Norseal R10480S (Soft) is a low compression set closed-cell silicone sponge rubber designed for gasketing applications. It offers flexibility and compressibility, making it suitable for use in extreme temperature ranges from -100¬8F to +500¬8F (-73¬8C to 260¬8C). The material exhibits excellent weatherability, compression set resistance, and electrical strength, along with non-stick properties. This product meets various industry standards, including UL 50E for electrical enclosures and MIL-R-6130 Type II, Grade B and C. It has a soft density that requires low compression force and maintains resiliency under extended compression. Typical properties include a compression deflection of 5 psi (35 kPa), elongation of 75%, tensile strength of 50 psi (345 kPa), and a density of 21 lbs./ft¬= (332 kg/m¬=). Water absorption is less than 5%, ensuring durability in various applications. Available in multiple thicknesses and formats, including continuous rolls and sheets, Norseal R10480S is suitable for diverse applications such as missiles, drones, digital signage, and environmental gasketing. It is important to test the product under specific application conditions prior to commercial use.
