the silicone matrix undergoes controlled ceramicization, forming a rigid, porous ceramic structure while retaining the foam’s original shape. Key advancements include:

  • Self-supporting ceramization: The glass fiber reinforcement prevents collapse during phase transition, maintaining >80% volume integrity (per ASTM D3574).

  • Endothermic reaction: Absorbs 1,200–1,500 J/g during decomposition, delaying heat transfer (tested per ISO 5660-1).

  • Low thermal conductivity (0.12 W/m·K): The ceramicized layer acts as an insulating barrier, reducing heat flux to protected components.


Multi-Layer Thermal Barrier Performance

Thermal & Mechanical Properties

  • Temperature range:

    • Short-term: Withstands 1,200°C (e.g., jet engine firewall seals).

    • Continuous use: Stable at –60°C to +350°C (industrial furnace gaskets).

  • Compression recovery (30–50%): Resilient under cyclic thermal expansion (tested per ASTM F38).

  • Tensile strength (2.0 MPa): Glass fiber reinforcement resists cracking during vibration.

Fire Safety Compliance

  • UL 94 V-0 rated: Zero flaming droplets, critical for aviation and rail.

  • ASTM E119 fireproofing: Achieves 2-hour fire barrier certification for construction.



Industrial Applications in Extreme Environments

  • Energy: Seals for lithium-ion battery packs (prevents thermal runaway propagation).

  • Aerospace: Firewall gaskets in engines and auxiliary power units (APUs).

  • Industrial: Expansion joints in steel mills and chemical processing pipelines.



Eco-Friendly and Long-Lifespan Advantages

  • Non-toxic smoke: Meets FAA smoke density requirements (<5 Ds max per ASTM E662).

  • Zero halogen: Complies with EN 45545-2 for rail transportation.

  • Service life >15 years: Resists UV, ozone, and thermal aging (per ASTM D573).



Custom Engineering for Critical Sealing Needs

  • Precision die-cutting: Tolerances ±0.2 mm for complex geometries (e.g., turbine housing seals).

  • Hybrid designs: Combine with conductive fillers for EMI shielding + fireproofing.

Rapid prototyping: 3D-knife cutting for R&D validation within 72 hours.
