ⅠComparsion of Mainstream Flame Retardant Foam Materials
At present, the mainstream flame retardant foam materials in the market mainly include silicone foam, polyurethane (PU) flame retardant foam, polyethylene (PE) flame retardant foam, neoprene flame retardant foam, and rock wool foam. Different materials have obvious differences in flame retardant grade, high-temperature resistance, environmental protection, and application scenarios. The following is a detailed comparison to help you quickly screen the most suitable flame retardant foam for your project.

Performance Indicators |
Our Silicone Flame Retardant Foam Board |
PU Flame Retardant Foam |
PE Flame Retardant Foam |
Neoprene Flame Retardant Foam |
Rock Wool Foam |
|
Flame Retardant Grade |
UL94 V-0, HF-1 (highest level), non-combustible, no dripping, low smoke |
UL94 B1/B2, combustible, produces dripping and a lot of smoke when burned |
UL94 B1/B2, flame-retardant but not non-combustible, easy to melt and drip |
UL94 B1, flame-retardant, may burn under direct flame, slight smoke |
A1 grade non-combustible, but produces smoke when heated |
|
Smoke Density (Ds, 1min) |
<15, low smoke, no toxic gas emission |
>50, high smoke density, releases toxic gases (formaldehyde, cyanide) |
30-50, moderate smoke, no obvious toxic gas |
25-40, slight smoke, no toxic gas |
>40, smoke when heated, no toxic gas |
|
High-Temperature Resistance |
Continuous use: -50℃~220℃, intermittent: up to 250℃, special grade up to 500℃ |
Continuous use: up to 82℃, degrades and burns at high temperature |
Continuous use: up to 70℃, softens and deforms at high temperature |
Continuous use: up to 93℃, unable to withstand high heat for a long time |
Continuous use: up to 650℃, but poor flexibility |
|
Environmental Protection |
Non-toxic, odorless, RoHS compliant, no harmful substances, recyclable |
May contain harmful flame retardants (bromine), releases toxic gas when burned, not environmentally friendly |
Non-toxic, but difficult to degrade, poor environmental protection |
Non-toxic, but contains chemical additives, poor aging resistance |
Non-toxic, natural inorganic material, environmentally friendly but easy to absorb moisture |
|
Flexibility & Processability |
High flexibility, good compression resilience (compression set <5% at 100℃ for 22h), easy to cut, punch, paste, suitable for complex shapes |
Brittle, easy to crack, difficult to process into complex shapes, poor resilience |
Good flexibility, but poor compression resilience, easy to deform after long-term use |
Good flexibility, but poor high-temperature resilience, easy to age and harden |
Hard and brittle, easy to break, difficult to install on curved surfaces |
|
Thermal Insulation Performance |
Thermal conductivity: 0.06 W/(m·K), stable insulation effect at high temperature |
Thermal conductivity: 0.030-0.040 W/(m·K), insulation performance degrades at high temperature |
Thermal conductivity: 0.035-0.045 W/(m·K), average insulation effect |
Thermal conductivity: 0.040-0.050 W/(m·K), ordinary insulation effect |
Thermal conductivity: 0.035-0.045 W/(m·K), good insulation but poor sealing |
|
Service Life |
10-15 years, excellent aging resistance, stable performance in harsh environments |
3-5 years, easy to degrade, short service life |
4-6 years, poor aging resistance, easy to crack outdoors |
4-7 years, susceptible to ozone and UV, performance declines rapidly |
5-8 years, easy to absorb moisture and agglomerate, need regular replacement |
|
Application Scenarios |
Electronic equipment, automotive engine, industrial furnaces, aerospace, high-temperature pipelines, public places (high safety requirements) |
Building interior insulation, low-temperature pipelines, ordinary packaging (low flame retardant requirements) |
Daily packaging, low-temperature insulation, light industrial equipment |
HVAC systems, industrial gaskets, automotive parts (low-temperature environment) |
Building exterior insulation, industrial kilns, high-temperature pipelines (non-flexible requirements) |
Ⅱ OUR PRODUCT
ITEM NAME :
Flame-retardant silicone foam sheet/ Flame resistant silicone sponge sheet
FEATURE:
Top-level flame retardant grade: It meets UL94 V-0 , achieving non-combustible performance.
Safe combustion performance: No dripping during combustion, no toxic or harmful gas emission, which can effectively reduce secondary damage caused by smoke and toxins.
Stable flame retardancy: It can maintain stable V0 flame-retardant performance for a long time in the temperature range of -50℃~220℃ (intermittent up to 250℃), avoiding flame retardant failure in high-temperature environments.
Stable and excellent physical properties
